Hi LeftieBiker, Thanks for the heads up about the accessory battery. Makes sense considering it looks like the car has been sitting on their lot for a while. Time to find me a voltmeter.

Hey guys! My parents have had a 2013 SL since new and they love their car so much that we're looking at purchasing a used LEAF for ourselves. We're planning to purchase from Motorize here in Victoria, BC as they seem to be the trusted guys in our region. The 2012 SL is on the lot and (most...

Sounds like what I thought... I'm guessing there is no problem getting from Vancouver to Kelowna with the trail of quick chargers along the way...

Hey guys, With the L3 in Revelstoke coming online, has anyone attempted a trip to Banff? It's looking pretty spartan between Revelstoke and Banff, but I wonder if anyone has attempted it?

Thanks for the reply! My hope was to get the guy down to $10K in negotiations because of the degradation of the battery, or maybe negotiate to have the battery replacement included in the deal. That said I am seeing 2013 LEAF S's for sale for $15-16K so maybe it is best to play the waiting...

Hey guys, A local car dealer (Motorize) here in Victoria, BC has a 2011 LEAF SV on their lot for $14K CDN (that's cheap, most used LEAFs are $18K-$22K here in Victoria/Vancouver. I want a LEAF so bad (I curse every time I have to gas up my current car), but just can't afford anything above that...

Are they going to add it to the site? Want one!

Hey, I'll second Morrey. My parents decided in January to get a LEAF and went to the two closest dealerships (White Rock and Langley) only to be given disinterested looks and showed the new Pathfinder Hybrid (ironic at best). The Langley guy said he was trying to get 4 LEAFs in for the City of...

It has been done before. A guy named Steve did it back in January. But his attempt was done without climate control, and he charged for a bit from a wall outlet at the old tollbooth area. http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-conquers-legendary-coquihalla-pass/"...

Why can't we have this here! Family Mart (the 2nd or 3rd biggest convenience store chain in Japan... convenience stores are HUGE in Japan) appears to be installing L3 at their locations. I love the commitment by going with ChaDeMo instead of good ol' Level 2 chargers... why can't we have...

Hey guys! Does anyone know if this kit works with the 2014 Leaf with the 360 camera accessory? The front camera is actually hidden under the Nissan logo on the front... I can't tell if it changes it to the point that the kit is no longer compatible. Thanks!

Also can confirm that Langley is operational now. Time to update the first page! Has anyone heard anything out of BCIT? drove out there a few weeks ago and saw the stations are fully installed, but they were currently in testing.

One key thing to remember is that CarWings (Car Wings? carwings?) will not work in a foreign country.... So if you want to be able to remotely check on your car, you'll need to make sure you buy it in the country you'll be using it in.

Nice! Now if only we could the Nissan dealerships to install QC stations in their dealerships haha... Someday.

I did get to test drive the i3 last weekend at the Vancouver auto show, and I must admit it's a nice car... That said, a major sticking point is that it uses the SAE Combo plug. I feel sorry for the buyer's getting the first i3's in May... I can already see some of them rolling up to the CHAdeMO...

Hey all, I stopped in to Uptown here in Victoria a week ago and saw no signs of construction... spoke with the customer service girls and got the same response as above (still in negotiations with Saanich and BC Hydro) and (she whispered) it may even be a fast charging station! haha.... My...

But wouldn't an option to offset the costs be to go with one of the 3rd party suppliers like (heaven-forbid) Blink or evGo? I do think that Starbucks would be ideal... I mean, where else can you adhere to the 30 minute charge, stay with your car and have an enjoyable cup of joe? Haha... Hell...

Long time lurker and past Starbucks partner. We have a level 3 in Bellingham WA that's part of the green highway and in a Starbucks parking lot. It is a great idea. There is a website called mystarbucksidea.com which allows people to post ideas for the company, and there are a few posts...
