So my leaf was rear ended at a traffic signal. Dropped it off at the local auto body and got a call back after a few days stating that they got approval to repair at ~$4500 from the other drivers ins company. After a few more days I received a call from insurance total loss department stating...

So I came back to my 2013 Leaf today after it had completed charging at a chargepoint station, and after pulling away, noticed that the EV System warning light + battery light were illuminated. The car started and drove as usual. I drove it about 1/2 mile to my work parking lot and shut the car...

So I was recently reviewing my insurance renewal policy and my 2013 SL has the highest premium of all my vehicles. The 6 month premium through Progressive is $1651 (or $275 a month). That's with comprehensive and collision and a $2500 deductible. That constitutes half of my policy costs with...

For the past two days, I've noticed a hum coming from under the hood which starts to ramp up at 55mph and ramps down at 60mph. It's not terribly loud at all, and sounds like driving over the grated section of a bridge. I've owned it for about 8 months, has 41,500 miles now, probably owe about...

I got home tonight from errands with about 25% battery left and plugged in my L2 charger at home to do a on-demand charge to 80%. Hit the button in the car to start the charge and didn't hear the familiar beep and click. Went over to the CC to find both the Power Fault and Charging Fault lights...

I've never purchased a car with this credit, but with my solar tax credit, I just put the numbers into the tax form and didn't really have to provide any proof of purchase. I bought my leaf used and was thinking the other day of how I could find out if a federal tax credit was collected for a...

So I had to make a long run in my leaf today and decided I needed to stop at one of the EVgo QC stations to make my range. I've only used QC once and that was when I purchased the car and was driving it home. I plugged in the car , SOC at 38%, and went to the local shopping center to kill...

After months of ownership, I think I've settled into my driving routine by now. I regularly shift between modes throughout my drives. On commute days, although I have a good buffer for my drive, I still try to get the most out of my drive as far as economy and range, so mode changing is rampant...

Due to a sick child, I called out of work today and forgot my leaf was timed to charge to 100% this morning. It stayed at 100% until about 8pm (Doh!). When I went to get dinner, I realized what I had done and decided to bring the battery down to something reasonable to sit overnight at. With...

So I've been shopping for a used 2013/14 leaf for the past week. Financing one would cancel out my current fuel costs, so it would be a wash financially each month. I've noticed a number of people doing purchases where they are claiming $10k off MSRP AND the $7500 fed credit and $2500 CA...

So I went for a test drive on a loaded 2013 Leaf SV today. 24k 11/12 bars showing. Manu date of 04/2013 on the door plate. Drove over an hour to see the car only to have problems with LeafSpy. Disclaimer: As of a week ago I had never head about LS, but thanks to this forum and it's outstanding...

So in preparation for my new leaf, Im planning to use the Clipper Creek HCS-40P with the NEMA 14-50 plug to avoid having to install a disconnect in my garage. My main panel is outside and I plan on installing the NEMA outlet on the garage wall on the internal side of the wall. In the attached...

So I'm getting rid of my 99 Acura TL, due to a slowly dying tranny and oil leak, and would like to purchase a EV. Since I have solar at home, and am really done wrenching on used cars, a co-worker suggested a used leaf as the financing would pretty much be a wash with the gas/maint of my current...
