    Car Wraps

    looks okay, I'm sure you have it planned but headlights needs some black housing, and tail-lights some tinting to complete the look imo. And I'm sure your waiting for someone to make springs/coilovers so you can lower it too.

    Side airbag location in seat back?

    page 15 of digital owners manual; http://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/nissan/pdf/techpubs/leaf/2011/2011-leaf-owner-manual.pdf 11. Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags (P.1-37) Looking at the Wet Okole seat cover group buy thread, the bag actually looks lower.

    Exterior Charge Port Quick Release

    +2 Pics please. I can picture what you did, but I don't have my leaf yet to try this on. If hopefully I'll have it soon, then I can post pictures.

    What is that amber light?

    ambient/mode light? if it turns on when headlights are on, that may be it. Sorry, don't have a leaf to play with yet, so not sure.

    Mwalsh and LEAF invade LAX

    Good point, wouldn't want to be stuck with a surprise bill when leaving the terminal, better safe than out of of money. But to tell you the truth, I think there is no tracking of where you park in the structure. The license plate look up occurs when you enter I think. Also just noticed no...

    Mwalsh and LEAF invade LAX

    If you aren't charging, park in a normal spot away from all the chargers. No reason to park in an electric space. Just make sure its either Lot 1 or 6. The attendants don't know where you park while you are there, to get your free parking.

    RV towing/regen

    just saw that article on jalopnik also, seems like you can charge fairly quickly regenerating at 20-30 kW. Though I wonder how much load this really puts on the tundra? Also wouldn't like the idea of that tow rope snapping at speed.

    Changing of wheels (Offset)

    http://www.wheelwarehouse.com/p-2717-volk-racing-wheels-vr-g2-formula-silver.aspx Volk Racing G2 in Formula Silver. Sorry, I can't tell you what size they are, the media photos aren't clear enough to read the tire ratios. [edit] actually, I can make out that they are 18 inches.

    Changing of wheels (Offset)

    from the bridgestonetires website; stock Ecopia EP422 205/55R16 can be mounted on 5.5-7.5" wide wheels. So at 16x7", you're good

    Irvine Metrolink chargers

    Might want to call the city and ask if they plan on replacing them. I'm sure they're on someone's list. http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp

    Spare Tire Carrier

    Assuming that is the back of an Leaf wheel, than yes. You can see the Enkei stamping on the lower left corner spoke. Enkei actually makes a lot of the cast OEM wheels for Japanese vehicles. The Leaf wheel specifications 16 x 6.5 with +40 offset.

    Spare Tire Carrier

    If you are looking for an aluminum spare, search for the Mazda RX-7 spare tire. Made by Enkei, 5x114.3 pattern T135/70D16. Only thing I'm not sure of is the hub bore for the wheel and load rating.

    owners manual for this one; http://www.nissanusa.com/apps/techpubs?model=Nissan+LEAF&year=2011 Page EV-3 (26) 1 month should be no problem. edit: missed what Jason wrote 2 post above, but what he said.

    End of HOV Lane for Hybrids; More Room for Leaf

    I don't see anything wrong with allowing single occupancy vehicles in the HOV lane if they meet the criteria. The Clean Air Stickers were setup as a non-momentary incentive for people to buy expensive economy cars. (minus the roadster, which is an expensive sports car) With the premium that...

    Exact wheel size and aftermarket wheels

    Also, most plus sized tires of the same model will weigh more. Searching tirerack for a lrr in sizes 205/50r17 or 215/45r17 shows tires ranging from 20-24 lbs. But imo, plus sizing sure looks better.

    Main thread for http://electric.carstations.com

    nice site so far. I've been looking at the map, and noticed all the Nissan dealerships are listed. Has it been confirmed that ALL Nissan dealerships will get two AV EVSEs, or just the dealerships that sell the Leaf? Also, what about Chevy dealerships?

    Oil and filter Change Time

    For the smog check, i just filled out a Statement of Facts (REG 256) from the DMV for my hybrid and sent it in after I paid my registration online. I've never had a problem getting my registration stickers this way.

    Tax credit for EVSE question

    Thanks all for the reply. I was reading through the IRS documents, ARRA extends the 50% through 2009-2010 only, after that it should be returned to 30% and $1000. Am I reading that correct, and if so will it be extended?
