I can't even rely on a handicapped parking space being open for me, much less a slot with power. However, the only public charging station in Albany NY is 3.3 miles from my work, and it's free, so if I'm low on charge I can stop there on my way home, for 15 minutes.

The official answer to all such questions can be found here: 2013 Nissan LEAF Press Kit . Click the Specs tab at the top of the page, then you will be able to see every feature for every model, as well as all Options Packages detailed at the very bottom. Personally, I think everyone should bookmark...

Since you will be changing dealers, I suggest you also file a complaint with your state's BBB, and if that doesn't work, Attorney General. Allege that you were deceived about what maintenance is required and at what intervals. If the dealer offers to refund the difference between what you paid and w...

Yeah, because 0 to 40 in the Leaf is actually quite slow and the data shows that most any non-econobox car can beat it... +1! I haven't lost yet 0-40 and my claim to fame was a new Nissan 'Z'. My reaction times are really good so I'm sure that helps beat everyone too. Maybe it's 0-30MPH and not 40,...

I have a 2013 SV with Around View and Bose stereo, but no mention of "premium package." What else does that include? Also the car I test drove was an SV with rear view camera, not the Around View. Frankly, having tried both camera options, I heartily recommend the Around View, because the ...

There may be a bit of good news with the bad, here. If you don't use a full charge before recharging (which isn't really that healthy for the pack, anyway) it will take less than 20 hours to recharge with 120 volts. I tend to use about 50-70% of the pack's capacity, and to get back to 80% from there...

You can switch between them with the "Trip" icon on the four-cornered button to the left and below the steering wheel. Holding Trip down while on one of them will reset it.

The manual is long and dense, but it's a good idea to wade through it, even if only ten pages at a time...

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but with my 2011 and using AC in the summer with an 85F setting, it would start at about 1.5kW, then quickly drop to just a sliver and it would hardly affect my m/kW h or my miles. Now, with the 2013, it starts at about 1.5kW and stays there. I've yet to see...

I would like to split the usage of a Level 2 - 30A EVSE between an indoor location and an outdoor location (not close to each other). I'd put a mounting bracket in each location and just move the plug-in EVSE as needed. It seems that most EVSEs that are not-hardwired are not outdoor rated. Looking ...

... As anybody who drives often in the fog knows, headlights make visibility worse, good amber fog lamps low to the ground with no headlights provides the best forward visibility. Unfortunately just about every state in the US requires that the fog lamps only function when the headlights are active...
