Great advice. I will keep this in mind the next time we go on vacation in the winter. thank you! Peace

Thank you!!

Thanks everyone for your responses - I'll have the circuit breaker where the faulty outlet is connected to checked soon. My husband thinks using an extension cord to use the other working outlet inside the house to charge the car is fine, but I'm a bit uneasy after reading what you all wrote...

Just want to report back to you all. We came back from being gone for 10 days (Leaf was at almost full charge level when we left) and it started right up. I don't use any extra device to accurately measure range so don't have accurate answer on what charge is left then, but it looked like it...

Great! I'm feeling much better now. You rock! Thanks so much and I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! Peace

Thanks everyone, for your prompt replies! We live in a small split entry home w/ a tug under garage. So, the garage has one shared wall with the house and its ceiling is also heated; therefore, it's never been that cold even in the deep of winter (I think I'd worry more if we had to leave...

Hello everyone, I found a related topic when I did a search but then that thread went into much technical aspect of electricity, etc. that i didn't understand. So, i just would like to confirm: if my Leaf's battery will be OK when we go on vacation for 10 days? We're lucky to have a garage...

thank you! wow, I didn't even know there was such an announcement - was too busy negotiating with several dealers. I got them to bid for my business, and I believe i've got a fair price at the end :) Great news though! Peace

Thank you Tim Lee and cgaydos, for your comments - appreciate them. Just bought a Pearl White 2014 Leaf SL this afternoon. It's a beautiful car! I'm now officially a member of this "club" :) Peace

thank you everyone for your advice! P.

Hello TimLee, Yes, i'm afraid I've changed my mind back and forth quite a bit. But i had a lengthy discussion w hubby and we've agreed that our situation works better w/ a purchase vs a lease. Both of our commutes to work are very short, 10 mile roundtrip for me (and i work from home once to...

thanks for your helpful reply cgaydos. I will definitely upgrade our electrical system. regarding the pricing of the '13 Leaf, I think I'd know what a good deal is by now. thanks again. Peace

Thanks cgaydos, for your thoughtful comments. Yes, I have been doing emails & phone calls w/ dealers all day today (I'm not comfortable showing up at the dealership to negotiate, that's why I've done a lot of online research so I knew almost exactly what's in each dealership inventories, etc...

thanks cgaydos, for your super fast reply! they're very helpful - I 'll keep them in mind when I deal w/ the dealership tomorrow (sign- feel like I'm doing battles soon) I thought that the warranties are between the manufacturer and you - not the dealership? P.

[ sorry, my first question was already answered. So, even w/ no mile accumalated, the new '13 may have suffered quite a bit of degradation anyway (sign - I was hoping for a different answer). So, if one can afford to buy/lease now, one should just get the current/'14 model Leaf, since even a...

Hello all - I was going to post a similar question but saw this so I'm tagging on... 1) If a '13 Leaf has been sitting in the dealership lot for several months in MN cold weather (I don't know if they take extra care of EVs or just let them sit with the rest of the other new cars), even though...

Thank you so much for the info! I will have my hubby read this before we order the CC unit. He understands electrical lingo much better than I and has done some wiring around the house, though I think we'll probably hire an electrician to get our garage ready for the Leaf. Best regards, P.

Thanks everyone, for your very prompt and thoughtful replies! I'm only thinking about "mobility" factor 'cause we do have plans to move in several years - I'm assuming that once we get the Leaf, we won't want to go back to the gas cars, like everyone else here's saying :) (though we should...

oh, i forgot to mention that the reason I'm asking to make sure all EVSE units/brands work for all EVs is because someone mentioned that Tesla charging stations only work for Tesla EVs and don't work for other EVs (did I hear that correctly?) P.

Hello! i'd like to confirm two things w you please: 1) regardless of which model EVSE we choose (I'm leaning toward to ClupperCreek HCS-40, 30A), this will be good for all EVs right? say after 3 years of leasing a Leaf, in 2017 Ford or Chevy offers a great deal that I can't resist (plus much...
