For a number of reasons my work truck wasn't available today so I was driving the Leaf to get my work done and needed to buy some paint for a project. Stopped by the local place and they asked how I was going to get everything home.... All told, I had 8, 5 gallon paint cans in the Leaf today...

Well, I did it. Forgot to plug in my car after a midnight run for some ice cream. Got back home and didn't connect the charger and this morning got into the car with 39% remaining battery... I tried to find a way to alert me that the car isn't connected to the charger but don't see anything...

Yesterday I noticed that the car clock on the dashboard isn't matching the one in the LCD center display. It looks like I can 'adjust' the LCD display clock to kind of match the one on the dash but why don't they just synchronize by themselves? Any hot tips on how to improve this?

Before I plug in at night I try to remember to reset the trip odometer. That way, the next day when I drive I have a more realistic sense of how far I've driven and can probably go. I've found that the range meter can be pretty inaccurate and knowing the distance driven has been helpful for...

From today's Los Angeles times: http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-0418-autos-coda-20110418,0,2489181.story Kate Spade, Tiffany & Co. and Louis Vuitton — tony retailers at the Westfield Century City mall — are getting a new neighbor, but it won't be another fancy brand. In an unusual...

One of the more annoying things about the Leaf to me is that I must be fully stopped in order to use the phone dial pad or navigation system. Is there any workaround? What if I have a passenger in the car and they want to use the navigation system? Seems that some one decided it's safer to...

I know that we've got a huge ecotality test market in Los Angeles, there are a number of leaf's on the road here and in general, we have an EV friendly city. My question is Where are all the public charging stations? The only ones that my car shows are at local Nissan dealers. Not having...

I'm in the happy position of receiving a new car in the near future but have found that the 7 day to dealer email was completely incorrect. I received it 14 days ago and the dealer has still not received the car. Any one with a similar situation? My dealer is 20 miles from the port and they...

I'm taking delivery of a Leaf in the next month and want to buy a Level 2 charger. Other than the AV system, can I actually buy a Level 2 charger? I don' t see a way to buy a Blink, Leviton has no info at the local electrical supply shops and GE's vaporware is simply that.

I can't seem to find the answer with a couple of searches so posting a new topic. I'd like to buy a spare Level 1 charger to leave at my office in a ready to use state. Is there an option yet to buy one?

From what I can see here: http://www.geindustrial.com/products/static/WattStation/ the GE system looks like a winner to me. Has anyone seen any design mockups of a wall unit yet? My order for the car is in and I'm a dedicated buyer. From what I've read so far, there are a number of options...
