Thanks for posting this! I cut and pasted it over on the My Nissan Leaf forum under their i-MiEV topic. ;) Jenn

Nice write-up, Joe! Jenn

Whoo-hoo! :P Great job, Fiddler John! Enjoy your new car, Jenn

Hi Dan, I don't have any problems with the seats, although they probably are not as plush as most. In my mind, I don't expect to sit in this car for more than 30-60 minutes at a time, so creature comforts (like a center armrest) are not that important. Jenn

Fiddler John, Thank you for posting these pictures! When I first viewed your post, there was only text and it wasn't quite making sense. I was going to post a reply, quoting your text, and when I used the quoting button I saw a link was there - a link that was invisible to me when I read your...

Good analysis, Fondi. Jenn

I was just wondering if you were trying to get it home from the dealer and weren't sure of the range. I was going to suggest that you could stop and charge somewhere and make it an all-day trip, instead of trying to squeeze it into a truck. Doesn't sound like that would be any help, though. Jenn

How far do you need to take it? Jenn

JoeS, That's a great idea! Jenn

Thanks, John, That kind of implies that no plates at all are needed to be on my car before I order the white stickers, could that be true? Jenn

I have personalized plates on an existing car that I want to move over to the i-MiEV. I have to wait for the regular plates come in from my registration first. I also need to wait for the regular plate to come in before I can order my white HOV stickers. I want to get my white stickers as...

Hey, FJohn, Thanks for posting that stuff about the wheel speed sensors. It made me wonder if a bike computer would interfere, because it also uses a magnet. For an EV trip planner I'd definitely want something that considers altitude. Joe - I actually would have taken the train from...

Okay, I did it today! I left home at 7:25 am and headed up El Camino. This will sound dumb, but I got lost along the way. Wound up going about 5 miles out of my way. I arrived at my destination having driven 48.7 miles and I had 6 bars and 33 RR (range remaining). I did stop and charge L2...

If a dealer is leasing the i-MiEV, they should have the residual value in order to compute the monthly payments. Jenn

Thanks to JoeS and his wife for offering up their (very!) lovely home as a meeting place and arranging enough charging accommodations. I was able to use some of the suggestions in Joe's hypermiling presentation for my successful trip to SF and back (96.3 miles, not all on one charge). Jenn

As I understand it, the "range remaining" adjusts to the type of driving you are doing. Any idea how often it adjusts? I usually drive around town and am used to seeing 50-60 miles of range remaining after driving for a while. When I jumped on the freeway a couple of times, I was shocked to...

Yes, please keep us posted :) Thanks, Jenn

I stopped in at the San Jose dealership last night and they had just delivered 6 i-MiEVs to Google! My salesman said he's lost count of how many they have sold now (a couple of weeks ago it was 18), and they are getting lots of inquiries due to the rising gas prices, which are over $4/gallon...
