I didn't buy a Leaf for long distance travel. When the Leaf was new, 2011, out of range trips were not possible. In 2013 I noticed that a trip between Nashville, TN and Chicago might be possible. I used Plugshare and Google Map to check distances and confirm charger locations. Since I do bicycle...

Hey, a meetup would be great. I drove the Leaf up to Chicago for the Summer(2 day trip). The QC stations up here are in limbo. The company(350 Green) that installed the QC went bankrupt & was bought up by CarCharging. But the details are still in front of the judge so broken QC stations are not...

I have had my Leaf about 2 years. I am pretty use to going 3/4 of range, charging & returning locally. I am based in Nashville where there are plenty of public chargers. I thought I would see if it was possible to go about 500 miles to Chicago. 2 years ago that trip would have been impossible...

My Leaf is doing fine after 9800 miles. I did have a brake sensor go bad last month. Brakes acted sporatically & some warning lights came on & stayed on(BRAKE, ABS, VDC, etc.) It took the dealer a couple tries to locate the problem. All is fine now after sensor replacement. My batteries are OK...

Sorry I won't be able to make any June dates for a meet-up. Hey on the QC front I have been using the QC station at CB Stewarts Ferry. Only one port is operating but it does work. fishfool

CWO4Mann I feel your frustration. I have tried to Q charge there myself with no success, ever. I have been sending Ecotality photos of broken QC stations since the "EV Driving in TN" event. At that meeting we were told that all QC stations are working along the interstates in TN. I sent one of...

When the charging timer is on in the Leaf there is a setting for charging limit either 100% or 80% this setting applies unless the immediate charge button on left side of dash is activated. That is why most owners don't use the timer program on their home Blink chargers, it's hard to know what...

I would suspect that you may have a problem with the LEAF CHARGING TIMER. Maybe it has to be set off. I would compare experiences but none of the QC stations around Nashville are working. I quick charged back in November and it went up to 80%. I had the Leaf timer set to 80% on that charge...

Anyone interested in a meetup at the Meat & 3 Food Truck gathering: Some of the food trucks for Friday will be Hoss" Load Burgers, Deg Thai, Yayo's OMG, Smoke Et Al, etc. If you want to learn about the food trucks go to: nashfoodtrucks.com. When the weather is a problem the food trucks gather...

I emailed Paula to save a seat for me. It may be a non-event for Leaf owners, I don't know. I suspect this will be an opportunity to ask questions about the Blink network. Is anyone interested in a meetup at the Farmers Market on Rosa Parks this Friday(3/2)? This is a Food Truck gathering with...

I'm in for meet up. If we choose CB at Stewarts Ferry better check L3 status. As of last week Blink was waiting for a repair part for QC. :roll: If we need more L2 charging we could use Kohl's(3 - L2) on Lebanon Pike they usually have the most non-ICE'd pedestals.

Chicagoland Pioneers, I see some of y'all are taking delivery, Horay for your patience. I am a Chicago native. My leaf is in Tennessee. I noticed a question about Chargepoint a while back. I have a Chargepoint RFID even though the area where I use the Leaf only has one public charger on the...

Let's face it Blink has a flaw in the QC software/hardware design. When 3 of the 4 QC stations installed in the last 5 weeks are non functional. In fact if you look across the country you will have a hard time finding any QC stations that work regularly. The QC at Stewart's Ferry has been down...

Well, fellow pioneers it looks like we will be waiting for a reliable QC near Nashville for a little longer. I tried to plan a trip today around the CB QC station at Murfeesboro. I pulled up to the right QC plug it wouldn't read my card. So I swiped the left screen which popped up the zip code...

Glad to hear the QC in Murfeesboro & Manchester are up and running. I have used Lebanon & Stewart's Ferry for QC. I reported the down QC at Stewart's Ferry over a week ago. The one place where I have never charged is McDonald's, they are ICE'd every time I drive through. Luckily there is usually...
