    Turning Over a New LEAF: My Response to a Lost Capacity Bar

    So, I am one of the Phoenician LEAF owners who lost a capacity bar after 10-1/2 months and 10,200 miles. Here's my proof: I remember first reading the threads and being in flat out denial. We almost always charge to 80%, never start a charge with a SOC above 80%, low battery warning only...

    LEAF and Volt Owner with a 2nd free Blink

    For my fellow LEAF and Volt owners (in eligible states), I had my 2nd free Blink unit installed this weekend for the Volt through the EV Project. I received my first free Blink for the LEAF back in 9/2011. Each car qualifies for a separate unit. So nice to have two of these units for each car...

    89 Miles in a Day for a LEAF and Volt Owner. Took the LEAF.

    With all this recent talk of capacity loss especially in Phoenix, AZ where I live, I thought I'd post a more positive story about a Phoenix LEAF. I had a lot of driving around to do a few days ago (Friday, 5/25 to be exact) and was anticipating about 50 miles RT. Although we did buy a Volt...

    My First Weekend as a LEAF and Volt owner

    I bought an orphan LEAF in 8/2011 and added a 2012 Volt to the garage this weekend.  We love the LEAF. My girlfriend mostly drives it and it serves her well for a 20 mile RT work commute and HOV lane access in AZ. I mostly bike to work, but we found ourselves both trying to drive the LEAF more...

    80% Charge only 9 bars?

    Hi all - So suddenly and just in the past couple of days when I charge the LEAF to 80%, it stops charging with only 9 bars. We've had the car since 8/2011. We charge to 100% maybe once every other month and have only QC'd once. We have a Blink EVSE and that timer is off. We have the LEAF...

    Carwings account deleted during my vacation?

    I hope someone here can help me out. I returned from an 8 day vacation a couple days ago for the first time with the LEAF. The LEAF just sat in my garage unplugged while away. While away, I would login a few times to check charge status via the iPhone app sporadically to check charge status...

    I have asked my Blink EVSE to be removed

    After repeated problems with my Blink EVSE I have asked out of the EV Project and for my Blink to be removed. I bought an orphan LEAF in 8/2011, then had the Blink EVSE installed in mid September. Ever since it was installed, the unit would only charge intermittently. I never set up a charge...

    Modified EVSE Charging Past 80%

    I have the EVSE level 2 upgrade and absolutely love it. So much faster than trickle... However, I'm having one issue. I always charge to 80% and I do get the Carwings notification that charging stopped at 80% or 10 bars each evening. However, when I get to the car in the morning, there are 11...

    Arizona Alternative Fuel Sticker

    I did a search, but could not find the answer either here or on the servicearizona website, but I just received my Alternative Fuel/Cloud license plate for my Leaf. In the envelope was this sticker: First, do I have to put that sticker on as well, or does the license plate suffice? Second...
