When I bought my 2016 SV this month, I just accepted whatever equipment came with it and counted my self lucky. The Ectopia tires that were standard equipment on the Leaf from the beginning are gone. Those were infamous for weak sidewalls and poor wear ( bridgestones specialty.. low wear). I...

There learning curve with the Leaf is steep. The manual and the electronic display features are Needlessly Complex. This is part of the greater cultural problem.. where-in computer program designers are allowed to meddle with products. They are insanely focused on inventing puzzles.. the...

God help the person "long way from home" . Highway Robbery doesn't begin to cover a $6.95 convenience fee, plus 25 cent a minute to charge at 4-6 KwH !... Blink shocked me the first time I saw the price. $6 bucks to go 60 miles ? Then I started running across stuff that looks like the...

I am eligible for a subsidized EVSE .. my cost $50 for a new: Clipper Creek, Juice Box or GE. Anybody have anything substantive to say about the build quality, reliability, or functional flaws of any of these wall mount home EVSE's ? Recurring failures, cheap construction safety issues poor...

I've been studying Leafs since Nissan was trotting around their prototype dressed as a Cube. I use the heater often.. so that eliminated the '11-12 cars, in favor of the heatpump . I have the hots for the Pearl and light interior.. not found in later cars. our primary use will be round trips of...

There are obviously losses involved in Charging . A bunch of them. Battery Heating, increased pack resistance over time, efficiency of the charger and cables, yada yada. Skipping the theorizing ( please !). Does any body keep records of their AC KwH consumption vs. how much charge they...

As the leaf loses battery capacity ( bars ) will the battery still require the same total energy (KwH) it did when "new" ? In other words will the charge efficiency go down ? Any body operating in the 50-70 % capacity range who can provide real numbers ? :)

Can any body account for poorer crash test results in 2013 and newer Leafs vs 2011/12 ? :?:
