A few days ago in the podcast for Clark Howard, a person wrote in saying their car insurance had gone up exponentially. They had not made a claim. Upon talking to their agent, the agent admitted that OnStar had been reporting they're driving habits. If I remember right they also mentioned that...

In Texas we paid $400 for the first year and will pay $200 in following years. I have a 2018 Leaf, that I purchased new in 2018. It has 22k miles. I can't tell you what I drive annually, but it's not much. This tax bill is in place to discourage EVs...in my opinion.

We purchased my 2018 Leaf SL in May of 2018. I'm retired now so I don't use it for commuting just for errands and grocery shopping. I love my car (adaptive cruise control is life-changing!). We installed solar a year and a half ago and then batteries a year ago so the car gets charged by the sun.

Your Nissan sounds different than ours. My 2018 gets us 100 mile round trip to Austin. wekebu

Thank you! This worked.

You're welcome. Thank you for posting so we can all learn and be aware.

Just listening to a new podcast for me and the guy mentions this problem with his car (I think he's in Spain?). He starts talking about it at the 8:30 minute mark. https://ev20q.com/electric-car-charging-in-france/

We have a 2018 SL Leaf and were told several times that as a condition of the 96 month/100,000 battery warranty, we would be required to have the battery inspected. Here's how it's stated in my 2018 Leaf Warranty Information Booklet, page 9. (I added the bolding) "Maintenance, Data Access...

Yes, I can charge at stations, just my 24 month free to charge EZ-Charge card doesn't work. I don't think I'll charge away from home often, but wanted to try it out locally and get comfortable with it's use. Since the EZ-Charge card didn't activate, I signed up with Chargepoint and EVgo and...

Thank you! My hubby and I have been searching for this answer. I should have come here first :D

Well, the plot thickens. As it turns out, my dealership is not a participating dealership in the No Charge To Charge program. My card is useless. I've called the dealership yesterday and left a message for the guy above the salesmen (salesmen is on a prescheduled cruise). I've emailed...

Is the Leaf anywhere close to meeting the 200k limit for the $7,500 federal rebate? If so, how do I ensure that we get the rebate because we purchased before the limit was hit? In case I'm not clear, we purchased in May 2018. Say the limit is hit in Oct. The tax form does have purchase date...

@goldbrick @LeftieBiker thank you for clarifying this for me.

I received a card to register for 24 months free charging using the "no charge to charge" from Nissan. When I went to register today, EZCharge wanted my name, address, etc. Then it suggested that I preregister at several companies, like EVgo, blink, -chargepoin+. Those companies wanted my...

Jeeze, this post is concerning. I pick up my new Leaf within the next week. I live in an agricultural community. Most people drive trucks...diesel trucks. My current car is a 2001 PT Cruiser (I like to keep cars for a long time). I always park way out in a parking lot. Never got a ding in a...
