Congratulations on your purchase. We find the i-MiEV to be a perfectly acceptable car for all of our around town use. The after-rebate price we paid for our "i" was less than 1/2 the after-rebate price of our LEAF. Sounds like you found a similar deal. You may be interested in the i-MiEV forum.

I opted out of this class action suit. I plan to sell my LEAF next month, either to a dealer or private party. Am I required to disclose this suit and my opting out when I sell the car? (BTW, I live in California.) Thanks in advance!

I've shown both my LEAF and my Mitsubishi i-MiEV at several events. One of the most difficult things to address is the electrical cost. Many people in our area (California Central Valley) already pay PG&E hundreds of dollars per month in the summer for AC or suffer in 110 degree heat. Telling...

Not sure if this is the best sub-forum to post this in, but here goes (if not, mods, please kick the post out)... The early adopters are nearing the three year mark on our LEAF ownership. I'm now under three months away from that magical point. I call it magical because after three years, we...

Last weekend, when we were showing off our cars in "the raisin capital of the world", one woman saw your infinity mpg decal and really got it. She said, "Oh, it must be all electric." And then started a conversation. So, you're sticker worked (at least once!). Disclaimer, the sticker is on the...

Time to go for a drive and enjoy the new EV feeling :D

Okay, I'll bite... If the heavy-breathing bicyclist becomes more physically fit from the workout, wouldn't he/she breathe easier and more efficiently after several cycling routines? Therefore, wouldn't these calculations need to add in the benefits derived to the environment from breathing...

Another Randy for Costco's Amerprise. We saved a $200 or so per year when we moved from AAA (or CSAA).

I happily pay $10 to RV parks when they let me charge at their facilities. That's about 20 kwh's worth at $.50/kwh, right? Why "happily"? Because I NEED them to get where I want to go when I leave town. When (if ever) Walgreens puts EVSE's in Fresno, California I'll be glad to pay $.50/kwh to...

Is the LEAF battery a consumable item? I've been mulling this over for the past few months. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. Every so often, I have to switch batteries on them, or else my computer becomes worthless. Even the more durable batteries, like laptop batteries, degrade and need...

Ummm, I've never been to Europe, but I understand you can't (easily) charge your LEAF there at 120v. Aren't they using 208v or 240v as their trickle charge? If 120v trickle charging was better on the battery, would we be seeing some of our European friends making this point? From all I've read...

I've had customer service problems like this addressed when I post the story on the manufacturers' Facebook page. You may want to take the story as you wrote it on the forum and put it on the Siemens' Facebook page :)

Mods, I did a quick search for this but did not find anywhere to post. If needed, please move this to another topic. I am looking for comments from any California members who did not keep their LEAFs a full 3 years. What happened with respect to the CARB rebate? Did they sell the car, contact...

cwerdna, I've always appreciated your addition to the forum. Thanks again. Still looking for an answer, though...

Does anyone have a LEAF/i-MieV combination, with their evse upgraded by Phil? If so, does the Nissan upgraded evse work okay with the i-Miev? I'm a LEAF owner with the upgraded evse that I use regularly. A local fleet dealer is offering the i-Miev with an $11,000 discount. So, after rebates and...

Exactly! Local dealers want to give me hot dogs, soft drinks, tote bags, and trinkets just to visit them and maybe walk around their lot.

I started out with this "temporary" use of my EVSE Upgrade option with the idea of installing a more permanent solution later. It's been two years and I'm still using the EVSE Upgrade as my daily plug. I just never see any reason to pay for that more permanent device :D

First, if any of the mods think this needs to be moved into another thread, please do so... Like many, my LEAF lost it's first battery capacity bar at the end of last summer. Since then, I've been reading about options to keep my garage cooler during the summer. From memory, some of the options...

...when, for the third year in a row, you're asked to bring your car to the local Earth Day event! (for sure, downtown Fresno, CA, April 20th!)

Kind of like paying $269,000 for my house, then a couple of years later seeing the foreclosure next door sell for $130,000. Actually, the LEAF situation doesn't look that bad anymore. :roll:
