I just found EV Trip Planner http://www.evtripplanner.com. It has 2 LEAF settings: LEAF alpha and LEAF beta. I found the LEAF alpha provides the best results based on a quick check of past trips. If anyone has investigated the accuracy of this site for LEAF use. Unfortunately, the tool...

Now that we have some experience with heat pumps. Please provide thoughts on whether they are a good thing to have in an EV. Not that they are available in other EVs yet, but at least may be available in the LEAF 2. I don't have a heat pump since I have the 2013 S.

Does anyone know if L3 charging is free at Central Avenue Nissan, Yonkers NY. Plugshare doesn't say and someone said it was free as of 02/06/2016.

I don't know what they are talking about. My 2013 LEAF S has been great. Problems I've experienced: AC lost charge in first year, took two tries for the dealer to fix. No further problems. Drive train backlash noise. Service campaign fix didn't last. Noise still noticeable when moving from...

I have compiled a table of the registered plug-in electrics in NYS. I used the following DMV searchable database: https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/Vehicle-Snowmobile-and-Boat-Registrations/w4pv-hbkt. This database doesn't list vehicles by model. So I used make, fuel and weight to find the...

I am interesting in hearing about any experiences with touring in a Leaf (or other EV). That's is, taking a trip way beyond your home charging range. I have noticed that there are quite a few level 3 charging stations (mostly at Nissan dealers) in New England. I am on Long Island, NY and...
