    24 month battery check / maintenance?

    I recall doing the battery check at 12 mo. and seem to recall something about it being an annual requirement to keep up the warranty. Is that correct? If so, assume I just call the service department and schedule the 24 mo. battery check. Of course, they will want to schedule everything else...

    Communication About Charging Station at Work

    Hoping to get some help here. I think I've done the hard part. I convinced my employer to get the Landlord to install a charging station during our last lease negotiations. We have 2 floors of a 4 floor building with some reserved parking spaces. I negotiated a 1 stand, 2 cord Clipper Creek...

    Ding Drivers Side Rear (thanks to 18 yo son)

    Any guess whether this can be fixed without replacement (i.e., suction, etc. like they do with some hail damage)? I don't think it creased the steel in any locations. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29846854/Leaf%20Damage.jpg

    Scathing Objection to Settlement

    Article linked below provides a scathing objection lodged in the settlement. Interesting position held by the objector. :) http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/nissan_leaf_owner_alex_kozinski_is_scathing/?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly_email"...

    DC Charging Standards

    Am I correct in understanding that there are 3 different DC plugs? Leaf has CHAdeMo, SAE has one and isn't Tesla's proprietary? Without references to VHS/Beta and the Tower of Babel, is there a possibility of an adapter or something similar to allow universal charging? If so, that would...

    7,500 mile check

    Just got notice from my dealer to bring the LEAF in for a 7,500 mile check. When I asked what all was involved and how much it cost, they advised that it included a required battery check to maintain the warranty (and that it would have to be charged to full whilst in the garage so either bring...

    Charging Stations at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati

    Article & story in the link below. Progress is SLOW, but seems to be happening. My question is whether anyone has parked at these chargers during a Reds game? If so, what is the parking fee? It is far enough away that the increase above the usual $4 per day should not be significant, but...

    Can I do it? 41075 to 46032 & back

    Assume I start with 100% charge and have (virtually) no restrictions on time or route, can I get there? Infrastructure in Cincinnati area is a barren wasteland. Infrastructure in Indy is a plentiful cornucopia (including at least 3 QCs and 1 VERY close to 46032)

    Remote Stop Charging?

    Is there any way via Carwings or any of the apps to STOP charging whilst plugged in? I know you can START charging remotely from the apps and START climate control the same way, but I can't seem to figure out a way to STOP charging. Situation is this -- car is set to charge to 100% MON - FRI...

    LEAF Spotted in Cincinnati

    Spotted my 1st LEAF "in the wild" in Cincinnati yesterday. I was Southbound on I-75 and it was Northbound near Tri-County. Too quick for me to honk or wave. Pretty cool!!

    Help with FAQ/Fact Sheet for my efforts to get charging

    I would like to "lobby" my employer, the Landlord ("LL") where I work, the City where I work and the City where I live to install L2 charging stations. What is the best way to go about this? I don't think any of these make sense for "retail" options (Blink, Evgo, etc.), but maybe I am wrong...

    I have a VIN. Now what?

    Leasing and have been told to expect delivery w/o 8.31 (not sure why a w/o date begins on a FRI?). Asked for, and received, the VIN from the dealer. What can I do with this information, if anything? Can I find out where the car is? Can I find out if it is scheduled to be delivered? Can I...

    Follow my Negotiations (suggestions welcome)

    Just talked to the dealer I have been working with. Asked how he wanted to handle negotiations now that I am ready to see if I can make it work. He said to put it in an E-mail and he would review. (Much of our discussions have been this way.) My E-mail is below. I will let you know when he...

    How to calculate electric usage & cost?

    DISCLAIMER: Considering leasing, so I don't have full access or understanding yet. A - How do I get "wall to wheels" electric consumption to charge the LEAF? I assume you can use the Avg. kWh/mile reported by LEAF to determine how many kWh have been consumed. E.g., if LEAF is reporting 4.5...

    Extended Test Drive -- Suggestions?

    Picking up a '12 Leaf from the dealer I have been working with today at lunch. He says "bring it back tomorrow or Wed." He allowed me to do an overnight a coupla months ago, but the wife didn't get to drive or even see it. Anything I definitely SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do to put the LEAF...

    KY Leafs?

    Anyone else in KY own / thinking about a Leaf? I am unaware of any incentives (rebates, sales tax avoidance, L2 charging station at home, HOV lanes [I don't think there are any in KY], etc.) for purchasing / leasing a Leaf. Seems like a Commonwealth as heavily influenced by coal production...

    Is Leaf right for me?

    Very interested in a Leaf, but not sure I can justify the "premium" for owning an EV. Here is my situation: 4 person family. 3 cars currently. Daughter is taking 2003 Mini Cooper to college with her in the fall. That will leave 3 people & 2 cars (3 year old Honda Odyssey for the wife & 10...
