I was counting on my service cost would be lower for the Leaf than a ICE. A few months ago I took my Honda in for a 30k service and it cost 184. But Premier Nissan of San Jose cost of 30k service with nothing else was 189.

It is embarrassing that California which has the most EV cars is lagging in CHAdeMO chargers. We have 3 fixed chargers in CA (not it Northern CA) with only 2 public available, and three portable CHAdeMO's but none public at this point. There are 13 states that have CHAdeMO chargers installed...

I have had the Feb 2012 s/w update and still have the problem. all 5 times that I saw it was just after pushing the OK button about 30 secs or min later switching from drive to eco mode all of sudden i see the screen go blank and the startup screen and chimes occur. I think that probably...

Yesterday while driving I saw the screen go blank and then restart with the e and No Emmisions screen (no loss of power, just the screen). Since then I have no CarWings. I have the icon on the screen showing CarWings with the / thru it and it is not communicating. I thought it was only my...

Mark Perry is skewing his data. He is looking at what we are driving now. Not what some of us would drive if the car would go further. Most of us drive less than 70 miles a day because on the freeway we can't get much more. And we are talking multiple hours to recharge. For me I drive my...

I found that caring only has Nissan dealers ( which most of the time full with new of service cars) and municipal charges ( which are most likely some kind of charge such as parking or use fees). Charge point and Blink only have chargers in their network. PlugShare has a lot of residential but...

The Blink charger basically just works. When first installed the wifi didn't work because the 802.11g has less distance than the 802.11n so my iPhone could see the wifi but Blink could not. I extended my network to the otherside of the wall from the charger and it started working. Except when...

3.3kw is wimpy. we need to tell Nissan to upgrade the software chip and upgrade the wire to handle at least 6.6kw. Adding a large capacitor could help even though it won't handle the charge long (less than 24 hrs) but should charge quickly. Will also need a new software. I'd pay 4k for a...

Operating at 20-21 mph in Eco w/ no a/c or fan starting w/ 100% I got 119 miles w/ 5 miles left. I noticed that as the battery temp went up the less milage. I don't think you can get above 145 miles on a charge w/o reducing the battery temp.

My local Costco removed the EVSEs last week. I politely asked about it and was told they were out dated. They are looking into replacing with new one away from the buildings. In a separate note Walgreens anounced last week that they will be installing J1772's at all stores by the end of 2012...

Computer not accurate. Started out at 103 in ec w/o a/c went to 118 in 12 miles. Stopped and did my thing. Started again with 108 miles in ec/ Within 4 miles went to 83 miles turned on fan dropped to 73 miles. This is all on flat land avg 40 mph. Outside temp went from 70 to 83. What a...

The First couple of days I saw twice "Visit Dealer" and the "Brake" was flashing. I took it in on Monday and after looking at it said the code was the parking break actuator overheating. If it continues they will look into it.
