For soldering the diode in, does one just need a regular soldering iron? Is that it? So they just snip the wire, attach the diode in the middle and solder it on? That's all that's required?

Well, I finally got around to towing it to the Nissan dealer I purchased it from and they said it's the onboard charger and stated that a replacement charger will be around $2,900. Sigh. What other options do I have here in Texas? Selling it out for parts to someone? Saying good-bye...

I plug it in, the charging timer is properly set, everything seems to be fine. The charging light (the blue one on the car) blinks a few times, then it makes the sound it usually makes when it stops charging. And it stops charging after just a few seconds when it should be charging for 3...

Bring in to me in sunny warm Texas and I'll drive it for you during mild weather! (Will drive my Leaf in hot weather)

Now nothing is happening. No warning light, no sound, nothing. I'll try to hook up the battery charger to the 12V battery and see what occurs. Wish me luck! If that doesn't work, should I just change the battery out myself? Is that relatively easy to do on the Leaf, as easy as on ICE cars?

I walked into the garage to run a quick errand in one of the ICE cars when I noticed the Leaf was not charging this morning when it was supposed to be. Something's off, my spidey senses tell me. I get in the car and the security indicator light (red warning light with a key inside) is lit up...

Oh, that's just unbelievable! So lucky. Wow.

I haven't logged in in a long time & I'm actually amazed to see the new design of the site. However, I have to report that I had my 7-bar battery replaced today at Gunn Nissan of San Antonio, Texas with a 12-bar hot battery. I picked the car up with 6 bars of charge and I drove 46 miles with 7...

http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-electric-vehicle-sales-20140903-story.html Punny title aside, I wonder just how true this is. Tesla's Model X is coming out next year & Nissan Leaf 2.0 will follow that. The market may be slightly stagnant, but new models are coming out soon...

OP here. Thanks for the replies! I forgot to mention (I guess I believed it would be automatically assumed) that I had already discussed it with the building manager (or whatever his position was) months ago, if not years ago. This is a relatively newer building on a booming part of town and...

Okay, that title may be a bit harsh. I charge at a private workplace that is apparently managed by a property management company. I stopped in early this morning to charge and left the car before heading to the office. I had to head over to another office right next to where I parked the car...

For FWD, move the front tires back on the same side and the rear tires forward to opposite sides. Front tires get moved this way: l l Rear tires get moved this way: X

4BL here with 38,000 miles. Just hit that .7 miles ago. A quick question: is it recommended to call the NOGASEV hotline first before discussing anything with the dealership? Why is that? They're the ones who organize the battery replacements best?

Here in Texas, I've only gone as low as 4 bars, usually when the temperature has been hovering around freezing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VcGxOpDa1s&feature=share&list=UU-4FgtSEuSInqZ_F10eg4vw This occurred back on October 24. A great moment in the life of our Leaf! It's at almost 34k now, I think.

Wonder what happened to this Leaf. Anyone here wanna buy it? :) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2011-Nissan-Leaf-SL-Damaged-Rebuilder-RUNS-All-Electric-Only-19K-Miles-L-K-/200899886842?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2ec690fefa

http://www.woai.com/content/news/newslinks/story/Should-electric-cars-be-louder/oCYhMBREfEK0568gBn0vkg.cspx I absolutely didn't expect to see an article on electric cars in my local news, but here it is. Should electric cars be quieter? Or should cyclists & pedestrians pay more attention?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Call-Maurice-Walker-901-598-5377-/170939473435?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item27ccc95e1b This black 17.5k-mile Leaf in Memphis with all its bars remaining made me think: what's the highest-mileage Leaf with all bars remaining and where is it? I'm guessing Oregon or...

San Antonio, Texas. 2-bar loss here in 14 months.
