I appreciate all of you who have posted, especially the pictures. I had a vibration in my 2011 Leaf fan for a couple weeks, then it stopped completely. Had a mouse nest in there that almost completely filled the fan. But from start to finish, cleaning out the fan only took about a half hour...

I own a 2011 Nissan Leaf. I just got a call from a woman claiming to be with the Department of Transportation, and she wanted to ask me questions about the seatbelt warning in my Leaf. I had no idea what she was talking about, and I tend to be very skeptical of anyone who calls my home...

My family has had our Leaf for about five months, and we've put about four thousand miles on it. We only use the EVSE, and it just stays in the garage. Since we started only charging to 80%, the Leaf has gotten home with only 9 miles of range remaining several times. The car continues to...

This is an old thread, and you guys already declared it moot... But I enjoyed reading the philosophical discussion and hindsight. I'm curious if any of you bought your Leafs because you were concerned about gas prices spiking, gas shortages like the 1970's, stuff like that. I teach economics...

It has taken me quite a while to get through this thread, since I just joined the forum yesterday. I bought my Leaf this past March, so I'll be filing for my 8936 tax credit a year later than most of you. I'll definitely be re-reading the thread during tax season. Am I understanding correctly...

Thanks... The wife just got home with the Leaf, and I've already got the timer set to take it to 80% from now on. I spent today reading this forum, and I'll spend tomorrow reading the owner's manual again now that I've been driving it a few months.

I appreciate the replies. My wife just got home with the Leaf, and I already set up the timer to stop at 80%. And I saw quite a bit of discussion about the EVSE upgrade to L2, and I checked out their website. I'll be doing that shortly, I believe. I'm also eligible for a "free" L2 charger...

I've spent quite a bit of time reading this forum, and it's great. Thank you in advance to anyone who replies. I've seen a lot of discussion about battery degradation in Phoenix, but I was wondering if someone could outline Do's and Don'ts of charging. What is it that really causes the...

So am I understanding this correctly? Some of you don't fully charge your Leaf each time? You only charge to 80% because that helps the battery? We only use the L1 charger that came in the backpack in the trunk. We always just plug it in when we get home, then unplug it and go in the...

My family of four has been driving our Leaf in San Antonio since March. Ours is black and I've seen a blue one several times, but haven't met any other Leaf drivers yet.
