So it looks like the nominal numbers are: 24 kWh battery, max expected Ahr is 60.6 30 kWh battery, max expected Ahr is 77.5 40 kWh battery, max expected Ahr is 105.6 62 kWh battery, max expected Ahr is 167.6 Thanks.

What is the maximum (new car) AHr value from Leaf Spy for each battery size: 24 kWh 30 kWh 40 kWh 62 kWh Thanks, Ron

I've got a 2015 S, just under 25,000 miles, still with 12 bars. I drive about 500 miles per month in the Chicago suburbs, my average speed is just under 25 mph. I generally accelerate at 2 - 3 bubbles and I always use B mode. Tire pressure is 40 psi. I rarely use the friction brakes, As...

I agree it's everything mentioned. But my guess is that it's primarily the transition from winter to spring (i.e. warmer temperatures) , which results in more miles/kWh. I have pretty consistent usage, back and forth to work. On a monthly basis I record my miles/kWh, and I see a pretty...

I've got a 2015 S, just under 25,000 miles, still with 12 bars. I drive about 500 miles per month in the Chicago suburbs, my average speed is just under 25 mph. Last July I started tracking miles/kWh monthly: Jul - 7.2 Aug - 7.1 Sep - 6.9 Oct - 6.5 Nov - 5.6 Dec - 5.1 Jan - 4.9 Feb - 5.1 Mar...

One example of the greater good you could share is EV100: https://www.theclimategroup.org/project/ev100 A company can join by making as little as one public commitment, such as installing charging infrastructure at its locations by 2030. The positive publicity may help sway a decision-maker...

Hey Amiel, You can buy a multi-voltage (120/240 volt) multi-current EVSE pretty cheap, check-out https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=12489. And it's nice to have two, in case one fails or just so that you have one at home and can leave one in the car. Ron

Give them a low cost option to start with, just some outlets (120 and/or 240) and dedicated parking spots.

You don't need to wait for a 2018 Leaf, an 11 or 12 bar 2016 Leaf with the 30kWh battery should meet your needs. They are out there, check TrueCar, Carmax or Carvana. Selling your old one and buying another used one should cost you $2,000 - $3,000. Much less than buying a new car. I agree...

You are beyond the steepest depreciation for your current Leaf. The value will continue to slowly decline, but it's not going to take a steep drop just because you've dropped to 11 bars (or when it drops to 10). To avoid the steep depreciation of your next EV, consider keeping your Leaf until...

Hi Rigatony, There are a lot of multi-voltage, multi-current EVSEs on Amazon for $250 to $400 that will work for you. On this forum, go take a look at the EVSE / Charging Equipment and Networks sub-forum to see previous discussions: https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewforum.php?f=26 Ron

I just replaced my filter yesterday. My back is still sore. I did not remove the glovebox, but I did remove the panel below it (just pull down). I was able to remove the clip by sliding the top slightly off, then gently twisting the bottom latch with a small screw-driver. I used a mirror to...

All my charging is level 1. I typically charge when I get under 40%. I charge from a 120v outlet in a parking garage at work, which usually gets me back to around 80%. My commute is 25 miles round trip, and I usually end-up charging 2 – 3 times per week. I do charge to 100% about once a month.

Hi Idallan, Why not just skip using a timer? When it's low (under 40%), set it for immediate charging and plug it in early in the morning. Then if you unplug before you go to bed you'll be close to 90%. And if you forget, charging to 100% periodically is not bad. Ron

There is a concern with a car sitting on the dealer lot for a prolonged period of time, if they keep it fully charged. That can degrade battery life. Someone with more skill and experience than I have would be able to assess this based on LeafSpy data. But if two cars are otherwise the same...
