...and make sure you plug into an outlet that has its own 15amp breaker, and ensure it's not an old outlet. Best to install a nice, new industrial grade outlet...not expensive to do, and worth it.

You can certainly use an extension cord - I've done it many times with my 2015 Leaf. You need to buy yourself a high quality cord made with at least 12 gauge conductors, and maybe even 10 gauge if you're going to use it every day. It also needs a heavy duty jacket to withstand being walked on...

Just wanted to share frustrating experience I had this week... There's a couple I know that own two big Mercedes SUVs. He commutes around 40 miles round trip to work each day, and she drives around town dropping their 2 kids at school and hitting the local shopping malls. Once in a while they...

For the first 2 months of Leaf ownership, we got by pretty well with the supplied EVSE at 120v. As we became more comfortable with the car we've started pushing its limits a little more, leaving the van parked as much as we can. After a few times of not being able to charge the car back up after...

Hello Canadian Leafers, I'm now about 1500km into my first Leaf, and I think it's fantastic so far. Greg Vann Nissan in Cambridge was great to deal with; 3 of their employees own Leafs, so they're really helpful and knowledgeable, which has got me off to a great start. My previous car was a...

I'm taking delivery of a 2015 Leaf SV next week...kind of excited! My question is, what software/hardware would I need to log data like SOC, range, etc. (bear with me...I've never done this sort of thing before)? Many people seem to say the Carwings thing is lack-luster for this purpose, and...

Yes, we could certainly spend a few minutes charging after work before hockey, etc. Sounds like it might work...

Thank you all very much for the replies! I should clarify that 75 miles is the most we'd drive in a day, with the average being more like 40-50 miles. Her round-trip commute itself is actually only 20 miles, so the other stuff is discretionary (kids to hockey, piano lessons, groceries, church...

Hello Leaf gurus, I am on the cusp of buying a Leaf and have been doing my due diligence in the way of research, and have been reading this website with interest. What is somewhat disturbing is that a heck of a lot of the discourse on this forum is quite negative toward the Leaf, largely...
