    Has anyone installed an additional battery pack?

    I have read several posts that discussed the feasibility/non-feasibility of adding a range extending battery pack but I have yet to know of an actual install and how it is working. The closest thing to a usable pack I have read about is the one that Enginer was promoting, however I have not seen...

    On decreased capacity battery-Is charging 100% still bad?

    A question for those who have a better understanding of the Leaf battery chemistry and BMS. My battery only has 11 capacity bars now. My understanding is that the BMS is limiting capacity due to a few weaker cells that are limiting charge to the entire pack. So my question is this: Since a few...

    I keep getting a 45,000 mile service reminder

    Anyone know why Nissan keeps on sending me a 45, 000 mile service reminder when my odometer reads only 27,000 miles? I keep ignoring them but now I'm getting paranoid :shock:

    Pechanga today

    Just in case you get the itch, took a road trip to Pechanga Casino in Temecula. The have 6 very new AV L2 chargers on the 1st level, main parking structure. To access, use the second entrance (by the golf course and conference center) and go all the away around to the back side of the structure...

    Been watching this one for a while and thought it was really good before being amended, and it still is pretty good news..... for everyone except for the 10 and 110 commuters. Good overall except my commute is on the 10 freeway :( The above from this link...

    What 2000 watt generators have you used to charge your Leaf?

    Now that someone has developed a trailer hitch for the leaf: http://shop.tlcentral.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1041 I'm thinking of getting a 2000 watt suitcase size generator and mounting it in something like the Thule hitch mount case to keep it secure and adding some ventilation...

    I actually like my AV EVSE

    I've read a lot of discussion about the Blink EVSE and I realize that it is a totally different beast, but I thought I would say that my AV supply has actually worked very nicely with the car timers. Knock on wood, I have never awoke to an un-charged battery as of yet. I was however very...

    Interest in lowering springs

    Greetings, I have been talking to the Eibach company about getting them to make a set of lowering springs for the Leaf. So far they have not received many requests and are hesitant to invest the time in making them right now. I would like to see how many Leaf owners here would be interested in...

    Daytime Running Lights

    Thought it was weird that it doesn't have DTRL. So I decided to mod the driving lights. I replaced the halogen bulbs with 68 led bulbs. The polarity was wrong so I had to reverse the wires. The original power only works when the headlights are on so I left the ground wires and I ran the power...

    Static Cling?

    Not really a big deal but kind of weird. Every time I get home from my commute, there is a fine layer of dust clinging to the rear hatch, bumper and the rear portion of the fenders that clings so tightly I can hardly get it off even with a California Duster. There seems to be a significant...

    Top Speed

    I found my self on a flat open road today and wanted to see what what the real top speed was. I managed 94 mph and I was surprised how smooth and stable she was. I do however suspect that my spedo is off a couple of mph according to the GPS in my phone but I'm not sure how accurate it is either.

    Post You Leaf Rear Window Decals

    Here are mine. Electric is a line of sunglasses but I thought the decal was perfect to make sure everyone knows what kind of fuel I'm using. The one in the lower left, well, I don't need to explain that one........ 8-)

    Anyone else notice this?

    Received an e-mail this morning from "Nissan" stating my leaf would be arriving in 7 days (which I doubt since I don't even have a Vin # yet). I noticed it was from a public relations company named Maritz. http://www.maritz.com/ not Nissan. Another e-mail from customer a service person named...
