Even if it might be a little bit off topic: Is it possible and does anyone have experience to install Brusa chargers in the 30 kWh models? The reason I ask is that I have been driving around with 2 Brusa chargers in our 2012 Leaf in Norway for 1.5 years now, and needless to say I am quite happy...

And if that doesn´t help then the Norwegian way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnX-F23wVs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I am living in Europe/Norway and have been using a roof rack with a ski box constantly for at least 15 months now. The effect on range is moderate if you keep to low speeds (below 80 km/h). Since I am mostly driving at speeds below 70 km/h (which is the max speed limit on the roads I usually...

Same is true for Europe. A 3 phase chademo compatible charger would really make live easier. Up North were I live there is 1 Chademo charger at a local Nissan dealer, probably the worlds northernmost chademo so far. However, were it is located it really doesn´t help me. I would need one while...

Hi I am currently at AHr: 67,57 (hasn´t changed since availability of Battery app this spring) "Hlth": 106.42 (has dropped from 109.xx in the same time) Gids 100% between 274 and 276 (I think the old version of the app with calculated GIDs showed 280+) 31000 km Battery temperature has been...

My maximal distance within a day is Straumsbukta (near Tromsø, Northern Norway) to somewhere between Muonio and Kolari (Northern Finland). I think that is around 380 km or 235 miles we drove altogether that day until we reached the destination camping site. We started at 00:30 in the morning and...

Nice thermal pictures! A lot of Leaf owners here in Norway, eventually also me, have insulated the expansion tank and parts of the tubing. It definitely helps to save some energy, but accessing all the tubing is difficult, therefore I haven't done any more about this. However, last winter...

Somewhere I posted a picture, but I don't remember where. However, The seats are HUGE and as I said they don't fit into a Volkswagen Passat (whatever they are called in the US) or a Jetta, but into the Leaf (and only barely). But I can even fit in 3 seats for the 5-7 year olds and they are huge...

Our third was born a month after we took delivery of the Leaf. Turned out it works fine. The only annouance is that the 5 and the 7 year old cannot fasten their seat belts alone so I have to do that (although I suspect that they could if they really tried. A 20 cm seat belt extension might be...

Yes, there definitely is a change. Now I prefer to shop at places where there are free charging stations. Just out of principle. The "free" charge is usually only a few cents worth of electricity, but some day the few kWh might be what I need to get home and then it is nice if more shops provide...

Interesting model... I really hope it is accurate on the low temperature environments. Living in Tromsø/Northern-Norway, with probably a similar temperature profile as Juneau in Alaska, according to the model I should see the Leaf battery aging more slowly than I have ever dreamed of. Good for...

Well, we don't have freeways here in Norway, but almost everybody drives faster than the speed limits. I don't, and I don't care how many cars are behind me. I usually adjust the speed exactly to the speed limit and just roll. The speeding tickets here start somewhere around 500 $ for 7 km/h...

Try to turn of programmed prewarming while sitting in the car which is plugged in. Heating won't turn off until you start the ca, but will turn on immediately when turning it of again. Now try to reprogram and stop it from warming up while the car is on. Even though you have changed the the...

Hi Rmasu You could try this webservice: http://www.jurassictest.ch/GR/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It is based on google maps and should calculate elevations into the equation of energy use. I think it has been a master project at a university in Switzerland. You can choose...
