That's because they missed the obvious connection of the QC station itself. Everyone thinks that if a QC station is advertised as 100 kW that it magically is identical to all other networks and stations. The reality is; it is not. 😲 I've already tested and documented this exact issue years ago...

Experience trumps logic on this one. It is possible, I have proof. What you are getting incorrect is that it can't keep this level of power for very long because as the battery heats up and the SOC climbs, it will have to taper down at some point. So on the technical point, the Leaf CAN NOT...

I can give context, this is my Leaf. This picture was taken at a 500V ChaDeMo station. The first issue is the time estimates are wrong because the Leaf does not show charge times less than 5 minutes, even if only 1 second remains before the next "mark" is reached. Long standing bug in the Leaf...

That would suggest that you do indeed have a real issue. Somewhere in the battery pack, thermal expansion during charging is touching the outside of the shell. The best way to test this and be certain; have everything ready to measure the isolation voltage the moment it charges to 86% and the...

I know it does technically, but I had a few simple rules I followed. I never QC above 80% SOC unless I'm on a road trip and need the extra range. I only charge to 100% SOC with L2 only (which is frequent) and only if I know I'm going to start using the battery within a couple of hours of 100%...

As usual, I like to post superstitious mileage and LeafSpy pictures. ;) Yes, I need to clean my dashboard glass, the sun made that very apparent. :LOL:

I agree, the battery looks to be in very good condition. It still has 37.6 kWh of capacity according to the BMS, so assuming the BMS is probably charging to 97% of that, should easily have 35 to 36 kWh of driving capacity or about 140 miles (225 km) to 175 miles (281 km) of range under ideal...

I've had the same experience for over a decade of Leaf driving and here is what I believe. As with the 12V battery in an EV, tires for an EV were not a good match with the already existing technology designed around ICE vehicles. You'll notice how vastly un-even wear is on the front versus the...

I can't imagine the fix being anymore than either a new camera with new harness secure points to keep the cable from being flung around when you drive / open / close rear hatch, etc. Unless the weak point is further down in the wiring somewhere where a cable is being nicked by a metal edge while...

It does in the sense that a cold battery won't be charged to the same level as a warm battery. So if a brand new 40 kWh Leaf battery is able to have 39 kWh of energy put into it at room temperature, this is going to be reduced when the battery is colder via the BMS tracking power in and power...

I probably have enough screenshots to write a (how to) for this, that might be better than to keep copy/pasting my same response in every topic it comes up. The only downside is that it won't fix any actual battery issues, but it's a good starting point to troubleshoot issues such as this when...

Electricity is needed to run gas pumps too, so it would not make much difference if you drove ICE or EV. Gas stations are easier targets in my opinion than trying to target every possible power outlet. One gallon of gas will get you further in an EV via generator than straight burning it in a...

Now you know why... ;)

Is it from the same company that made the CCS2 to ChaDeMo adapter?

The Leaf Plus weights more than an ICE pickup truck. Provided the proper towing accessories are attached and safety secured within the class weight limits, there is no reason to fear towing. The Leaf is not rated because no one at Nissan bothered to do a rating, but you'll find that for most...
