I put my stickers in the same spots. I tried to follow the lines of the car and it turned out ok, of course you will always look at one sticker and think "I wish I could do that one over" but overall it doesn't really matter cause I can drive in the carpool lane by myself now, I could have put...

So I ordered my personalized plates online, it shows the results on a small picture of what your plate will look like. I added a full space to center it on the little picture online which was a big mistake, I went to pick up the plates and it looked like a letter was missing, needless to say I...

Everytime I have tried Eco mode on the freeway I have got crappy results, I use it all the way to the freeway then I put it in "D", I also cruise control @ 65mph and get good results.

Open the hood and reach in behind where the light would end, you should feel the bulb holder, just twist to unlock (i think counter clockwise). Don't bother changing them, you can't really tell the difference because of the orange plastic and they are pretty low power bulbs. I've tried a few...

It didn't happen to my leaf for awhile, so I thought mine was going to be OK. The day I had my AV EVSE installed in my garage I left my Leaf outside, since it was in the heat all day I decided to use the climate control before going to work. I got in it and it wouldn't start, luckily I read the...

The bbc joke/song is from one of the austin powers movies. Btw where is Howard Stern, I thought xm and sirius merged, am I missing something?

28 miles each way total drive = 56 miles. To work = mostly downhill, home = opposite --Regular Drive-- 65mph or less To work = 12 miles To home = 53 miles Total = 65 miles (+9 miles) --Eco mode-- to work = 26 miles To home = 65 miles Total eco = 91 miles. (+35 miles) Reg--- to work 6 miles to...

I was there with an unrelated problem (although I mentioned this problem to them) and they were cool too me, my leaf was the 1st one there, everyone was flocking around it, it was pretty cool. I will be bringing my leaf back there for all of my services.

I guess im wrong about the battery size, regardless the results would be the same. 5 miles per kwh x 34 = 170, 34kwh x $.12 = $4.08 / $4 per gallon = 1.02, 170/1.02 = 166.66mpg. Also I know carwings is optimistic as far as miles per kwh just wasn't sure about the kwh's used, but I know the...

The Leaf has a 24kwh battery, when I picked up my Leaf I drove it 80 miles and I had 7 miles remaining or ---, I checked on carwings and it showed I used just under 18kwh of energy which would make it 19kwh of useable battery so 5 x 19 = 95. But this would'nt determine mpg, for that you would...

Thanks for your reply! I won't worry too much until I have more data on how much my usage will change, I usually produce more then I consume so time will tell. Thanks again!

EricH, seeing as you work for SCE maybe you would know, what would be the best plan to get on, schedule D, TOU-D-TEV, TOU-EV1? With or without solor?

I had it on eco mode the whole way, in the begining I had 20 more miles showing than it would take to get home so I caught myself going 70 a few times, then I turned on the climate control. After hitting a few big hills I was driving around 60-65 at the most and turned off the climate control...

No way! The best parts are "inspection wait time hours" @ $60 per hour for 4 hours, $240 to wait around? And my favorite, "travel time" @ $62.50 per hour for 12 hours for a total of $750! Is this electric company in a different state??

Skywagon, can you post pics of all the leds replaced? I want to see how they look from v-leds, color and brightness. Thanks!
