Hi, I have been wondering about this for a while so checking to see if others have noticed as well.... After years of driving a 2011 LEAF, I seem to be much more sensitive to the smells of car exhaust... It used to be just older cars without catalytic converters, and 2 cycle motorcycles, but...

Hi, I did a quick look and search attempt... So far, for a portable dual L1-2 EVSE, I found the EVSE upgrage option (which I have) and also this unit, the AeroVironment TurboCord Dual Plug-in EV Charger, 120 & 240 Volt... Anyone have another to consider... ? 3.2 charging max for my...

Hi, working with Tony's Range Chart, and wondering how many Bars GIDS I might need to make 18 miles with a 6,000 vertical feet gain...? At full charge I am showing 205 GIDS at current temps... Uphill speeds are limited by statute to about 45MPH, actual in many spots much lower, but I could...

2011 LEAF I'm so hoping it's not the on board charger. Last charge on L1 was hard to start. I'm using an upgraded EVSE and it's flashing appropriate grn. Finally got the handshake and it going. Down to 3 bars. Won't charge tonight level 1 again. Beeps once. Drove to a nearby public...

Wondering here.... From a technical standpoint, I have come to prefer the Enphase to Solar Edge, and in particular, the new product offerings in the pipeline. That said, the stock price of Enphase has plummeted...the 52 week range is down from $15.25 to $1.82. My friend is convinced they...

Hi, I was at IKEA Carson, and thankfully, didn't NEED a charge, because all units are non operational at that location. Perhaps I could have begged a L1 bump. I've used IKEA chargers at Carson and the IKEA near Irvine.... I then noted that the Carson stations are indicated as non available...

So recently I made my trip return from Mt Baldy. The trip uphill requires about 9-10 bars from Claremont, so I stop and get a charge somewhere, sometimes at at SCE in Irwindale (to 100%, or the chargers actually near the base of the hill easily found online). While up there, used level 1...

Okay, my relationship with my 2011 LEAF has been trouble free so far. Did a search but seems no one has asked this... Anything I should ask the dealer to look at or check before the end of 3 years ? ... With a few days remaining in my factory warranty period, I'll be going somewhere in Los...

Hi, working on plans and permits for a major home renovation in West Los Angeles. Look to use smart energy management and electronic management for heating, passive cooling, lighting, access control, etc. This LEAF community seems to have extensive knowledge and interest in efficient home...

So, my MY2011 LEAF, when charging to 80% stopped at 11 of 12 bars displayed today--but the charge stop email states 10 of 12?. It's happened the last few charges or so. Other than that, all seems very normal for an almost 3 year old leaf. The LEAF spy pro app (no data handy at the moment)...

Just a heads up, in case anybody is looking: you can get an AT&T Fusion™ 2 GoPhone® (Certified Like-New) directly from the AT&T site for under $40 shipped (plus tax). They say certified like new, but mine arrived clearly unused...

Hi, looking to get commentary on a final drive plan to from Santa Monica to Mt Baldy Ski area and back... 2011 LEAF (not quite yet lost a bar but close). See below for drive plan... Options: On outbound could use the City of Azusa QC, and with a problem fallback to the free L2s (8 of them) at...

Well I really like my LEAF but writer Brian Thevenot ranks the LEAF behind Honda Fit and Fiat 500e... "Here's how they stacked up: Third place: Nissan Leaf.." http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-0601-hy-autos-electric-cars-20130531,0,131053.story" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

This is a first for me at least. Maybe a word to the wise for others ? Repair solutions appreciated. A local bird has commenced battle with his mirror image passenger side. These mirrors must be plastic. Enough damage to bug me. Current score, mirror functional but visually 25% scratched...

Well, tomorrow afternoon I am looking forward to participating in an i-MiEV focus group. They are looking to see why I did not buy one (even after ordering one)... An i-MiEV that is... It did not help that I live near the coast in the Los Angeles Area, and the closet dealer was in...

This seems like a dumb noobie question but I have to ask it... For the last two times charging, I wake up and the LEAF is at 100%, even though the charging timer is enabled. I made sure last night that the time was indeed enabled and set to 80%. Any ideas? This is something new. For what it...

EDIT: Went to Downtown Nissan and the experience was flawless. See post at end for my full comment... (Did a search but didn't see this covered). I am equidistant to Miller Nissan (Valley), Nissan of Downtown LA, and Power Nissan of South Bay. I need the battery check, and am slated for the...

So I searched and read this thread started August last summer and found it very helpful... Pointing out the new stations in Ventura, and indicating the Malibu stations I have already used... http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5437" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

The New York Times has an interesting article on Phil's EVSE upgrade, and Gary's SOC meter; written by Bradley Berman.... Makes one feel happy to have the EVSE upgrade running in good stead here... (did a search so hope this isn't redundant). Article...

Searched and read the manual, but I am unclear... Does anyone know how to have the defroster run in the car while tethered to a charger at a certain time in the morning two days a week. I have a short drive, and it would be great to have a nice defrosted windshield, and can't seem to easily...
