Starting next month three year leases will be expiring. According to a mailing I got from a Nissan dealer, the fair market value of my Leaf is $12,375. This is a couple of thousand less than my residual. Does anyone know what Nissan is going to do, take back all the leased cars or offer leasees...

Two years of my lease were just completed and I am looking to the future. My summary on the Leaf is that it is an excellent car with a completely inadequate range. Unless Nissan drops the residual to a third, I will not consider keeping it after the lease period. I wonder what Nissan is going to...

Tesla Motors (TSLA_) announced its Supercharger network will now allow drivers of the Model S to travel across the country, without experiencing range anxiety. And it's going to do it much faster than people think. The network, which will triple by the end of next month, up from 9 to 27, will...

This issue may be resolved in earlier threads but I cannot find it. I spoke with Leaf Customer Service yesterday and was told that the car rejects any fast charging above 80%. Others in posts and one person from a company that installs fast charger insist that this is false information and you...

I have now had my Leaf for 16 months with about two years left on my lease. As long as I have charge in the battery, I am very well pleased with the car. However being on the cautious side, I am uncomfortable attempting a trip of more than 60 miles although I have gone farther. My problem is not...

"GoE3 is working with multiple partners to install charging stations and benefit local communities along interstate highways I-40, I-10, I-20 and I-70 with a station located every 50-75 miles. For Level 3 chargers, the costs will be $12.50 for a full charge and take 10 to 45 minutes, depending...

I-5 in Oregon gets charging stations for electric cars Electric car owners traveling on Interstate 5 in Oregon don't have to worry about running out of juice after fast-charging stations opened Friday. By JEFF BARNARD Associated Press CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — Electric car owners riding along...

I would like to hear about the experiences of Leaf drivers who have had tire trouble. How well does the included repair kit work? If you needed Nissan's emergency service, how good was it.

The New York Times has an article on how "hackers" are improving the Leaf, "The Electric Leaf’s True Believers Won’t Leave Well Enough Alone". I was interested in the reference to "EVSEupgrade.com" which sells an adapter that enables charging at any 240 outlet. I then thought of a recent drive...

Aren't we long past the promised time? I sent an email to Blink which they didn't answer. With relatively few quick chargers, we could travel all western coastal states and Arizona.

Pet owners know that certain motel chains accept pets as a matter of policy. Are there any motel chains which will allow guests to recharge electric cars, presumably using 120 volts, as a matter of policy?

If so, leasing is the only sensible thing to do. 1. http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/07/new-test-appears-to-back-range-claim-for-battery/ "The inspection organization Dekra has done independent tests for DBM and, once again, the pack seems as good as promised. In a press release, DBM...

http://www.4-traders.com/news/BYD-Announces-EV-Fleet-Results-at-Anniversary-of-Green-Taxi-Project--13612992/ Apparently the E6 has delivered on all claims for it including almost triple the range of the Leaf and fast charging with no degradation.

As of today, April 15,2011, are there any fast chargers in operation? Where can I find a list of 240 volt chargers in operation today?

So far this has been what has been posted on my dashboard in the past for delivery: April to May to pending. Today it was changed to June. Is anything different this time?

http://green.autoblog.com/2011/02/02/byd-f3dm-plug-in-hybrid-averaging-50-miles-of-real-world-electri/ The media insist on calling the Volt an electric car which it is not. Do the Chinese have a better one? While some in the Leaf community dismiss the BYD E6 as an illusion, if they have now...

Given what appears to be a slow roll-out of the Leafs and at least a beginning of price competition, what can you do after ordering a Leaf to change dealers without losing your place in line? This would also affect people who are forced to move, say being transferred from Los Angeles to San...

Today is Christmas, how many have been delivered nationally? How many more will be delivered by New Year? At the beginning of this year based on the information then available, I expected to be driving a Leaf this month at the latest. Now the best I can hope for is next May. At some point...
