I can tell you that at about 1.5 degrees further north in New Brunswick I lose about 1/3 range when we are in the -10 to -25C range in my 2015, less so (1/4) in 0 to -10. In summer I'm pulling down 100-120km with little effort, but in deep winter on the same roads I am getting about 80-90km...

Switching A to B with the trip odometer has no effect on regen mode. It is just a trip odometer display. Switching from D to B (and entirely different B, much larger) using your shifter in the centre console DOES affect regen mode. This B is for Braking.

The A and B are not modes, they are your A and B trip odometers. You should notice that when showing either that there is a milage right beside them. Press and hold the trip button and which ever odometer is showing will reset to 0.

Limited shelf life? They're LiPo batteries...not a potato and two nails from junior high school. They have a service expectancy measured in YEARS. What sort shelf do you envision here? Good grief.... The variance in the build process is exactly why there will be a change over to the 30KWh...

I've had my awesome Leaf for six weeks now. For the first four weeks or so I charged nearly exclusively via the L1 charger (some full, some partial), with a few partial charges at public L2, and no QC at all. I got Leafspy working about three weeks ago. On that first day my Ahr/SOH/Hx were at...

Soooo jealous... There are two L2's in Miramichi, three in Bathurst (and two of those are AddEnergie/Flo...so really Quebec). Not a single QC until Truro, NS. The good news is my newly arrived *working* OBD dongle tells me I have 98% SOH with 1 QC / 981 L1/L2 lifetime. I'm waiting for my L2...

My 2015 SV with combined (H13) Halogen (blech!) headlights does indeed have a QC port.

I'm only 20 days into my Leaf experience but I find something strange (but good) happening: I'm losing weight. Full disclosure, I am actually trying to lose weight! But, with the Leaf, I find myself parking at one of the two L2's in town and walking up to 2-2.5km to my destinations. Pretty...

Seems to me there are two disparate questions - one in the subject and one in the body. To answer the one in the subject line, not really. The trickle charge will trickle approx. 24KWh into your battery over a long time. The L2 charger (be it a 16A or 27.5A) will push that same 24KWh into the...

Thanks Berlino! I got over my range anxiety and bit the bullet. Bought the local after over a month of hemming and hawing about it. So far all signs point to happiness! Glad to hear about the -20C range. I will (and already do) use the preheat/precool when plugged in. My locale prevents...

Took possession of a new to me 2015 SV w/34k km a few weeks back. Paid CA$25,000 on the road with full brake service, all weather mats, and a brand new Nissan/Aero branded EVSE thrown in. That works out to about $21,700 pre tax. Turns out the brakes only needed to be cleaned up (still plenty...

Thanks Berlino and LeftieBiker. The offer of a 2013 is interesting if only I wouldn't need to stop and charge between Quebec and Riviere-du-Loop, and then 5 more times at Rimouski, Trois-Pistoles, Amqui, Dalhousie, Bathurst and Chatham to get home. Only three of those seven are quick chargers...

I am trying to talk myself into a used Leaf my local Nissan dealer brought in in northern NB. The nearest authorised dealer is 120km away in a different city but these guys say they wanted to try one out to see if there was interest. Despite the complete lack of any chargers around this city...
