$200-$400 plus permit would be my guess. Recommendations: http://popelectric.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.ladyelectric.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.evsupport.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

2 years, 25K miles, 12 bars, 95.6% capacity. QCd 100's of times back to back on long trips. At one point touched 10 temp bars. Spends most of it's time charged to 80% via timer and a light 28 mile round trip commute and usually 5 temp bars. Occasionally charged to 100% on the weekend but...

Well I would say the very first thing I don't like about it is the ordering process. They make you phone in the order and get pre-qualified to buy it prior to buying it. I REALLY don't like that. Why don't they just put it in Amazon so we can just order it without the runaround?

Just from the number of new Ford Focus Electrics I have seen this month I think they are going to see a bump in June. On Friday I saw a brand new one in my building, one on the way home and parked next to one at a Safeway in Woodinville, WA all on the same day. I have been seeing A LOT of new...

It looks like there are 43 within 100 miles of your zip code...

$150-$350 plus permit for parts and labor maximum for right next to the panel. If you need an honest electrician I would recommend these guys: http://popelectric.net/ If you want an EVSE and the install contact: http://www.evsupport.com/

OMFG that is hilarious and sad at the same time...

Don't laugh, I bet there are dishonest service writers at shady dealers who will try to sell a replacement one to some Leaf owner at some point.

I actually agree, every 5000-6000 would be better. I would also recommend going with around 40-44 PSI in your tires. They wear much more even and handing is less wallowy. This is because the Leaf is a little heavier than a normal gas car that would have the same size tires on it. This causes...

If you are on a 2 year or 3 year lease you should spend exactly zero on maintenance. Rotate tires every 7500 miles and yearly battery check, that is it. Cabin filter only needs to be changed every 3-4 years if you live in a hot and dusty climate, if leasing decline it. Brake fluid should only...

Rust-proofing is not required on a new car like the Leaf. In the paint shop at the factory, the bodies are electrostatically charged then fully dipped in primer that coats every nook and cranny of the body so they are unlikely to rust out. The Leaf also has a 5 year unlimited mileage rust...
