Correction : verified that this is not the case. i.e. pretty much in any other state, if I press the brake and then press power, car does go into READY state. will try out what planet4ever mentioned above.

Wow! need to read through last few posts carefully, especially thorough posts from cwerdna, thanks. meanwhile :): Hey Nissan, how did you manage to mess up the THE most important button in the car so badly? Whats with disabling 'READY' unless brake is released. You have 100 other buttons in the...

Engrish aside, Nissan seems to forget this is not a traditional internal combustion car. It is one thing if tried to "recreate" traditional car experience and did a good job, but seems be very inconsistent. A traditional car has "ON" and "IGNITION" positions since we don't need the inanition...

I think you are right. I was half way through the manual and always seen ACC and READY modes mentioned. 'ON' or LOCK are never mentioned. The page you describe is actually page 290! That is way deep inside, haven't reached there yet. I agree dealer should go through this properly. That said...

I tried to reproduce this handlful of times (in a safe place, usually parking lots). It happened yesterday. I still don't know exact steps (something like press parking, turn off, and then on). This time I tried multiple times to shift to 'R' or 'D' with my foot clearly on the brake. I took a...

just ordered LCS-25. LCS25 directly connect, I will try to get 6-50p installed so that it be convenient to unplug if necessary or plug in something else in future.

What is the plug/receptacle type for http://www.amazon.com/Nissan-Plug-In-Residential-Charger-EVSE-RS/dp/B00BJ5W9HW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://www.amazon.com/Siemens-VC30BLKB-VersiCharge-Electric-Vehicle/dp/B0083ZZFEA"...

Good advice. Will be sure to ask about the license. May be "I will take care of the city permit" might be a good test to see if the electrician is charging too much. I don't think I need an extra permit and my utilities has already signed off on additional load (PG&E, over email). MikeD: I...

smkettner, thanks for the link. Exactly what I was looking for. I haven't decided between evupgrade and Clipper Creek LCS-25 yet.

Thanks. I will ask for additional 40A circuit. The circuit breaker pannel is full. Not sure if that precludes additional circuit. I will call the electrician. He did some ceiling lighting work at my house before, not very sure how professional he is. Any suggestions for "plug type" I should...

Car: 2013 Nissan Leaf S with 6.6Kw charger upgrade. Existing wiring : Basement room and garage have common wall. the electric panel is in the basement room on the wall shared with garage. Dryer plug is NEMA 10-30R, rated 30Amp, located in the basement room, not convenient to access...

Which adapter is this? My dryer outlet says "NEMA 10-30R". I wish evseupgrade.com had better info. FAQ has no mention of this.

RegGuheert, I will check it and report back here. GeekEV, I should correct my statement : After initial trouble, I did turn off the main switch and turned it back on, since I didn't know what to do. cwerda, I have been driving manual car (CRV) till now (for > 10 years). May be I didn't press...

I didn't turn it off. I only put it in Park by pressing 'P' on the joy stick. Thanks. It is good to know I should have brake pressed while turning it on (though I do it by habit).

Can elaborate? Does "green car sign" turns on only when the brake is pressed? Could you explain a bit better what caused the issue I saw, certainly not obvious to us. Others here are saying we need 'depress' the brake.
