I have decided to sell my Leaf. After 4.5 years and 65000 miles of problem free driving (between my 2015 and 2018) I am moving on to something a little sportier now that I'm finally done paying for daycare :). Thanks to everyone on the forum that has helped me out over the years, this place has...

I just happened to stumble on this. It looks like the charging infrastructure credit has been reinstated as part of the last spending bill the federal government passed. https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/18/us-extends-tax-credits-for-ev-chargers-motorcycles-fuel-cells-again-retroactively/

Hypothetically speaking is there anything illegal about getting a friend in Colorado to buy an ev for me then immediately buying it from him to get the $5000 credit?

If anyone near southeastern VA (Hampton Roads) is interested in a 2" receiver Torklift Hitch for the 2011 - 2019 Leaf send me a message. I'd really hate to have to ship the thing.

$3500 off 2018 and 2019 Leaf in for Virginia utility employees and customers. Good through 4/1/2019. http://vacleancities.org/nissan-increases-the-rebate-on-the-2019-leaf-to-3500/

Sorry if this is posted already but I didn't see it anywhere when I searched "Nissan Energy". Nissan to create an electric vehicle ecosystem that will allow for V2H, V2B, and V2G as well as battery storage from old depleted packs. This is the first I've seen this for Nissan USA...

I decided to install a subwoofer in my leaf. I went through a couple of options before settling on a Rockford-Fosgate P300-10 powered subwoofer. https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/p300-10/ I used a Rockford-Fosgate 8 gauge wire kit to run power and ground to the setup...

I was reading that Chevy (GM) hit 200k EV sales this quarter. If I understand the phase out properly there should be a $7500 credit until the end of Q1 2019, then a $3750 credit through the end of Q2. I think that makes this a good time to buy a Bolt or Volt since all of their existing stock is...

What do you gen2 drivers think about the new steering wheel? I really like the flat bottom look but then when I test drove a 2018 it kind of felt like a school bus because the wheel seemed really big. Do y'all feel like the steering wheel is huge? Do u get used to it?

I had an interesting conversation with a crutchfield advisor about the leaf and I was surprised to hear them say that they do not recommend installing any amp/sub in the leaf. The reason was that the voltage system is limited and not designed to handle extra draw outside of the existing...

I am finally off warranty on my 2015 S and want to put some bass in the trunk. Nothing expensive or crazy (the wife said I can spend a couple hunrded bucks), just a 10" tube and small amp (150W RMS bridged). I planned to install the amp under my passenger seat since it is less than 2.5" thick...

Looks like 2019 will be the last model year. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1120090_gm-to-kill-chevy-volt-production-in-2019

I am just going through this exercise in my head now and was curious what other leaf owners think or have done. I have a 2015 Leaf S with 43,000 miles on it. My latest leafspy stats show 83% SOH and 52AHr on the battery. I just dropped my first bar last week. I have a 52 mile round trip commute...

VDOT has recently decided to convert the reversible HOV lanes in Norfolk, VA to HOT lanes (demand based tolls) at the end of the year. http://www.virginiadot.org/newsroom/hampton_roads/2016/hov_lanes_in_norfolk108290.asp...

We had been considering solar for a while and a local co-op brought prices down to what I consider a reasonable payback range so we finally pulled the trigger on a grid-connected PV array for our roof. Our house has electric everything and based on last years usage and the installers estimates...

Is it possible Nissan put a little reserve capacity in the 2015 batteries given all of their warranty issues on earlier years? The reason I ask is that I am getting much better real world range than my driving habits, age of battery, and weather should allow for and have seen little to no...

Yesterday was one year since purchasing my 2015 leaf S. In that period I've driven 13,622 miles, done 63 QCs, and 475 l1/l2 charges (mostly done with timer so I think number is inflated). I bought it with 22 miles and it had sat on the lot for 11 months. At purchase leafspy showed 98% SOH and...

I know some folks are upset about the rapid depreciation of new leafs, and understandably so if you ever total it or need to unload it. However, I have found an upside for people that intend to keep it for a while. Where I live we have personal property tax on our vehicles based on the assessed...

I was a dumbass and forgot to charge my leaf last night. I did plug it in and set the timer but I neglected to actually turn on the circuit Lol. So I got ready to leave for work and realized I had 29% battery (according to dash) remaining and a 26 mile all highway commute to make. Not wanting...

I tried a quick search and didn't find another thread about this... Has anyone else noticed that Nissan upped the capacity warranty (at least 9 bars) on the 30kWh battery to 96mo or 100,000 miles? That is a pretty big deal in my book, especially for any hot climate folks considering a leaf...
