Ok so, I've managed to get 42K miles out of my stock Ecopia tires, but think that I'll need to bite the bullet and replace them in the next few months. I don't want to mess with my range (as it decrease it any) so I'm going to be sticking with the Ecopia tires. Tirerack has three different...

So a friend of mine with a 2013 Leaf (MFG 6/13) just lost his first bar two days ago. He doesn't have a battery app so I took a reading. What I found was kind of strange. I wasn't able to take a reading at 100% so had to extrapolate max GIDS and kWh. This was taken about a day and a half after...

Someone posted this on Facebook indicated that their dealer in Texas had installed a 30kwh battery in their 2011 Leaf. Think there's any truth to this or is the guy just trolling? I son't see how he got the GOM to get to 143 even with a 24kwh pack? Maybe its set to km instead of miles?

So I ran the numbers on my 2015 S, MFG 4/14 (26,500 mi) and my buddies 2013 S, MFG 7/13 (31,000 mi) and they were strangely similar in some ways and very different in others. My 2015 269 GIDS 20.85 Kwh 97.38 SOC 86.3% SOH 87.3% HX 57.18 AHR 70.8 degrees His 2013 249 GIDS 19.30 Kwh 97.3% SOC...

Does anyone have a chart that details the specifics for when various cars drop their bars at specific AHR and Max Gids levels? Since the 11/12, 13/14. and 15 cars have slightly different batteries, I'm wondering if there's different charts for this. To the best of my knowledge there haven't been...

I found some interesting data on my pack after taking a reading last night. Let me know what you guys think of the below assumptions... I got home last night with a low 18% charge. I know it was nearing the 17% switch since I'd been driving around for 1-2 miles with 18% on the dash. So I took...

I really can’t take this anymore! Too all of you at or below 400% of the federal poverty line (for a family of 4, that’s $99,000/year), you now get a free car! Oh no, I’m not kidding. If you live in either the greater LA area or San Joaquin Valley regions, you can get anywhere from...

I really hope that they make the 30Kwh pack fit into MY11-15 cars! if so I'll keep my 2015 much longer than I originally anticipated. MODERATORS NOTE: This thread was originally split off from here due to large divergence in topic. -drees 2016 Nissan LEAF Information - 30 kWh ?!

So I've started to drive my MY15 in D mode more frequently than B mode. I was always under the impression that B+Eco was the best for range and efficiency, but it seems like that's not the case. My average efficiency in B+Eco was 4.7mi/kwh and my average efficiency in D+Eco was 4.9mi/kwh. I've...

Here's the question of the day... "What annoys you most about driving an ICE car?" We are a 2 car household (the other is an ICE - Hyundai Sonata) and while it has been good to us, I find the driving experience in the Leaf much much better. So for those of you who still have ICE cars, what is...

Ok, here's what I'm thinking... I noticed that there's conversation being tossed around about raising the federal tax credit to $10K for EVs, and while I would be one of the people who could benefit from that on my next purchase, I'm inclined to shy away from it for 2 reasons. (1) It will never...

Not that there's a good deal of 2015 models out there, many with mileage over 5,000 miles, including mine, lets get some posts on how you are charging the car and what your readings are. On the battery thread for the 2015, I am noticing a lot of owners who are charging their cars in ways that...

http://insideevs.com/bmw-i3-battery-module-costs-1715-60-8-modules-per-car-total-cost-13725/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Check out the article above. Nearly $14,000 for an i3 battery pack which has nearly the same capacity as the LEAF. If I owned an i3, I'd be freaked out...

Hey everyone, I guess this may be somewhat of a newbie question, maybe not though. Can you drive in B mode all of the time or is it just intended for going down hill. I mainly ask because I've noticed that if I am driving a constant speed, say (45 mph) on a flat road and shift from B mode to D...

So, if I understand it right, when the Leaf hits 200,000 units sold, the $7500 federal credit starts rolling off and over time phases out. My question is, when will this likely happen and is it model specific or manufacturer specific? Will a Gen2 leaf start fresh? If not, what if they call it a...

I'm trying to get a handle on how to predict the drop of my first bar on my 2015 Leaf. Granted I only have 3400 miles on the car, but I'm trying to interpret the data to figure out how many miles I will get with 12 bars. I'm not sure if the car modifies the distribution over time or not. (ex...

When we bought our leaf, the manager of the dealership seemed to think that in the future, there may be replacement batteries sold with increased range? 110 miles+. I looked at him with a sense of skepticism as I don't see how this would be a good business move for Nissan. My guess is that no...

I'm a new leaf owner and starting to get the hang of a few tricks of the trade. As I'm sure most of you have noticed, 100%-90% charge goes pretty quickly. I'm guessing that this is because it doesn't allow you to regen much back into the full battery. I tend to drive almost all of the time in...

Hey everyone. I just bought a WiFi reader to check stats on my 2015 Leaf and am wondering if any of you can make sense of them for me? I am using Leaf Stats for iphone. I have a 2015 S model with 1500 miles on it. The dash reading was saying 81% charge when I took the reading. 231 Gids 17.9 kwh...
