I've noticed that charging the battery in the 2016 seems to take MUCH longer than it did in my 2013, that time being devoted to the equalization function. It seems that a lot of time is devoted to that. Also, I often carry one or 2 of my friends in the back seat. One of them is 6 feet tall, and...

I was looking at the inductive charging outfit from http://www.pluglesspower.com. Although it looks neat, it's limited to 3.3 Kw. From a practical standpoint, it would probably work fine for me, as it would always top off the charge, every time I pull into the garage. Of course, that's also a...

I plugged my LeafDD in to the 2016 SL that I took delivery of last week. Was hoping to see some huge numer of Gids available. :-) Although it seems to be 'mostly' working, the Gids display is mostly just jumping around. The LH (hudreds) number is showing a '3', but the tens and units numbers...

Just took delivery of my 2016 Leaf SL yesterday, love it so far! Am trying to make it "my own" as the 2013 was. So far, I have my NRA front plate installed, radio station favorites programmed, and auto-lock disabled on the door locks. One thing is left, and a Search of the forum didn't yield the...

I have a 2013 SV and like to start the climate control, especially now that it's cold out. To say that it's not 100% reliable would be kind. On the phone app, I changed it to "Stay logged in to server", which seemed to help the reliability, but it failed altogether the last couple of days...

I eat lunch at a small restaurant most every day and am trying to encourage the owner to install a L2 charging station, something like a Clipper Creek. Am even thinking of subsidizing the installation, just for my own convenience. My question is, how much benefit will the restaurant owner see...

The other day, my radio had a brain fart and lost its subscription/activation information. All the presets went to "Sirius Preview". I called the number listed under the "Info" button and got a very helpful fella, but we had a lot of trouble getting the radio to take the "refresh" signal that he...

I just had a strange experience with a Nissan dealer, not the one I bought from: Was passing by on the way to a car show that I was entering with the Leaf and wanted a bit of a charge. Had called a couple of days earlier to verify that their charge station was operational and was assured that...

My location is just north of the OH/MI border, giving me some flexibility when it comes time to shop for a car. I bought my Leaf in December of 2013 from Yark Nissan in Toledo, OH. The dealer in Monroe, MI didn't have one in stock, according to the Nissan website. As my car had over 200 miles...

My SV has been telling me that I'm getting about 2.7 Mi/KWHR efficiency, pretty consistently. I'm driving fairly conservatively, but running the heater full-bore most of the time, as it's been VERY cold, most every day since I took delivery. When I installed my EVSE, I connected an old (1950...

Got in the Leaf after lunch at the restaurant, hit the Start button, she booted up with a red light on the dash lit: "Error with Electric Shift System". Wouldn't shift into either Drive or Reverse. Chimes sounding, even a steady one OUTSIDE the car. Only way to shut up the noise was to leave it...

I must be missing something: If the Leaf is charging via L2, I can turn the system "On" by hitting the Start button twice, then hitting the "Auto" button on the CC panel. However, it seems that if the charge is complete, this procedure only turns on the fan. In fact, I was unable to get the...

My VW's have a feature that I'd like to see in the Leaf: pull the [inside] door latch handle, and the door unlocks automatically. You must pull the latch handle twice in the rear for the door to open, and the rear doors have a mechanical switch to disable the inside handle if you have young...

I am half-heartedly trying to talk the owner of the local restaurant where I eat lunch every day into installing a charging station. She's in a sort of "mall" (actually an old schoolhouse with a couple dozen businesses) and it seems to me that it'd be a neat addition. At least for now, I'd...

Got my new 2013 SV the day after Christmas and am loving it. Bought a Schneider EVSE unit from Home Depot and have it temporarily connected to my welder receptacle until my new garage is built and wired. That might take a few weeks, what with the winter weather here in Michigan. Anyway, like...

Well, actually lower SE Michigan, 5 miles from Toledo, where I bought my 2013 Leaf from Yark Auto, SV trim level. So far, I love the car, but have a couple of observations and a question. The charge port door should be unlocked if the doors are unlocked. You'd open it by pressing in, where it...
