Good question. I wondered the same. Then I decided to investigate -- results below... First, an update on getting a new charger. Apparently it takes the dealership about 24 hours to determine what sort of warranty to use. Then they tell you it falls under the parts warranty -- not the car...

Mine fried today. Plenty of smoke. Judging from the smell, I'd guess MOVs. You know that distinctive smell. The ready light does not work. Tried in five outlets in two buildings. Anyway, took it to the dealer and they are confused about what to do with it. I'm still waiting for a call back.

Are the diagnostic trouble codes available for the Leaf? Mine just had a trip to the dealer for service because the EV warning light came on. I spoke with the master technician and he said it code B2840 saved. He said, "Checked freeze frame, found vehicle had an AC service disruption...

Re Too Slow: One time my father borrowed my old pickup and got pulled over for driving too slow -- 55 -- on the freeway. He was miffed. He got off with just a warning. Re. Drive Fast: Good thread. I like to drive fast some times. At first I thought, "I'm wasting energy." But if more people...

Yesterday I stopped by a Nissan dealer to plug in. The sales manager saw me checking out the chargers and the cars that were parked there. He came out and quickly observed the license plate frame and realized I bought it from another dealer. He said, "We installed these chargers thinking we...
