The 2014 SL is identical with the 2013 SL. Only the cheaper Leafs have some additional features from the SL.

Leaf 6.6kW can already today charge in 15min with the newest speed chargers. The default fast charge is still 30min in most public places. In France there is an electric bus which charges in 15sec using a new flash charge tech. I have used only standard home 220V/10A outlet so far, because it...

I heard that in Finland one guy got 220km (=137 miles) with his Leaf. My range estimation has never above 150km (=93 miles) because I have too much fun driving and winning traffic light acceleration races (for silent engine noise you get +50 style points) :)

I need to buy winter wheels for my Nissan Leaf Tekna 2013 (=SL). However I have a little problem, because I can't find any Goodyear or Nokia 17" wheels with spikes, and with 16" wheels I calculated that my ground space would be 1.02cm less, which might be critical when there is a lot of snow...

Actually I did search, but didn't find any L1 generator thread. The other one was talking about a trailer with a generator and the other one about L2 generator. L2 generator would of course be nice, but I think they would be too big and too heavy to be carried regularly on longer trips around...

Ok, good to know that I need to check for a sine wave type generator. Exhaust is no problem since I would just carry the generator outside of the car when running it. But theoretically if charging takes 12h to 100% (=250km@60km/h), then charging for 1h could already give 40km range (since...

I wonder if a portable 230V/9.5A 2200W generator can be used to charge my Nissan Leaf Tekna. It would fit perfectly in the trunk of the car (47cm/60cm/47cm, 44kg), so I would have no range limits if it would work. It looks like the electricity output is similar to my home electricity (230V/10A)...
