Separate names with a comma.
I think that you're saying that you believe the A/C runs from the 12 volt battery? It doesn't. It runs from the main traction battery pack. I...
As noted there isn't enough room for one that would do that. Nissan tried a solar panel that charges the *accessory* battery in the Leaf, but it...
I don't know if this has been suggested already, but they could, after adding a steering wheel heater, put a menu choice in the main panel that...
Even MSNBC, with probably the most sane coverage, still spends an hour on virtually nothing. You have to change the channel on stuff like this.
I was reading through a PC, and no Prius. They may have edited the piece.
Where does it mention a Prius? Anyway, CNN is the "news" network that suggested a black hole might be the culprit. I kid you not.
You mean the bumper? Yes, same part. I'm saying that you probably have to remove the rear battery pack cover to get the bumper off, and the...
They haven't. They extend battery life by limiting the depth of charge and discharge. If they had a better chemistry we'd know about it, believe...
There is a battery area cover that may be involved in bumper removal, so it may be PIP-specific. Anyone know for sure?
You can probably go about 11.75 miles using the A/C in Eco mode. That's just a guess, made to show you can go *almost* as far with the A/C on.
I've never seen such happiness at having one's fuel economy halved! ;-) I'm guessing you mean it's doubled...? Anyway, I came up with a...
In Eco mode the drain is small enough that it isn't a big difference, because the A/C is limited in how much electricity it can draw. In other...
It wasn't that long ago that 80MPG vehicles were little experimental toy-cars with tiny motors. They weren't crash-worthy. It was assumed that the...
People don't seem to understand that while a deep cycle battery can, through an inverter, put out 120 volts, it requires 10X the amperage at the...
I'd advise against using the onboard compressor to top up tires. It's probably not durable enough to do it long term. You can get one that plugs...
IIRC, you can't use the compressor without the sealant bottle attached. It's a terrible system that screws up your tire pressure sensor and then...
I have a theory about the 2013 bad ratings. In 2012 the PIP (and Tesla) were being bought almost exclusively by PHEV and EV enthusiasts, including...
It's a shame that cars get tested as either fetish objects or appliances, with little or nothing in between.
There are going to be a sh*t-load of Leafs coming off-lease, and the prices should be below $17k. The payoff for my 2013's lease is $18k, and that...
With that commute, you can get a used Leaf. You also live in the perfect climate for one.
