I have an upgraded EVSE unit as shown here: http://evseupgrade.com/?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3 that I did not return with my LEAF when the lease expired. It uses the L6-30 connector for 240v and I have the adapter for 120v. $175 plus shipping. Send me a private message if...

Due to unforeseen circumstances I am not driving my LEAF as much as I used to and it appears that I will come up about 5k miles short of 36k when my LEAF lease runs out next year. This is the first car I have leased, so other than buying the car when the lease is over, I am unaware of any...

I've been overseas for a few weeks and saw a bunch of new Chevy Volt Ads while watching shows I missed on my TiVo. I searched and didn't see any mention of this. Hopefully this isn't a repost. Chevy seems to be focused on driver satisfaction, a tactic that I think Nissan should follow. This...

OK. I don't want to insult anybody, but I am getting a little confused when I read posts from the likes of Ingineer and garygid whom I consider to be well informed, that imply (to me) the following: 1. 100% charge with the timer will not balance the battery cells. - I say this from reading...

I have read about the neat trick to lower A/C power consumption to nearly zero: 1. Turn on Climate Control. 2. Turn on A/C, then adjust the temp down to the minimum (60deg). 3. Adjust the fan to turn off Auto, use fan to regulate temperature. If one has the Energy consumption display on you...

SoCal LEAF Owners might want to check out last night's episode of SouthLand (Episode 4 - 'Risk'). Early in the episode (before the first commercial break) a Blue LEAF is weaving a little on the road then the driver drops a banana peel out the window and gets pulled over by Cooper and Tang. The...

I've always maintained the GOM isn't any worse than an ICE and today I validated that. I was a putting gas in my son's Audi and decided to only put $10 in it. When I started the car it read 85mi range which seemed realistic given the car gets around 26mpg, my house is uphill about 3mi away...

I finally installed a dedicated plug on a meter for my EVSEUpgrade'd charger. There are already a few pictures but I thought I'd put mine up so that new members on the site could see. It is very nice to be able to measure on a daily basis how much juice is getting put into the LEAF. Sorry for...

I have the CWP in my LEAF. The seat(SH) & steering wheel (SWH) heaters are completely independent of the Climate Control with individual switches for each unit. You can barely see any power level change when Driver SH & SWH are active, which makes sense given most seat heaters draw <40W. There...

Noticed this over on the Nissan LEAF blog site. If this is scalable and doesn't damage the battery, it will be a game changer http://nissan-leaf.net/2011/06/21/engineers-develop-system-that-charge-evs-in-5-minutes/ If you follow the source links it appears that the system uses...

Where do you think this picture was taken? A Nissan dealership? Well no, I took this picture this morning in the parking lot where I work. Pretty cutting edge company set of employees that you'll see this selection of cars in the lot and I know that at least one (white one) is missing...

Since I just got on the reservation list today I am fairly certain I will be able to get a WInter package by the time my LEAF arrives. However I am more concerned about the traction abilities in snow/ice. The high torque of the electric motor in my Prius causes the wheels to spin which...
