    Rumor: Leaf 2017 to get 40kWh

    To be fair, I would not consider the lack of mentioning the base model getting the same battery size as something that would be earth shattering or a major breakthrough and something to discredit his knowledge. Even Nissan did not make a big deal about the S getting the same battery as the SV...

    Rumor: Leaf 2017 to get 40kWh

    This is all very interesting about the rumored 40 kWh LEAF for '17. I wish it was true. I've got a '13 and I'm on a 12 month lease extension as of last June. When I did the extension, I was hoping that Nissan would not get a big black eye and not allow Chevy to be the first over 200 miles...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I just called since our '13 lease is up in June. They said there was a discount of $6,000 off of residual which is up $1,000 from last month, however, I have no interest in buying the car. I really wanted to know about lease extension possibility. They said that I could make a 12 month...

    Nissan Leaf Car cover?

    After much research, I bought a CoverCraft 4 layer premium car cover that is form fitted to the LEAF with a front flap for charging, antenna pocket, side mirror pockets and locking security cable. But before it arrived I was given the use of a garage so I never even took the cover out of the...

    16-year-old gets first driving lesson in LEAF - Funny

    My LEAF had to go to the dealer for some work and they gave me a high end Nissan gas car as a loaner and it was the weirdest experience. I'm certain it was one of their best but it was loud, vibrated when idling and felt really slow on accretion. My thought was, "why would anybody drive one of...

    Announcement: Plugshare and Recargo Merge

    Recargo was a decent site before the merger. Now it is not reliable. As just mentioned, you could once filter the search results. for instance, if you wanted to check for J-plug chargers only or Quick Charge only or any combination you could do so. They dropped that feature for some dumb reason...

    Best insurance companies for Leaf owners (GEICO a RIPOFF)

    We have Amica and the adding of the LEAF did make a substantial increase. In fact about 50%. We are in the $1,400 a year range for two people in the L.A. area with clean records. Seems really high to me but they have a good reputation. Thankfully we ave never had to file a claim. However, would...

    Auto self-locking door

    Planet4Ever correctly corrected me. I was able to do the procedure and you can make the doors stop from auto locking. If you lock the car or the passenger locks the car and you have the car in drive or park and they want to get out they have to unlock the door. I'd like it to unlock when the...

    Car Cover?

    I ended up getting a custom fit CoverCraft from AutoBarn. They were less that buying it directly from CoverCraft and they had an online coupon. CoverCraft does not want to undermine there dealers so they charge a higher price. Took about 2 1/2 weeks to get it because they special make them for...

    Fog Lights without Headlights??

    I don't know that this is a correct interpretation of the California law. The statute that is quoted regarding fog lamps uses the words, "substitution of headlamps." There is no law requiring the use of headlamps in the day, therefor, the use of fog lamps during the day would not be considered...

    Who has had an EV Error light on The 2013??

    I got it right after a DC Fast Charge to 80% at the dealership. It was a Sunday so nobody there knew anything about it. Restarted car twice and on the second restart it went away. Have not done another Fast Charge since then, but have done several L2 charges to 100% with no light.

    Auto self-locking door

    I've got a 2013 and the manual indicates that the auto-UNlock can be deactivated by holding down the unlock button for 5 seconds. This only means that when the car is tuned off, you must manually unlock the doors. This does not help those, like me, that want to keep the doors from auto-locking...

    Car Cover?

    CoverQuest.com has no option for choosing a LEAF in the drop down menu or when you put "leaf" in the box.

    "Clean Get Away" Nissan of Downtown LA Quick Charge EVent

    A DC fast Charge out in the open, at least for LEAF drivers, is great. We are so behind on these being installed. Great to see Nissan of Downtown Los Angeles doing this!
