the dealership i had leased mine from (401 Dixie) can;t keep them in stock. Not all dealership locations carry them and those who don't i found did not want to refer me to who had one ( Brampton dealerships that is). the sales person i dealt with at 410 dixie was actually very knowledgeable...

I agree that it is slower, there are a couple L2 chargers that are free very close to me where i can stop for a coffee and charge for now. the L1 said 11.5 hours to charge last night but ended up doing it in 6.75 hours! I program it for 7pm to 7am as it is only 0.075 cents/kw at that time.

I got my leaf! Let me say that I LOVE this car!! I don't think I can go back to an combustion engine car after being in an electric. So, after 2 days of travel here is my charging experience: day 1 - pick up at dealer: 94% charge 119km range got home 74% charge 109 km range DID NOT CHARGE...

thanks for tall the replies and suggestions, here is my daily routine: 2015 leaf SV daily drive ~48km (workday), shopping etc is all close by 1-2 km and on the way home so no real extra distance if needing to stop charge 120v at home and at office - office 9-10:30 + 2:00-5:30 times for...

hi, I should be picking up my new leaf this week and was planning on charging it outside with the unit that came with the car at the office and home. seeing that the car will be parked and charged outdoors all the time (garage not an option) I was wondering if the charger that came with the car...

sorry, titan guard. yes it covers any dents, scratches, damage to cloth, rims etc. just drop off the car when lease is done

yes, i understand this. does it mean that the battery will charge better while driving/get a longer range if driving in "B" mode with in city? i.e.: 14km vs 120 km ?

Hi Everyone, i just leased a 2015 leaf sv and still waiting for delivery. I was curious, as it has the regular drive "D" and a "B" mode with greater regen power would it not be best to be driving in "B" mode all the time to get better regen and less charging/plugin ? just a thought.

thanks for the input, I was wondering if the L1 would be enough for winter! As I am renting I want to find the easiest way to do the L2, I was thinking to see if I could install a dryer outlet /220/240 v in the garage and then just use an extension to connect the leaf and L1 charger.

thanks for the reply, I was thinking to do as you suggested and put something over the charge port when snow is heavy etc. I currently only have an outdoor gfi 110v outlet close by that i was going to try to use or run an extension cord from inside the garage for the trickle charge. If i find...

Hi, I just leased a new 2015 leaf! metallic grey with a light tint, I liked the white but already have a white car so thought a different colour would be nice. I had a horrible experience with the nissan dealership in Brampton so went to 401 Dixie nissan and Anees, the salesperson who handles...
