I didn't know Nissan had increased the price so much, dang maybe we did pull ahead. Yeah I would never spend $8k just for a 24kwh battery.
400v should scare you, it can easily kill you. If you know a bit about what you're doing it's not hard to manage but never get too comfortable around it. As...
That cell was stronger and it seems the car is doing just fine. I don't drive it often, but from what I hear it's working just fine and the range and increased dramatically. We can take it anywhere in town and back (we live about 8 miles from the edge of town) and it's perfectly usable. It...
Good question, the answer? We didn't really test it too much. It was like 6 months ago but I remember my dad saying that he was able to drive the car around our neighborhood for a good bit after the GOM hit zero and the car died. I don't remember the exact number but I think he said he could...

There are the error codes.
I did not check the voltages before trying to charge but I did check the overall pack voltage before I installed it into the car. If I remember correctly it was about 380ish volts.
I was planning to drop the pack again and take a look inside to see if anything...
A few weeks back I purchased a 2011 Nissan leaf from Arizona. As you might imagine the capacity in the battery wasn't great, but I got the car for cheap so I didn't care. I was getting about 20-30 actual miles on a full charge. However, 20 miles is barely enough for me to drive into town not to...
