Yeah, I used the wired option with fusetap to an always on circuit so that the dashcam can run in low-energy parking mode. I used one of those Viofo 3 wire hardwire kits that is supposed to shut off if the battery voltage gets too low. Maybe I have to readjust the sensitivity of the shutoff. I...

I just bought one of those Noco Battery Boost devices in case I need to give myself a jump. Hopefully I won't need to use it, but I feel better having it now.

Well, Roadside assistance fixed it up in about 2 minutes. Definitely was battery. Seems perfectly fine now. So do you all remove your OBD2 dongles when parked? I'm getting a home charger installed in a couple weeks, will plugging the car in prevent the 12 V from getting drained?

Got in my 2022 SV+ today. I cannot start. No lights, no electronics, no communication with EV Connect. I had to use the physical key to get inside. I was working from home last 2 days, so I haven't driven it. It was ~70% charge on the main battery on Wednesday night though. I heard the 12V...

Aww man. I just bought LSP to try to do exactly that on my 2022. Ugh.

What happens if your tire pressure is too high? Can efficiency go down again if say, the dealer filled them to 47 psi instead of 42? Is it dangerous?

Woot! Just in time for Christmas! I'm on the train right now to go pick up my brand-new 2022 SV Plus. I got a blue one! So excited, it took almost 2 months to find one. I feel like a kid at Christmas today. 😁

Yeah, that's why I wonder about the Ariya packs. Even if the Leaf disappears someday, hopefully something out there could still fit.

I suppose this is a reasonable prediction. I hope they keep producing the LEAF for many more years though. At least so that there will still be replacement battery packs available down the road, because sooner or later they will degrade... :?

I like this prediction!

Since the Nissan Ariya will have active battery management, how likely is it that someone will attempt to mod a Leaf with the Ariya battery pack or battery cooling components? Does anyone have any idea on how similar the two platforms might be? Or alternatively, do we expect that the Ariya...

That's so cool! I really want to see how this works. Will be following this!

Wow. How cool. So is this modification going to remove/replace the CHAdeMO port, or will this add in an extra (3rd port) for more charging options? Just wondering, because I've heard cool things about future V2G capabilities that seem to rely on CHAdeMO, so it might be worth keeping it for that.

I think that's a cool idea. I'm also looking to hardwire my dash-cam to enable parking-mode. Full recording when Leaf is on (wired to a switched fuse), and also motion-detected recording when Leaf is off (so I need to also connect a wire to an always-on fuse). Has anyone here done that in...

Yikes, that's scary. I just went and ordered a VIOFO A129 Plus Duo. I'm reading about how to wire it using a fuse tap. Does anyone know what size fuses are in the little accessory panel inside the cabin (2022)? It seems different cars use different sizes. (mini, micro, low profile etc...)
