    Want cheap carbon cabin air filters?

    I'll get one. I'll probably replace it after 18 months. The original one I got replaced after one year was still fairly clean... Thanks for doing this! Ricardo

    Meeting with Nissan, Phoenix, Jan 8, 2013, 6pm, drinks prior

    Thanks, Phil. Was there any word about these UI changes being propagated to 2011-2012 models as software upgrades? E.g., SOC%, forced 80% mode, climate temp for timer/remote. We can make some good use of that too! Also, do you know if you can force a slower 3 kW charge when plugged to a 6+ kW...

    L1 EVSE and snow

    I've used the L1 EVSE outdoors here in Canada quite a few times under snow and even freezing rain without any issues. Congrats on your new Leaf.

    Questions for Jan 8th Town Hall Mtg in AZ

    No offense taken. I didn't know about this meeting and given the amount of uncertainty still surrounding this subject, with many referring to it as hints, suspicions, hopes and rumors, I thought it was still up in the air. I guess this is a mute point for Tuesday anyway since a 2013 Leaf will be...

    Questions for Jan 8th Town Hall Mtg in AZ

    Thanks for compiling this list, Chelsea. > 1. What is status of Nissan’s Quick Charger plans? By Quick Charger do you mean Chademo or a faster L2 charger? More to the point, will the 2013 model have a 6.6 kW charger? I really hope so!

    I noticed something similar when I updated the iPhone to iOS 5. So I think it's something on the phone OS, not in the car.

    Excellent. Would you mind sharing your charging profile? To 80%, 100%, or mix? Any other factor that might help getting such a perfect score?

    Helium is way smaller for two reasons. It only has two electrons and both electrons orbit at the same energy level. N and O have more electrons and two energy levels, so their electron clouds are bigger. Second, Helium atoms do not normally bond to each other. A Helium molecule is just one atom...

    This subject is actually fascinating: "Each oxygen atom has 8 protons in its nucleus, while each nitrogen atom has only 7 protons in its nucleus. Thus, the overall size of the electron cloud of the O2 molecule is smaller than for N2, in part because its electron cloud is drawn in closer to the...
