A call out to anyone that can answer please. I've read all posts on all 10 pages and I'm still a little confused. I'm an original and current owner of the 2011 leaf here in Phoenix. Just over 38,000 miles and 9 bars showing with a 5 years of ownership (not a lease) up on June 3,2016. Is it...

Like someone said early, the cars haven't changed, the test has. Full frontal or side at 40 mph hit, the leaf scores very good, but striking one side of the front is very different. BIG difference here, the leaf is carrying more mass, full BEV, and folds up in this type of strike. ( legs...

First, I'd like to commend Nissan for providing a warranty on battery capacity to 5yr/60k. Thank you very much! But, the battery replacement program seems riddled with problems. 1. If one signs up, runs into financial hardship (loss of job) can't afford to pay the $100 a month, does Nissan...

adric 22 You may be misinformed on loss of battery capacity ( many are, and it's understandable ) see the following pictures. http://livingleaf.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Battery-capacity-level-gauge.bmp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

Negative on the white mtns, and for #7 it represents over 95% of my charging pattern. The garage still gets to 100 to 105 during the day and doesn't bleed it off that much during the night, it is north facing (less sun) Based on my trip yesterday with a full charge when the first bar fell off I...

Phoenix,AZ here. 14 months of ownership, 12,500 miles, and NO lost bars yet. I did a 100% charge tonight, followed by a long run to 3 bars. This being the first 100% charge since Nissan did my annual battery check 2 month's ago and zero'd all my charger settings (didn't realize right away) after...

Hello RickS, The wife and I recently (last Dec) drove up to Prescott to buy a handgun, and scope out the possibility of driving the leaf up there some time. My plan was to stop at the RV/campgrounds at the Cordes Junction. They have 40 to 50 amp service in some spots and using ingineer's...

Its only spam to those with the blinders on, and time will prove it to be true. When the Wright brothers first flew, all refused to believe it till they saw a physical airplane over their head. You all may need the same unfortunate proof, such a pity, but that choice is yours.......

Same range with 1/2 the batteries ( close to 1/2 the battery cost reduction in sale price also ) by incorporating Thane's regenerative acceleration invention. EV's are just one aspect in a much larger field of disruptive technological bliss that "Perepiteia" unfolds. The ramifications are mind...

Slate me for one also Phil!

FWI, Another option for leather seat covers for the front 2 buckets is Coverking, following link is a picture of mine. $500 for both, leather facings for what touches your body, leatherette for all else. Comes with excellent side airbag flaps...

Appreciate the feedback. I've always felt that Nissan all along has been EXTREMELY paranoid about folks running themselves out of juice and ending up on the 6 o'clock news dead on the freeway with a tow truck hooking up. And rightfully so IMO, and the exact reason they discourage L1 charging...

Another report from Phoenix. I work a second shift and leave for work at 2:30 PM, Inside the garage (faces North, uninsulated walls & ceiling,but newly insulated alum. garage door,myself) Temp outside 110, inside garage Temp is 104 (gauge is located on west wall 2 feet off concrete) I leave at 6...

My wife and I, recently attended the celebration party for the 1st Leaf owner in AZ. Got there late, just missed the lucky owner, but got lucky with some spirited (literally) nice nissan employees. Don't remember any names, but do know one guy was local (abc nissan, bald,very nice fella) rest...
