Re: Leafs Over Texas!
Thanks... The wife just got home with the Leaf, and I've already got the timer set to take it to 80% from now on. I spent today reading this forum, and I'll spend tomorrow reading the owner's manual again now that I've been driving it a few months.

Re: Leafs Over Texas!
Behold: City of Houston's Leaf fleet, Tranquility Park underground parking garage, during lunchtime on July 18, 2012:
There were two rows of Leafs. One of the EVSE units was being operated on by two people from the black SUV in the last picture.

Re: Leafs Over Texas!
I think they're pool cars, so probably any city department can use them, but I'm not certain of that (I don't work for the city). I was a little concerned they weren't being used during the middle of a business day, but maybe city employees use them mostly to commute?adric22 wrote:Wow, that is awesome.

Wonder if they will have any issues with such a potentially large population being trained on how to drive the LEAF "properly." 99% of it is just like any other car. However, that 1% could be problematic (e.g., turtle mode when unexpected, run to no charge, etc.)
