Yeah - here is a nugget you can tell you friends - at 3 years our FFE have the highest resale value of any of the reasonably priced EVs - yup 1 - Tesla -2 - RAV that isnt available 3 - FFE...

I think most of us agree that the front license plate situation on our cars is sub optimal. The front end was designed for a more narrow european license plate and the more square US plate just look awkward. The front end of our cars looks quite handsome with the plate off and I have seen some...

I had a great experience this weekend driving 50 miles up to a charge station on the Cascade Highway loop. There is a charge station in Skykomiish WA. I took part in a Ford commericial where they interviewed us and took footage of plugging in and such - fun! It should air in July on the Ford...

I mostly drive my FFE but every once and a while if it is not practical to do so take one of our other cars. I don't know if other people have experienced this, but when you get into and drive an ICE car after driving electric a few things become really clear. The overall volume is much higher...

Ok - Big discovery today - might be old hat to a lot of you. I have been frustrated that when I turn on the defrost, it shows I will lose about 10 miles of range on my GOM - ouch.! It turns out if you turn the temperature all of the way down, it runs just the fan and you only lose about 1...

Yeah - so I had an interesting thing happened a few weeks ago. I parked and didn't put it in park - just put the break on and forgot. I then charged all day on a 240 charger near work. When I returned and turned the car on all of the controls and lights started blinking and making weird...

Yeah - It is interesting that as much of an enthusiast as I am - to those that ask, I would reccomend holding off for 2 years or getting ashort term lease. The next generation of 200 mile EVs is right around the corner. The 200 mile Bolt and the new gen Leaf are really just months away from...

Wow - I was surprised to read this: http://insideevs.com/chevrolet-bolt-bmw-i3-killer-tesla-fighter-leaf-slayer/ I thought Nissan still had the leg up on everyone as far as releasing an affordable 200 mile car!

I have seen comments on these three characteristics several times here and have driven the car for a few months now and have some observations. 1. Wandering - sensitivity in steering. I believe what we have is a tighter steering ratio on these cars. You turn the wheel with less motion that...

We dont pay a sales tax on electric vehicles in Washington state. It is interesting how cheap the cars become when you add no sales tax, 7500 federal rebate, and gas savings! http://www.thecarelectric.com/content/electric-car-benefits-by-state.php

Interesting - the new Golf E considers the FFE, the Leaf and the Volt in its "competitive set" http://insideevs.com/2015-volkswagen-e-golf-gets-epa-rated-83-mile-range-116-mpge/ Since the FFE price cut http://insideevs.com/report-ford-slashes-focus-electric-price-6000-now-starts-29995/ it...

It is interesting to me how much people obsess about the battery pack being obtrussive on our FFEs. 1. I am a drummer - I carry a full set of drums in may car with no problem. I roll in a hard golf club case that has all of my hardware into the cargo deck from the back seat. It is very...

Why would you want to use the remote start?

I know the L setting on the trans. results in more agressive regeneration but it also seems quicker from a start - Is this my imagination?

Has anyone considered defeating the top speed limiter. I accelerate nicely to 85 then it kicks in - I know we could squeeze a 100mph sprint out of these things if the speed wasn't limited - I am sure there are warranty issues. I love the way the car drives in that 70-85 range - pretty entertaining
