Would something like this work well with the Leaf if I wanted an easy way to charge cell phones, etc. during an extended power outage (after an earthquake, etc)? http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-175W-Power-Inverter-ports/dp/B00D7HZTQI

Hi All, I currently lease a 2012 Leaf and I test drove a 2015 this weekend. Did they change the front windshield or pillars at all? It felt like I had less visibility, but I think it might be because the seat was adjusted way up (I didn't realize this was an option since the 2012 doesn't have...

Does anyone know why the 2012 gets a 'good' rating on the Moderate overlap front test, but the 2015 gets a 'poor'? I hadn't realized there was any significant difference between the two models. http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/nissan/leaf-4-door-hatchback/2012"...

Hello, my Blink EVSE from the EV Project gave me a red fault screen today. I restarted the unit and it still won't charge. I can't get the screen to get past the calibration screens because the touch screen stopped working months ago. Does anyone know what might cause this? Is there anything I...

I emailed Blink for support because my touchscreen no longer responds when touched. My unit works just fine otherwise. They sent me the reply below. Is it true that they project is over? I'm not interested in paying to have this repaired. Does this mean I can disable the unit and not have to...

I know it's totally silly, but I grew 5 trees a little while ago and thought I'd share. http://imgur.com/ll7fOwV has anyone else got 5 trees?

Does anyone know if it's common to have to fill out a W9 to get a solar referral bonus? I referred a friend and the company wants a W9 form (which I wouldn't care about except they want my SSN). Supposedly any referral bonus over $400 requires a W9.

How long does the Leaf have to be at the dealer for the yearly battery check? Can I just wait while they do it or do they need it over night? I got my Leaf in August 2012. Are there any software updates I should have them install?

It looks like the Kia Soul EV is getting closer to being released... http://www.plugincars.com/2015-kia-soul-ev-spotted-testing-california-testing-rapid-charge-technology-127682.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://insideevs.com/kia-soul-ev-spotted-photos/"...

Is there a trick to defrost the windows efficiently? I have to use the defrost a fair bit and it's using a lot more electricity than I'd like. Thanks! EDIT: I actually meant defogging, not defrosting. The Leaf sleeps in a garage so defrosting isn't an issue.

After looking at the Model S I had the following question... How is it that the Tesla can have enough free space that it has a trunk in the back and front, but the Leaf has a whole engine compartment full of stuff up front?

Does anyone know what the SL and SV versions stand for? I've un-officially called them the Super-Leaf and Standard-Version, but I'm wondering what they actually stand for.

We got our Leaf about a week ago and LOVE it. My daughter is just starting to learn to drive so when I found her a used EV (a little blue Jeep) at a good price I had to go for it. The range isn't the best, but that's okay since I don't want her driving that far anyway. Here is a picture of the...

Is it safe to use an extension cord on the standard trickle charger? If so how do I know which kind to purchase? I would love to be able to use a six foot extension cord.

So I have an unfinished garage that gets pretty darn hot in the summer (I live in Oregon so it's not too hot, but probably hotter than is good for an electric car). I'm wondering what steps I would need to take to keep it a reasonable temperature for a Leaf. Is installing a ventilation fan...

Does anyone know what the chance is of being able to replace the Leaf battery 8-10 years down the road? How about if you had purchased a Toyota Rav4 EV when it came out would it be possible to replace the batteries for it today? That might give me some indication of the possibility of...

Has anyone had any electrical issues? Our Leaf just melted an outlet in our garage pretty good. I'm glad it didn't start a fire.

I know this may be wild speculation at this point, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone have any sort of estimate of when the 2013 Leaf might be announced and when you might be able to get one if you waited for a 2013 model? Also If I were to reserve a Leaf today does anyone know what my...

I'm considering renting a Leaf for a month to see if it would work for us. We would only have the 110-volt charger. Am I correct in estimating that it would give me about 5 miles of driving for every hour it was charging? If so that would probably work just fine for our needs. Thanks!

I think the leaf needs a tail pipe attachment that shoots bubbles.
