    what a great "hood"!

    I only had my LEAF a few short months and what I found quickly is we LEAF owners are in a "club"! The pearly white from the smiles I see when greeting other LEAF drivers on the bi-ways warrants extra strength Ray Bans. I had a treat Saturday meeting JeremyW in the parking lot at PetSmart this...

    Understanding the EV haters

    simply put...it is just plain ignorance! It seems that there are too many people that don't realize that they "don't know what they don't know"! I picked up a LEAF for purely economical reasons...never once considered it "political"...however, this conservative, right wing guy was quite...

    "Trickle charging is not recommended for regular use."

    I was reading through the Owner's Manual and it states that "Trickle Charging is not recommended for regular use". This concerns me in that I use trickle charge 5 times a week at the office. Can someone tell me why Nissan says it isn't recommended? Am I doing something that will negatively...

    Randy3 the house is E6. I was a little nervous about the "time of use" rate and elelected to go the solar flat @ $0.13 cents a kw hour until we get some history. I was told the time of use is locked for a year but we can change the flat to time of use at any time. Any thoughts? Now I need to...

    I am proud to announce I am now the owner of a 2012 Pearl Nissan LEAF!! I am LOVING it!!! Unfortunately I must have been too excited and I think I screwed up the registration for the CarWings. I was using the iPad and I must have plugged in an erronious email and user name. Doesn't recognize...

    Thanks for the link. My son will be getting the 2002 QX4 and I will trade him on the days I have to go to Reno in the winter and trade with the wife and drive the YukonXL for other longer trips. It looks certain that we will be saving $1000s in electric bills with the our new solar home with a...

    Update...the Nissan dealership is going to let me take the LEAF out for a spin for 3-4 hours tomorrow to see first hand the drain from the commute. There is also a possibililty I can have a 220V line dropped in the back of the office which I believe will give me L2 charging capabilities. The...

    $$ savings is one of the many pros...I am currently driving a Yukon XL and feel like I can cover the lease payment with the gas savings alone. Two outlets in the back of our building so trickle charging is virtually guaranteed but less than 75mph in the HOV...darn! ...not sure if my lead foot...

    As I mentioned before you guys are awesome! Thank you for your feedback! If I decide to pull the trigger I will definitely lease. I like the fact that the incentives are handled by Nissan and taken up front. This may solve the battery degradation concern...I could possibly hand off to one of my...

Never felt EV's were ready for prime time however the folks who were in the home we are moving in to have a LEAF and are leaving their L2 charger installed in the garage.
