Just got new Leaf on Wednesday...and am truly overwhelmed. Trying to master every feature and just drive and enjoy...and yet my mind is trying to finish all the manuals, read this forum, and glean any acumen I can from the the folks that have driven the car for more than 2 days.
But I can say this: have no regrets leasing this.
Quick thing: I have the trickle charge for now...no really need for a shorter charge. (At least not yet.)But: is it ok to leave the charger plugged into the wall socket? Does this do any damage when the other charging device is not plugged into the Leaf? Does being plugged into the wall, with the car charging, use any electricity. Reason I ask: the owners manual said to always unplug the trickle charger from the socket.
I would rather leave plugged in--then I can putt into garage and if I want to charge grab the main thing hanging from my wall and plug into car. The socket is down and away--and would be pain to plug in every time.
Looking forward to my first weekend in the Leaf!
