I don't drive fast. I mean do the math and see how much faster you will reach a destination by going a little further. Not to mention the potential for tickets. Not really worth it. I just looked at a provided chart here. Looks like no more 60mph on the 55 freeway. heh

What does GID stand for? I was told I should be seeing around a 70 mile range with a 2013. Obviously there's a considerable amount of parameters to take into account with range. I can't imagine ever not driving in eco mode. I drive extremely conservative now. Unless the rare situation where...

I would be getting a JuiceBox and using the L2 charge feature.

What year is yours? 95.7 is all I'd expect out of a brand new one. I've only started reading about LeafSpy, but from a standpoint of buying one. I need to find a beginner guide for that app.

A friend of mine saw me over the weekend and wanted to talk to me about the posts he's seen me make on Facebook about the Leaf. He looked into them a bit as well, but I get the impression not nearly as much as me. He said that many of the used ones are only getting a 30 mile range. He told me...

If my shift starts early enough I might just drive out there instead of take the rail. It's a 40 mile round trip. Fairly flat and not all that high of speed. 55 tops. That's plenty of range to do things after work and make it home. I called the city about why there's no charging station there...

One of my draws to this car is the fact I just finished my degree in renewable energy technology. PV+EV = hawt. So check this out... I've been driving by this car lot on my way to work with a bunch of Leafs (do you say Leafs or Leaves?) out front. I wasn't interested in used before, but going...

AV Network... This is the first I'm hearing of this. Perfect. QC meaning quick charge? I have a map of the northwest called the Electric Highway Map. It shows you all the stations with distance between them. There's plenty to go places even with a short range. If you've got the patience...

My insurance might be slightly high, but $15 /month doesn't make sense to me. I have a clean record, have had current insurance for years, don't have renter/homeowner, single car, single 36 year old guy. I even have an agent who looks around to get me the best deal. She's even gotten me better...

I'm really thinking 2013 now.... Ya know, I can drop my $2,000 cash down and finance the thing. Then sell my current car at full market value when I find a buyer. Then have my Leaf paid off in less than a year. I was downtown Portland the other day with a friend. There's a free charging...

I need to buy equipment if I want L2 at home or to extend L1 or L2 (meaning length of cable). What happens if I'm driving to the coast and I need to charge on the way (which would be the case in a 2013) and the station is being occupied? People just wait? That seems like it might be a thing on...

QC CHADEMO port? I was looking at getting an L2 charger for around $300. Then I was also looking at extension cords. I like options, but having all the stuff needed for each scenario will cost quite a bit.

I'm going back on the buying a 2013 model with cash now. It just seems like a bit of a gamble on how these cars might hold up, but it's seeming they are fairly reliable. All the research I've done has been on the 2017 models. I don't know much on the older ones. I'll likely make a post about...

It does sound good to own a car after two years... What do you think. That extra $10k as a good idea or not?

The incentives are not as good on the SV. It's a more expensive car with less off. I like the app control and the wheels are better, but whatever. That's not worth it to me for the SV.

That's probably enough range for most of my needs. I mean it is enough for most of my needs. 260 days (work days) of the year I only commute 26 miles a day. I've mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but it's getting long now. But if these make such a good used car, then the newer ones will...

Great response. The battery issue I recall reading was from the newer models. I would love to buy a used one, but that range. What are they getting in real world conditions? They are rated at 84, right? I based a recent trip (I posted about here) on a car with a 90 mile range (to be on the...

I'll probably put enough down to get my payments under $300. It was mentioned that the batteries have shown to be somewhat problematic? Losing bars? It's really tempting to buy one used, but I want a longer range than what they have.

My reason is to have a lower monthly payment. I'm not really a guy who needs to have fancy things and this car might be a tad much for me, but with the job I'm planning on getting it's affordable. I've considered just buying a used car and owning it, but then there's the factor of it...

You're saying to take my down payment money and hold on to it to use as monthly payments on the car? As in risk you mean if I wreck the thing? So if I put $2,000 down my monthly payment would be around $270. It seems as if most of my concerns are concerns that would be there with...
