    Help cracked 3rd brake light

    Hi, Leaf is so far so so, don't get me wrong, I love the car. I drive 60-70 miles a day up two pretty steep hills by the time I get home it's pretty dead. If we go out after work to dinner we have to take another car. I'm looking at the BMW i3 or a tesla after this lease. Maybe by the end of my...

    leave cooling on while going into store

    Hi all, Is there any way to leave the climate control on while running into a store or other short periods IE 30 mins max? So far I've been either leaving it on and locking the doors, which makes me nervous because I believe you could break in and drive off. Or I've been using the nissan app...

    does hardwire wattstation lose less electricty vs plug in?

    Hi All, Just wondering if the hardwired version of the GE wattstation has less loss of power than the plug version, all else being equal, placement length of wire etc. I assume that the plug in one has some "leakage" but was wondering if it was very little as not to make a difference. I ask...

    Electric bill cost for the leaf?

    Even if a Prius with more options is equal to a leaf in price the prius is still better in a milage and usage sense. At about the same cost of electricty (in Hawaii) you get a car with more options, better resale, (probably) no battery issues no range issues. BUT... If I was only looking to...
