    Speculation on near term used 2013 Leaf Prices

    This is the latest I've seen on the 2016. http://www.franchiseherald.com/articles/35986/20150820/nissan-leaf-2016.htm I recently bought a used 2013 and we are very happy with it. The better range (if true) with the 2016 models will be great, future years will probably be even better. The...

    What is your Average miles per kwh?

    We seem to get a steady 4.3 - 4.4. And we live at the top of a very steep hill. Always takes about 3-4% to drive up it. Our 2013 Leaf has about 19.2 kwh on it which gives us a range of about 80 miles. We really rushed into our purchase but I have to say we are really enjoying it and...

    OBD2 / Leaf Spy Newbie help

    My 2013 Leaf has a setting to charge to 80% and the manual recommends it. I've been charging to 100% on days when we anticipate a lot of driving and 80% on most days.

    OBD2 / Leaf Spy Newbie help

    Interesting, I was reading in one of the other threads that to balance the batteries don't just charge to 100% every once in a while but when you do leave it plugged in for 4 hours. So last night I left it plugged in over night and now my stats are better than earlier in the thread: ahr: 57.26...

    Buying a leaf with 90% SOH on Battery

    Mine was also a lease return from California. We have had it one month and am just below 57 ahr, 87% SOH, 85.3% Hx. So ours seems to be a little worse off but close to most of those posted above. Ours is a 2013 with 25k miles. My longest trip on one charge was 74.5 miles and I arrived with...

    OBD2 / Leaf Spy Newbie help

    I am in Bellingham, WA. However the orginal owner of the vehicle was in California somewhere which likely explains it. We have been having a warmer than usual Summer however. After reading stories about all the people with 2013 Leafs with only a few % loss I have to say I'm not terribly happy...

    OBD2 / Leaf Spy Newbie help

    Just 2 days later my ahr is now at 56.91, seems like it goes down rather quickly... Looks like we'll be losing first bar pretty soon now. I was reading in the other threads linked to above, and if I am reading correctly the 2013 Leaf battery warranty is for battery to be at or above 9 bars at...

    OBD2 / Leaf Spy Newbie help

    So my OBD2 unit finally got here off the slow boat from China and I purchased the leaf spy app. It has started logging trips. My problem is I'm looking around and wondering how I use this to figure out the status of my battery and those types of issues. What stats / screens should I look at...

    Recommended EVSE Upgrade equipment?

    I have to say that after a few weeks with the clipper creek level 2 charger things are very different than with just a trickle charger. Now we can charge to just 80% over night and my wife can go out and run errands in the morning, come home for lunch and in 1-1.5 hours get from 40% back to 80%...

    Recommended EVSE Upgrade equipment?

    Before I found out about the cable upgrade options I ordered the Clipper Creek HCS-40. I was very fortunate a friend who happens to be an electrician was so excited that we got a Leaf that he came over and installed a 50 amp circuit with a Nema 6-50 plug for us. I'll be all set as soon as it...

    We jumped into this!

    Finally got to 100% charge last night and there are 12 bars and the estimated mileage range says 75. Sounds like my battery is in good shape? I ordered the gadget to connect to my phone to get stats but don't have it yet.
