Anybody ever heard about the Wheego Life or Whip all electric cars? http://wheego.net/ The Life is in the same price range as the Leaf but the specks are dismal. A 20 horsepower motor and a top speed of 65mph. Who would buy this?

Just started to notice that the AM radio gets static interference when I drive over a bumpy part of the road. Does not happen using XM just AM. Have not tested the FM band. I wondering if it is just a loose antenna connection of a problem with he radio? I guess only the dealer will know for sure.

http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2011/07/nissan-leaf-earns-high-ratings-in-government-crash-tests.html I have been asked what kind of crash rating the leaf got in government test. Could not answer the question so I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised that the Lead got a FIVE start...

Had the privlage of see one of the few remaining EV1s at the Nettercutt Museum this weekend. Awesome looking car. Hard to believe perfectly good working cars were destroyed. GM let a few museums have NON-working EV1 to display. At Nettercutt all the cars, on display, work and are registered...

Should Nissan continue using the environmentalist/tree-huger/zero emissions marketing strategy or should Nissan be pushing the no-gas ALL electric theme? I would think the NO-Gas all electric crowd is a much larger segment then the no-emissions segment.

I read in several post that Leaf owners get lots of question when driving their Leafs around town. That has not been my experience. So I'm wondering if it has to do with the color of the Leaf. Mine is silver, so it blends in with other cars. It does not stick out or is the the color of the...

Sent the following to the City of Rancho Cucamonga: Does the public works depart provide and maintain the Electrical vehicle charging stations that are located on city property? Like the ones at the parks, Quakes stadium and city hall? If not which department does maintain the Electrical...

These are my low and highest with the Guess-o-meter millage numbers. Three bars left but this is the lowest I have taken it in my first moth of ownership. The high was still 40 minutes short of a full 100% charge

Are more and more public charging stations starting to look like this? where the cable have been cut and the connectors and wire have been stolen?

I did a search on this forum and only found one other Leaf owner that bought the Leaf for reasons other then being an environmentalist. Do not get me wrong there is nothing wrong with buying the leaf to environmentalist beliefs. I bought the Leaf to stop buying gasoline, at HIGH prices...

This near white upholstery is just nuts. I can not believe it is the ONLY interior color available. And then the engineer that put this very light fabric on all five arm rest must have never driven the car with kids or grand kids. You pull the door closed and you grab the white fabric, not too...
