We need a topic where people can post a comment or bit of news that doesn't really need a topic of its own. In this case, my news is that, after ten plus years of driving Leafs, I have finally installed a L-2 charging station. It's a Clipper Creek HCS (or maybe LCS - I forget) 25, meaning it's...

Nisan regularly sends emails to people with late model Leafs, trying to get them to pay for the initially free premium features of Nissan Connect. Today's email crosses a line, however. Under the heading "Stay Cool This Summer!" it mentions remote climate control access, and strongly implies...

As I've written here often, I lease a 2021 leaf SV40, and my housemate leases a 2020 Leaf SV+. When she leased it, I was able to get her a very high trade-in value for her ailing Prius PHEV, so the car has, essentially, a very large down payment attached. That was ok with us, as the plan was to...

Welcome. You need to check the build date on the driver's side door sill sticker. If it is before April of 2013, then run - don't walk - away from the car. The reason is that pre-April 2013 Leafs have batteries that look the same as later ones, but use the old, terrible 2011-2012 battery...

I'm sorry, but as far as I know the Soul EV won't be sold in the US again until 2022 or 2023 - if then.

I picked up my 2021 SV 40kwh Leaf with Tech and Protection packages last evening, and drove it home about 25 miles. This time I once again chose Brilliant Silver, primarily because this car had the best combination of price and features locally available, but also because my 2013 Leaf was this...

My three year lease is coming to an end. I just found out today, speaking with a not-very-great NMAC Rep, that I can request - next month - a 3 month extension until the Ariya's release date. In my case that's August 1st. Has anyone else looked into any end of lease offers, discounts, etc? I'm...

I'll have to turn in my 2018 Leaf SL next year. I may try for a lease extension to let me drive her through the Summer, but by next Fall we'll be down to one car. My health issues may well have ended my driving career by then, but if not I may not be happy without my own car, or at least access...

If a similar topic exists I apologize - I can't think of or find one. Anyway, I will start things off with two contributions: one tip and one trick. * The Gen I and Gen II Leafs can use the same car covers. This may well vary by brand, but the lined cover with mirror pockets that I bought from...

This has been one of those days. Things weren't going great because I had to get up hours early to go get blood drawn for routine tests. I left a little early, but traffic was pretty bad on part of the route, so I took a shortcut through a shopping center. And got broadsided, albeit at low...

So you mean that the door closes properly and latches properly, but the car informs you that it is ajar?

In this case, Sagebrush. It isn't like him to go this long without posting. I hope that things are going ok for him. Does anyone know if he is still posting elsewhere?

I'm surprised to not see a conversion topic here, as there are some nice ones out there, and many interesting ones. Here is an Australian conversion of a Prelude 4WS manual shift to a 24kwh, 60kw EV. There is a video of a drive in the first post. This topic is meany for one-off conversions so we...

https://insideevs.com/features/375199/ev-cheapest-us-lease-deal/ This is pretty great if you need a new EV with modest range. Pay for a Smart EV, get an Ionic EV! This is for the Base, as noted. The Limited has been similarly discounted, according to the piece I linked. The down payment on...
