A friend just lost 3rd bar at 44,000 and 36 months in Orange County CA on his 2012 LEAF. How soon can the 4th be expected to drop and qualify for a new battery? I told him to park it in the sun ;)

What other options are there for an EVSE pedestal? I see Clipper Creek has the HCS-40 with a nice pedestal mount. http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/hcs-40-pedestal-mount-30a-240v-charging-25-cord-copy/ evchargesolutions.com has a decent pedestal...

Now that we know the cost of a new battery..... (perpetual $100 rental) Can we ever break even on the original battery? How low will we need to run the battery down in capacity to get to the break even? My primary option would have been to continue driving my F150 with all the gas and...

As I was in to get my 24 month battery check, I requested the dealer change my 2011 LEAF to unlock the doors when the Park button is pressed. I expected no other changes and stated so. OK so the doors unlock when Park is pressed but... As I then put it back in D and drive off the doors do not...

eco GOM says 30 miles. Four bars showing with a couple miles into the fourth bar. I need to go 30.5 miles mostly freeway with some 30mph traffic. Battery temp is top of 5 bars, almost 6. Just checked CW, 3 bars 27 miles. Moderate loss of elevation (100') but a steep ~200' rise at the end. Plan...

OK I have not seen this yet so here is my method: Lay the brick behind the battery Lay the coiled cord toward the front Insert J connector and lay the cord snug in the front corner along the weatherstrip Draw the extension cord same along the other side and close the hood Side view...

I had not read about this charging equipment supplier until today. Interesting that a dealer installed something besides AV. :lol: http://www.hartfordbusiness.com/news21145.html http://evse.controlmod.com/ Check out the power sharing: Installed between the circuit breaker and charger...

I understand at some point during regen braking the brake lights illuminate. I am curious when that illumination actually happens in relation to the number of regen dash bubbles that are lit on the dash. Any ideas?

Is there a speed sensitive volume adjustment for the nav voice? I prefer the voice to be on the low side. But if the radio is on the radio sound level drops but the nav voice is too soft especially at freeway speeds. If I turn the radio off I can hear it or on city streets I can hear the...

Ok so here is my idea for the day. Get a box that will accept the J plug to get power from the evse and have two or more J plugs extending out to multiple vehicles. Easy to charge two Leafs from a single 40a supply J plug. Any additional vehicles would need a signal to reduce the max...

Will Carwings keep some tally on how much power is drawn in for charging by location? Say I want to charge at work and could show how much was used from that location to reimbures once a month. Is that possible?

Leviton comes with a standard 18' charge cord with custom lengths available according to the marketing brochure. In the garage I probably need 4' to 6' as the LEAF will always park right there. If LEAF or a second EV is in the second spot I need maybe 12' to connect If LEAF or other EV is just...

OK I ordered Sep 29 and I still have the option to edit my color. Who has an earlier date and can still edit? I would like to track as people lose this option to estimate what order dates are entering production. I assume Nissan is still building the first five days of orders but lets see how...

I see Nissan has added more detail to the configuration with accessories etc. Nissan has also added a link to edit the car color. With so many changing their mind this looks like the easy answer. I am however staying with red. Anyone try the option? My delivery is still pending so I assume my...

Does Leaf power the traction motor while stopped for a light? Since the Leaf will roll on its own power (idle?) with the brake off I am curious if that power is provided to the traction motor with the brake peddle holding the car. Can Leaf be power braked? Apply power to the motor at the same...
