New Nissan LEAF test drive in Paris - Day 2
This time with the whole family, we headed to Marais, in the center of Paris
With my cap, French taxi driver style, in the Bus Lane ...
La Smaritaine - closed for renovation -
Les Bouquinistes
Chatelet
You have to be twice more careful in the bus lane, with all the bicycles, especially Velib users not always used to cycling ...
Mairie de Paris, of of our favorite charging spot
and an Electric DIY motorcycle conversion !
Rare enough, I took some detailed pictures of the unusual conversion
Motor toothed belt transmission to the chain
Dual charger :-) - like in the Model S or the new LEAF -
So now, we have to plug into the regular 220V outlet, using the LEAF EVSE that is in the backpack
What's this yellow label ? Well it says: "Never use and extension cord": Oh really ? What about my 3m extension cord when I plug in in the street and 10m extension cord in the parking; Not a problem after 2.5 years of use
Guess what, because it is too short, so I have to back up and I am parked over one scooter spot
Still, too short, and without closing this lid, no power :-(
The new EVSE J1772 plug is different BTW, looks cheaper
We finally have to move to the other spot ...
and plug in
and after 10mn, we are charging (that's why I have a 3m extension cord attached to my EVSE, always)
We can now enjoy a little walk in the Marais ...

EVs allowed in the Bus Lane in Paris !
Yesterday, stuck in traffic with the LEAF, I decided to use the bus lane on a small portion of boulevard Sebastopol in Paris ... I usually never do this since I got caught by a camera several years ago with the Prius and discovered the automated ticket sent to my home and 90 EUR fee to pay :-(
I heard about EVs getting access to the bus lane which is a political decision that should be taken soon by the new major of Paris, Anne Hidalgo - at least she promised this during her campaign which is taking place right now -
Pulled over by a police officer waiting at the next red light :-( I thought "that's it, I am getting a ticket, and now I heard it is 135 EUR ! -; So I tried to play dumb, and said right away "I am driving an EV, I am allowed in the bus lane", twice
She then checked my driver's license and registration, everything was in order, and told me: "Mister, you don't have to tell me you are driving an EV, I can stop whoever I want, for a routine check", and added "Yes, as a non polluting vehicle, you are allowed in the Bus Lane" :-)
I was amazed at what I just heard, from the mouth of a Police Officer !
So I learned right there that I can use the Bus Lane, at least in Paris :-)
This is great news I think ! :-)
