Asked my local Nissan guys to fix this when I had my Leaf in for the PDM recall /reprogram. They adjusted the nozzles in a couple of minutes, now perfect on both sides!

Thanks everybody for your comments! This forum is great and I always learn something from everybody's posts. Just a few things; The NC Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) is a high tech heaven with what looks like a ton of public charging options! Good for them, and I wish I still lived there...

A quick write up after about 6 months and 6 K miles on my beautiful 13 SV: I decided to lease for several reasons. I wasn't sure that the Leaf would fit my mission (72 miles drive to/from work about 3 times a week) reliably all year round. I am also somewhat worried about battery longevity...

I know this has been reported here before, but has anyone actually had a fix for it? The steering wheel gets so hot you can barely touch it. Then it shuts off and seems to stay off until the car is restarted. You think this would be an easy fix for Nissan...

Same issue since installing 7.0 Very irritating!

About half of my commute is 55 mph freeway, half in town. Drive in Eco (but not much in B-mode, don't like it) and do what could be described as moderate hypermiling. 44 psi in the tires. Seems to work for me :-)

Just pay the $ 300 for the EVSE Upgrade! I thought I would use this as a short term solution. But - charges at 20 Amps from my dryer outlet, works like a charm!

No you didn't. Make a mistake! Enjoy!

After two great months of Leafingship with a 66 miles round trip commute about three times a week, I have yet to use my 06 Prius - at all! Even with some small detours for errands I generally arrive home with 20 miles left on the GOM. I plan to join the 100 mile club here some day, just for the...

and... Now charges normally! Hopefully new 13's already have the software update.

My 2013 gave out after 2000 miles. Now getting reprogrammed at Nissan Reidsville NC. Hopefully that does the trick! Great and friendly service too! Bo

Washington state is just about as far away from North Carolina as you can get, but: A $ 100 contribution is in the mail. The guvernmint is not going to provide the infrastructure needed to make EV:s truly practical for the mass market. The plug-in manufacturers.... Well, your guess is as good...

Well, a few weeks in to ownership I'm trying to pick up some of the finer points of the Leaf experience: I'm not quite sure about the B-mode. Having driven a 2006 Prius for 100 K plus miles (and consistently achieved MUCH better than sticker mpg) I assumed the Leaf worked the same way. Hitting...

Dress rehearsal over, today was opening curtain. To work, park 2 day and then home. 67 miles total. Then a few errands on the way, + 8 = 75 miles. About 88 F average, AC on Auto at a comfortable 72 F. When pulling in to the driveway 15 miles left of 100 % charge. Speed limit. GOM surprisingly...

And even bigger grin! Just got my upgraded EVSE - a one day turnaround! Plugged in to the dryer outlet, car charged from 6 % to 100 % I'm 4.45 hrs! What's not to love!

Hi! I'm an airline pilot and I'm trying to get my local airport, PTI/GSO, to install some chargers so I can reliably make my Leaf commute. The airport has been receptive and is looking in to this for employees as well as customers! Anyone in the NC "electric community" who finds this useful I...

A week later, still a big grin on my face :-)

Just got my beautiful red 2013 Leaf SL w QC and the goodies! Love it! Drives like a dream, feels very solid and "Mercedes-like". It will work for 90 % of my driving needs, my trusted 2006 Prius will take care of the rest :-) I am somewhat concerned about the battery issues so I leased. If...
