Its gone now. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Bump

No updates as of October 2023. Think its forever gone.

Anyone interested in a 16" spare tire please PM me. Totally FREE and no catch. Just want it gone as I no longer have the LEAF and it could still be useful to someone who take their LEAF on longer trips. Never had a need to use it by the way. Thanks

Wow! Thanks. I didn't think the trip computer would keep updating efficiency once the miles counter reached 999 so didn't bother anymore with it. Will try this. Thanks

I routinely drive more than 1000 miles a month and the dash sadly clocks up to 999 miles for the efficiency tracking so this is not an option for me. I used to use the reports contained in the app but Nissan dropped the whole Reports section some time ago in the app which made it almost...

Yup. I'm quite happy with the range/efficiency. Usually drive about 100 to 110 round trip and consume about 55% to 60% charge and 5-6 hours overnight L2 at home gets me back to 80% ish... Perfect car for my use pattern.

SoCal user here with 90% freeway use. I usually drive with the traffic flow which means most of the times 70 or 75 mph. Averaging about 3.7 m/kWh

Agreed Bolt is the best value for $ right now however a better deal might be to buy a used Bolt with brand new battery since they were all recalled last year to address the battery fire issue. Potential exists to get a near brand new battery car for much less now that the used prices are coming...

Is there any data confirming that DC charge is really bad for the battery? All other conditions being similar, ie 20% to 80% charge and no overheating due to repeated charging is there any data showing DC charging hurts the battery anymore than L2 charging?

Very good point. I think Nissan failed to capitalize on its early (LEAF) lead and now its no different than the other established brands in its offering and one could say its even behind as delivery numbers don't seem to be up where Ford & WV and Hyundai/Kia etc are.

Agreed. Its a non-starter

Thanks for the inputs. $52K no rebate will be a tough sell in view of the revised Model Y pricing as well as all other new makes/models in the market.

The menu item for Reports is still there so I hope this is a bug or oversight. Fingers crossed I too used the reports very often. Shame if they remove it.

I believe you are right however in all my 10 or so fast charges in the last 1 year I have not come across any charger that delivers that speed. I charge on EvGo occasionally and almost always the charge starts around 47kw and then tapers down as the SOC comes close to 80%.
