    Charging L2 at a campsite

    We warmed up out here and I got to test out my upgraded cord at a campsite. Evseupgrade.com did the mod and I got my adapter from evseadapters.com. The site is unattended. There are payment envelopes so I put in a dollar and wrote on the envelope what it was for.

    FOX NEWS just said Nissan is moving away from electric cars

    Fox news just said that Nissan is shifting (their word) away from electric cars to hybrids. They said the high cost of the cars and little charging infrastucture is the cause for the move. Has anyone heard this or are they just making this up?

    Testimonial/We've come a long way baby!

    Ever since I worked at a gas station pumping gas back in 1976 (I was 12 years old BTW) I dreamed of having an electric car. I saw the "gas crisis" up close and personal. Grown men yelled (and I mean YELLED!) at me like it was my fault that gas had risen over fifty cents a gallon. In 2004 or so...

    Leaf Club Advice

    Could some one give me some advice on starting a Leaf Club here in Kansas City? There aren't many here yet. Is there a good way to find other Leaf owners in my area? Are there other things a Leaf club can do besides get togethers? Yesterday I met with a rep from our local electric provider and...

    EVSE Upgrade

    I just got my cord back from EVSE Upgrade. Super fast service. I also got a pigtail ( from http://www.evseadapters.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) to use in some of the RV parks in my area. What a great improvement! Why doesn't Nissan just do this? It makes the vehicle...

    Newbie to leasing about to pull the trigger maybe

Even the lease price has been out of my reach. Today I saw an ad for a Nissan dealer that said they have a lease deal for a 2012 SV LEAF for...
