    If Nissan offered to buy back your degraded Leaf, would you?

    Yes, you're absolutely correct. I don't know if I've actually lost any capacity. I should say I haven't been affected by any potential capacity loss. I have also never measured or calculated the mpgs that I get from my ICE cars or loss of mpgs as the cars age. As long as the car meets my...

    If Nissan offered to buy back your degraded Leaf, would you?

    Owned the car for 15 months and so far no loss of capacity. Been able to ride in the carpool lane and avoid massive traffic and got $12500 "off" and a free charger. 15 months of no gas station. For essentially $25k it does what I need it do. I knew it was limited. Luckily I have the luxury...

    SF bay area Blink service?

    Despite the early problems and the destruction of property I must say that 2.0 seems very stable. Have not had to reboot. No missed charges. Consistent Blink charged stopped messages. Annoying but at least it works. Good job Blink.

    New Target in Fremont has installed 7 Chargepoints

    Just charged here. Very nice setup. Need your Chargepoint card but it's free. Wonder if it is after hours?

    SF bay area Blink service?

    Well, had the Blink "service" done on a mostly working fine unit and now have a screwy unit that won't connect to our wifi. No problems before but it won't connect now. See's the network but..... Anyways, wonderful service person hooks up to ugly powerline LAN extension units and half asses...

    SF bay area Blink service?

    I got an email and a call from a local electrical contractor stating that they are doing maintenance and software updates on Blink units for ecoTality. Anyone else get this? What kind of maintenance is needed for these things and I thought all firmware was pushed via wifi?

    MY ZEV license plate at LAX, Why did you unplug my Leaf?

    So has MY ZEV been identified? Is this him/her? Posted by a Jack S? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150445233167796&set=a.10150414587742796.449734.141137487795&type=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; **** Just ignore. Finally looked thru the thread. Seems like he's...

    Charging in Berkeley, CA?

    Thanks for the responses. I did check EV Charger News, Plug Share, Recargo, and ChargePoint but was hoping to see if anyone actually had spots that they frequented or were not yet reported. Thanks for the heads up on the BayLeafers contact but the we're trying to find a daily work week parking...

    Charging in Berkeley, CA?

    Anyone know public places to charge in Berkeley? Center Street Parking apparently has EV chargers but they are the older type chargers. Only news I could find was from postings in 2000. Any recent updates? Thanks, Andy

    I Won the Use of a Nissan GT-R for a Day!

    Very cool Boomer. That's exactly how I feel when I drive it. It's just planted and secure. The AWD system is fantastic and it doesn't hesitate to rocket forward or cut a corner quickly. I know some say it makes it too easy to go fast and thus not a "driver's car" but that's what I like. I...

    I Won the Use of a Nissan GT-R for a Day!

    Did the drive happen yet? If so what'd you think? Definitely louder than the Leaf. Half the time you think the transmission is going to fall out right? But boy I love that sound. The clang of mechanical sounds is what excites me every time. That and the break neck acceleration. Oddly when...

    New Leaf lasts 2 days before crashing

    Definitely a concern of ours. Our service guy left the car running after the AC software update. The 3 beeps are too subtle, IMO, especially when you're in a hurry. I'd like for it to beep louder and more often the longer the key is out of range. Perhaps an auto off option after a certain time?

    Poll: who else here came from a high perf car like a 911

    CA HOV Lanes - hybrids OUT EVs IN?

    We just love the hatred we're getting in the comments section. They think we're uniformed elitist "hippies" simply because we chose to take advantage of a perk that is available to anyone who wishes to paticipate. Guess I should be mad at people for accepting tax breaks/credits or those who...

    SF Bay Area EVSE Recommendation

    A1 did ours as well. No mention of price either. I just assumed it was because our install fell below the $1100 allowance from the EvProject. Was I wrong? Should I expect a bill?

    Official EV Project / Ecotality / free charger thread

    You might have found this out already but that is definitely not the case. Picked up our Leaf 3/28 and the contract for the EV Project signed soon after. Just had the Blink installed yesterday 4/9. So you should be good to go.

    Motorized Front License Plate Holder?

    Hmmm... it does say OEM. With potential "mounting" points directly on the bumper and on the underside of the bumper (underside of upper opening) I think it should hold pretty well.

    Motorized Front License Plate Holder?

    I'd clear the whole bumper. Figure somebody willing to spend the time to rip off the entire bumper piece can take it. It was just a way of potentially removing the stickers easily without leaving any residual. Actually, I've never looked into or tried taking off an HOV sticker. How easy is...

    Motorized Front License Plate Holder?

    Has anyone tried or considered using 3M Super Strong Automotive tape to mount the plate holder? Used to hold trim and decals and plates in place. I was thinking of clear bra-ing the front and rear bumpers then 3Ming the front plate and applying the HOV stickers to the clear bra as well. No...
