Nissan has lost the advantage they once had with Ev`s. They should have insisted upon fast chargers at their dealers. Also provided Destination chargers for free. They should have added optional battery packs a couple of years ago. Nissan is too focused on making profit today rather than...

I had a similar experience. I returned my Leaf after 34,000 miles and similar range reduction. I leased a new S model and now get over 90 miles. I believe it is a combination of a new and improved battery and warmer weather. I live in San diego

I appreciate this thread. Thank you

Yes I read them. Non applied directly to the 2013 S model. Now that the 2014 has the back up camera as standard equipment it is possible that the 2013 can easily be modified (retrofited) with additional parts that were installed in the 2014.. If so what are the parts that would be needed? :)

The 2014 S has a back up camera as standard equipment. Can the 2013 S be retrofitted with a camera?

I understand that there is value to being able to give input early with out Nissan fearing disclosure that can impact then from a competitive standpoint. Behind my comment is frustration. I have a 2011 that was promised to get 100 miles of range. I live in Coastal San Diego yet my battery has...

If they shared information with you, you should report it. Otherwise you would appear to be a stooge for Nissan and not a valid representative off Leaf owners

I love the car but I am not happy with Nissan. The degrading is more than originally promised when I leased the car. With a 15 to 20% loss of range, range is beginning to be a challenge. Oh well, I only have 6 months to manage the problem before I turn the car in. Unless Nissan's 2014 model adds...

I lost my first bar after 27,000 miles. My outside temperature is on average about 3-5 degrees cooler than Derkraut's location. About 3-4 miles from the Coast. The car virtually never sits in the sun. Always in the garage when not in use. Garage is always between 62 and 72 degrees.

I am sorry to hear you lost a bar. I too have lost a bar. It appears that time (age) is the dominant factor in capacity loss. I lost my first bar also at 2 1/2 years. I was upset when it happened as I babied my Leaf like you do and live in cool San Diego.

Have you traded in your Leaf? What are you driving now.

I believe that your prediction is right on. My 2011 Leaf lease is up in the Spring of 2014 but I will not buy another Leaf, if it has the current battery range. I love the Leaf but the range is too limiting especially now that I have lost 1 bar after only 26,000 miles. I am not thrilled with the...

Goshen was a visionary with respect to electric cars and the potential of owning the EV market. I would never have bought a Nissan product if it was not for the hallo that the Leaf gave to Nissan's overall image. Has he lost his enthusiasm? I am sure that Nissan is working on new battery...

Lost the bar today at 27,300 and 28 months of ownership. My range is down about 15 miles.I live along coastal San Diego Ca. I charge to 80 percent almost always. The car on average is in my garage about 22 hours each day. The temperature in the garage ranges from 65 to 73. I love the car but am...

George, I am thinking about buying a Tesla and keeping my Leaf. Can you charge both cars at the same time with your new charger. Are there two cords coming from the charger?

Randy, Is that your Tesla?

I have a 2011 Leaf with a lease that expires in 2014. If Nissan does not increase their batterys range to over 100 real miles, I will be passing on a Leaf or Infiniti as a replacement.

GREENEV, IT's about 52 miles

Just got mine today from Nissan and Kearny Mesa Nissan. :roll:

Greenev, I can easily make it from Rancho Santa Fe to Laguna. Laguna has free chargers.
