The Leaf was leased. I found someone to buy the Leaf from Nissan.

If you work in or near the Palo Alto Square office complex and you drive a battery electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid, you might drop Craig Lewis of the Clean Coalition a note at [email protected]. http://www.clean-coalition.org/leadership/ Like me, Craig works in the office...

Yes, that was my ActiveE you spotted (username "John" in the ActiveE forum). I am a huge fan of this "conversion EV." It replaced my Leaf. The dealer removed the stickers for free. The biggest difference with the ActiveE is the regen. It takes some getting used to, but I rather like...

I test drove the Leaf on Friday, after being informed that I was at Stage 3 in the process. I drove less than a mile before I decided to head back to the dealer and complete the paperwork. The Leaf is an electrical appliance, whereas the ActiveE is an electric tank.

I think more individuals and more companies should be incentivized enough by the HOV lane perk so they swap their gasoline vehicles for BEVs or dedicated CNG vehicles. Having such a vehicle directly affects my company's bottom line as I bill by the hour and cannot bill for time sitting in traffic.

One Fuelmaker FMQ2-36 for CNG vehicles that can take 3600 psi, one Fuelmaker FM4 for CNG vehicles that can take 3000 psi. They work twice as fast as the Phil and need to be installed outside. Check out chgchat.com for more discussion on the subject.

Like Adrian, I have a Leaf and a CNG Civic. I also have two CNG Ford pickups (formerly government work trucks) - all with white stickers. With natural gas compressors installed at my home, I never have to go to a gas station and I rarely have to visit a public CNG station ... and I charge my...

I received the following email from Coulomb. The representative seems to think the CT500 will charge the Leaf faster than a 3.3Kw EVSE (see "Other items to consider" point #1 below). Is he misinformed?

I'm signed up for Oct. 29 at 5:30PM.

Today I received another email regarding the CT500 from Clean Fuel Connection:

I got the email. And this is what it said:

I received both emails as well.

I plan to check it out. I saw one at Santana Row near San Jose, and later at the Plug-In 2010 conference, but there was no opportunity to sit in the Leaf.

I chose "other." 1998 Ford F250 Dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), 70K miles, 14 MPG 2004 Ford F150 Dedicated CNG, 9K miles, 14 MPG 2005 Honda CRV, 65K miles, 27 MPG 2009 Honda Civic GX, 30K miles, 36 MPG I alternate between the F250 and the F150 for my 180-mile-per-day commute. Home...

Good to know. Guess I'll be trickle charging my leaf for a while. No point in rushing to install an EVSE by the end of the year if the EVSE credit does not apply against the AMT. Don't really need L2 charging with the type of driving I'll be doing with the Leaf anyway.

I would check this URL from the IRS: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206871,00.html Particularly this part: "Treatment of Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit as a Personal Credit Allowed Against AMT (Section 1144): Starting in 2009, the new law allows the Alternative Motor Vehicle...

I placed my order today and received confirmation. Hopefully I will be able to take possession before the end of the year.

To be transferred from a CNG F150 to my Nissan Leaf, and then maybe, just maybe, to a Tesla Model S:

It is mostly future proofing. It also reflects my nerdish desire to have the best of what's out there, short of a Tesla Roadster with a Level 3 charger.
