  1. New Member Introductions
    I drove a 2012 Leaf for three years, until last week when I purchased a 2015 Volt. On more than one occasion while driving the Leaf, I found public chargers occupied by Volts. Of course, I never begrudged Volt owners charging their cars-- the Volt is an EV too, after all-- but particularly when...
  2. New Member Introductions
    For the last three years, I've been the happy driver of a 2012 Nissan Leaf. I loved everything about the car, even if it did require some adjustments in the way I thought about driving, range, and planning ahead. But my lease was coming to an end, and through some amazing incentives that GM was...
  3. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System - Chevy Volt
    I just purchased a used 2012 Volt from a dealer a few hours away in Atlanta. Before leaving the dealership they checked to make sure the charger was in the trunk. It was missing, so they gave me one in a black fabric case. When I got home and opened it, I discovered that it's a Nissan charger. I...

    It's a different market over there. Will the U.S. regain its lead or will the gap widen even further this year? Does this also show opportunities exist in the U.S., including with electrified trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and other popular vehicles? Bolstered by availability of a car model...

    As I've posted in another thread, I'm considering a Leaf but has serious concerns over battery life here in the DFW heat. I'm looking for info from any of you north Texas Leaf owners on how your battery is holding up after 12,18,24+ months and what your overall impression of the car is.

  8. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    I'll try to be brief, but had a little EV adventure yesterday. Due to missing my pre-rush hour traffic departure window, I decided to go charge at the shopping center near work, eat something, and wait out the 1 hour traffic peak. but nothing was easy! 1) Both Blink stations were ICE'd out...

    After driving north of 26,000 miles over 2-1/2 years in a leased LEAF, I just bought a black 2013 Volt. Yes. No, not kidding. Since we're confessing shocking things here, I'll add this for any Chevrolet guys who are lurking: This is my first American auto since owning a Pontiac in 1985. You did...

  13. Nissan
    I'm concerned about the Nissan LEAF giving EVs a bad name because it lacks a battery thermal management system and better charge state and capacity controls. This was posted last month: http://wiltingleaf.com/blog/03042013-drkaib To the best of my knowledge, even the 2013 Nissan LEAF does not...

    Read the story of this guy's trip from hell, although it is not completely the fault of the Leaf.
  16. Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Competitors
    On July 2, 2010 nuclearboy and I each made predictions for the beginning of 2013. I haven't been active here for a long time, because I jumped ship and leased a LEAF, but I'm bringing our predictions back as promised. In all honesty, I would judge that we both missed the mark, but he was closer...
  17. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Hey all-- Lovin' my 2013 Volt, but am looking into getting a 240V charger in the garage. Bosch (formerly SPX) came out and did an install estimate that basically required upgrading my panel from a 150A to a 200A (new panel, permit, labor to re-wire), but included the Blink residential charger...
