    Poll: Which PHEV or Extended Range is best Leaf companion?

    My wife and I bought a Ford CMax Energi over Ford Fusion Energi, Prius Plugin, and Chevy Volt. We needed a car that can go long distance and carry our stuff on weekends, use electric for my wife's 12 mile commute to work, and green sticker for my longer commute if needed. Prius was short on...

    Grabby Brakes?

    I experienced the grabby brakes and had the dealer update the software two days ago. The grabby brakes are gone at low speed and brakes feel firm. However, in eco mode, the regen seems more pronounced. My usual commute use of 4 and sometime 5 bar is now using 6 after the update. I think I...

    Will Leaf 110 charger work with other e-car or vice versa?

    Thanks all! I consider the C Max Energi as part Volt, Leaf, and Prius Hybrid. If I choose, Auto EV, it acts like a Volt where it prioritizes the EV and limits the use of the engine. In EV mode, it drives like the Leaf. And in EV Later mode, it drives like the Prius. I like it a lot like my Leaf!

    Will Leaf 110 charger work with other e-car or vice versa?

    Hi all. I just bought a C-Max Energi plug in and want to use the 110 charger that came with the Leaf to charge the C Max in the garage and leave the C Max charger in the car so I can plug at work. Will it work? Do you see an issue with it? My wife drives 16 miles to work so she can use the...

    Anybody commuting between San Ramon and San Jose in CA?

    It depends what part of San Jose. I drive from Fremont to San Ramon and I use 5 to 6 bars already and that's with minimal traffic. The hills make it hard to drive and save energy. Perhaps no issue to Milpitas and 237 but South San Jose or Santa Clara, you may need to charge. There is a free...

    Leaf Speakers Replacements

    Good question. I used Infinity because a Leafer tried the speakers and sounded good. The 63.9 and 62.9 seem to be one of the top speakers out in the market. Let us know your experience with other speakers when you install them in the Leaf.

    Pacific Stereo in Fremont, Ca - $80 - Mark installed mine. 45 minutes total time to install. I called two installers in Santa Clara and I got $160 and $200 installation quote. I bought the speakers from Amazon.

    Leaf Speakers Replacements

    The installer of my speakers used a plastic tie strap and tied it tightly to one of the small holes in the sheet metal. No noise from it.

    Should HOV sticker be extended?

    Thanks Cwerdna for clarifying. I changed the title using Tonywilliams' suggestion. Thanks for members that explained the issue and gave suggestions to an inexperienced forum guy like me. A member who answered with no value added - no thanks.

    Leaf Speakers Replacements

    Quick question. The ones that have the Infinity speakers installed, are the fronts way louder than the rear? I have to fade more to the rear in order to get a balanced sound. If I leave fade in the middle! I only hear the front speakers.

    Should HOV sticker be extended?

    Besides savings gas and helping with the environment, (other car is a Camry Hybrid) a reason why we bought our fourth car is to get the HOV sticker. I believe the sticker is supposed to end Jan 1. 2015. It seems like the rate of sale of pure electric is so slow that I think or I hope that the...

    Leaf Speakers Replacements

    Just had my speakers changed to Infinity 63.9 upfront and 62.9 at the back. $80 and it took the installer Mark from Pacific Stereo 45 minutes. It seems like an easy work. He re-used the old speakers' plastic spacer to ensure that the speakers will not hit the glass. It sounds much better...

    My Leaf replaces...

    My wife's Lexus LS430 -it has 8 cylinders and gets 19 mpg. We use the Leaf even on weekends now since it takes no gas. Calculated that Leaf pays for itself if I keep it for 8 years! Cool! People stops me to chat about the Leaf.
