This is one problem people who will try to sell Leafs used will have - no CWP. In northern states it will be a serious handicap.

If anyone comes across one in discussions with their dealer I would appreciate a 'heads up.'
Thanks.
Me too!
I'm in Minnesota and am in the same boat...looking for a 2011 orphan with CWP. Earlier this week I though I found one...but after contacting the dealer they said it was a 'misprint' on the website.

Of course it's two days later and they haven't fixed it.

the freezing mark every day. If I could not plug it at work it would be a nail biter every day to see if I could get home at night. There were a few days where I thought it looked like I could give it at try, but plugged in at work anyway. My humble opinion, you gotta find a plug at work or use the ICE car when it's icy.
PS: I use the heater sparingly. Heaters are like bankers, when you need them the most you can't afford them, or the sacrafice you have to make is unacceptable.

It's always better to do multiple smaller charges than one big charge in terms of cycle life, so charging at work is a good thing.brent said:Then again, I suspect that may need a 100% charge and there is nothing I can find that

My employer (federal gov't) will be installing between 20 and 30 L2 charging stations at work with a couple of those in an indoor parking garage. Those may not be ready until late 2013 or early 2014.
In the meantime it's still the waiting game.
