I have three questions: 1) What is a typical timeline to get a license plate (California) and then receive a white HOV sticker? I'm still waiting for my plate, over 3 weeks. 2) Unless you receive a license plate, I cannot apply the HOV sticker. Correct? The form does requires the license...

https://www.wired.com/2016/09/chevrolet-bolt-range-epa-rating/ Yes, we have been hearing about Chevy Bolt with 60kWh battery at $30K price, after the rebates. Chevy claims that the car should be available by 2016. Is it really happening now? If 60kWh battery is possible at such lower price...

Mine is 2013 LEAF with QC and becomes around 3.5 years old. Mileage is very low: 22,000 miles. It has still 12 battery gauges. Since this week, L2 6kW charging via ChargePoint (installed at my workplace) doesn't work. DC fast and 120V slowest charging work fine. I tried with other ChargePoint...

My 3-year lease (2013 LEAF) will end this month. I'd be happy if you could share your recent deals, especially in Bay Area. I'm looking for a short-mileage lease term. For the past 3 years, my mileage was only 24,000 miles ... By the way, should I wait for a better battery car like Bolt or...

I leased 2013 LEAF 2.5 years ago. I will return this car next April. This car has a very annoying rattle/vibration problem from the speedometer area. I'm wondering whether a dealership is willing to fix it. Is there anyone who suffers from this kind of rattle problems? Thank you!

My 2013 LEAF is close to lease termination (April). This was my first lease. A couple of simple questions: 1. Should I clean/vacuum the car before returning? Lots of sand/dirt inside cabin. :? 2. There is $395 disposition fee. Will this fee be waived even if I lease a Nissan car at...

I'm usually charging at my company using a 6.6kW charger. Say an optimistic charging efficiency of 90%, then an hour charging would give around 6kW. 6kWh is 25% of LEAF batter, 24kWh. However, my observation is that an hour charge gives more than 25%. For example, today the batter was at...

I'm still new to my LEAF, which I leased this April. We are using only for city driving (20 miles per day). I definitely believe that the cost of maintenance (including fix and repair) of LEAF should be cheaper than gasoline cars in the same segment (e.g., Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai...

(1) What is the weight of lithium-ion battery pack? Or, what would be the weight of the batter per kWh? I've heard that Tesla's big capacity battery (60~85kWh) takes so much weight, which enforced other materials such as doors to be lighter materials. Given that 1 gallon of gas gives 20-30...

I registered Blink membership, and it's interesting that currently DC fast charging is just free. Is this a sort of promotion period? When will it be terminated? Then, what'd be the cost for the fast charging? Just a quick note: My LEAF's GPS doesn't show properly DC fast charging station...

A simple, but scary question: What if mistakenly hit P button while driving? It seems that it can be easily pushed P button because of its eccentric design of the gear. Would the car abruptly be stopping? I believe the design of P is very weird... :shock:

I am with 2013 LEAF SV + QC option. I really love this car. But, have a couple of small inconveniences. Is there any way to open the hatchback door from the driver seat? Surprisingly, it seems no switch is there! Also, I was surprised that I was unable to open the hatchback door from the...

I love my LEAF. It is a great car. However, the navigation/GPS experience is really horrible... I know how to cancel the current route. But, I have to click FOUR times. (1) Hit Menu (2) Hit Route/Destination (3) Hit Cancel (4) Finally, hit "Yes" It is EXTREMELY inconvenient and distracting...

I'm new to LEAF. I just started to use LEAF last week for 2-year lease. My usage styles are: - Typical commute is just 15 miles/day. - On the weekend, it could be 40-50 miles. I'm trying to use as much as I can :D - Using only 120V charging. (Rented house :cry:) - Living in Northern CA. (No...

I'm in the process negotiating LEAF 2013 with QC option in Bay Area. My commute distance is small, less than 15 miles. But, it'd be very good for me if I can use LEAF to drive from San Jose To San Francisco. Precisely, it's from the border of Cupertino and San Jose to Golden Gate Park or...
