Travel to California 2012

Posted on by

I’ve been visiting California as part of my other business and having an incredible time.

So far I’ve visited the Raceway at Sonoma and seen electric racecars, motorcycles and took a ride on the track.

I went to a Nissan Leaf owners group, where I got to drive a BMW EV, plus the Honda Fit EV.

I visited dealers who have EVs like the Ford Focus EV and the amazing Fisker Karma EV and more.

I also made the mistake of going to IKEA on a busy Saturday. CRAZY.

Here are some photos.

Enginer now offers Leaf add on pack for extended range

Posted on by

Enginer has now begun offering  4Kwh or 8kwh systems for the Nissan Leaf.

There’s some discussion about it on the MyNissanLeaf web site.

Initially there were reports of there being a 12kwh option, but Enginer confirmed that it is not true. While electrically possible, it would be a challenge space-wise.

The 4kwh system fits under the rear deck. The 8kwh system protrudes about 6″ above the rear deck into the cabin.
