Has anyone else had a problem with the occupancy sensor in their passenger seat going bad? I had the dealer quote me $2000 to replace the COMPLETE SEAT! :shock: When this happened in my Prius, this was simply a matter of recalibrating the sensor, but evidently the way Nissan does it you have to...

For the past few months I've noticed an issue with my 2012 Leaf, which I don't ever recall seeing in another thread so I thought I'd throw it out here: when I'm sitting in my Leaf waiting for my wife, "idling" with the A/C on, in the heat of the day in south Florida, the A/C seems to go very...

I just noticed that Sun Electronics is clearing out their Evergreen ES-E-210 and 215 watt panels for only 78 cents per watt! They also have LG Solar 220 watt panels for 88 cents/watt. Both are Polycrystalline I believe. If I hadn't just put together a bid for Canadian Solar 230 watt panels I...

I just put down my $99 deposit, and also just completed a 7.5kw solar PV system on my garage roof. IF I am able to get delivery of my Leaf yet this year, it would mean that I will be filing for both a 30% solar tax credit and the $7500 EV tax credit in the same year. I asked my accountant today...
