I charge on the street in front of my row house in Center City Philadelphia using an EVSE I installed curbside on a pedestal. This is a dense area with very close parallel parking. Parking often involves bumping the car behind and the car in front. Any tips on how I can protect against the car...

Thanks for the info! This morning the car was at 49 miles remaining range, the battery temperature had I think 2 or 3 white temperature bars on top of the two blue temp bars, and I had just one regen dot on the dashboard. After driving 20 miles it varied between 3 and 4 regen dots depending on...

Is there a way via UI in car or LEAFSpy?

Where are you guys finding $8k used LEAFs? I did a thorough price search in January and the lowest I found was $11k.

I thought I'd share some math on the battery warranty. My understanding of Nissan's battery loss warranty is it warrants the car to be able to go 70% of original range for the first 5 years. The original maximum full charge capacity for a LEAF is around 281 GIDS. Turtle is around 5 GIDS, so...

Thanks lorenfb. So which efficiency number should I use for LEAF Spy in calculating remaining range, the one in Spy or the one from the dash? The former typically says ~3.6 mi/kWh, the latter around 4 mi/kWh.

Question about which mi/kWh figure to use in LEAF Spy for calculated distance to reserve: The miles per kw on the instrument panel is totally inconsistent with that displayed in LEAF Spy, and also with calculations I do based on GIDs displayed relative to odometer miles (taking 75 wh/GID). The...

I recently bought a used 2012 (U.S.) LEAF off lease, I was surprised that it doesn't have a warning sound for forward drive but I figured Nissan must have taken that out for 2012. Is that the case, or did the first owner disable the VSP? If it's the latter, how could I undo that? I live in a...

I'm thinking that when my battery is around 30deg F, I get a substantial hit to efficiency when driving (of close to 1 miles per kWh, climate control off brrr) over the battery at more like 55 degF, and I'd love to compare my experience against a standard. I'm thinking something like the Tony...
