Might be easier to just do the fast charge upgrade as Dala has documented I say might. If you can figure out how to get fast the charge PDM working on a J1772-only Leaf--that would be terrific. My white Leaf is J1772 only, and the PDM is the only part I really worry about having to replace...

Thanks! Here is a pic of the failed cell from my blue 2013 as it was when I opened the pack. If you zoom in on the image, you can clearly see the seal is not straight like the adjacent ones. Although this did not cause an isolation fault, this cell had lost about half its capacity, and caused...

Yes, there should be some kind of weight modifier:

Not hard at all for me. I went every where by bicycle and well do I remember holding my breath behind buses and cars with smoke coming out of their exhaust. Just terrible.

Some locksmiths can do it, but the one I contacted said he would only use a fob that he supplied. Then the missing key fell out of a pair dress pants I wear once a year--why did that make me so happy? If I ever get a new car again (hello small EV pickup), once the paperwork is done, but...

As others have pointed out, this could be tiny amounts of current leaking around a connector, or rodents have compromised something enough to have the same effect. Both could involve trace amounts of salty moisture. Working on this theory, you could test this by opening the hood and applying...

GI, Do you have access to the repair manual? You can get the 2013 manuals here: https://ownersmanuals2.com/nissan/leaf-2013-repair-manual-ev-control-system-section-evc-43003 and https://ownersmanuals2.com/nissan/leaf-2013-repair-manual-ev-battery-system-section-evb-43004 I do not know where...

Ethics change over time as new facts are learned. Burning hydrocarbons used to be just the way we got a convenient compact source of energy, but over the past thirty years it has become crystal clear that burning hydrocarbons is just terrible in so many ways, and we need to stop as quickly as...

This vehicle has an excellent warranty on everything inside the battery enclosure--and this is where almost all the problems arise with these Leaf's. If you have a major issue, it will most likely be in the enclosure. Then the issue comes with whether the dealer will a) recognize the problem...

If you search for that P33D4 code, there are links out there, for example: https://mynissanleaf.com/threads/gradual-capacity-loss-gcl.30599/ . Right now, I would not be able to say that this code is trigger by Hx, SOH, or a combo of those. I suspect there will be plenty more of these going...

That was my thought! I am wondering if there is a linear correlation between regen bubbles and Hx--although somewhat obscured by real time variation in battery resistance due to temperature, SOC, etc. So, at 25% Hx, generally one bubble or less regen available?

No blue bubbles at all on release of accelerator pedal? But you feel braking force? This may be less than one bubble but greater than zero bubble. If the car is doing what you need, that is wonderful. The low Hx and high internal resistance mean the battery will be generating more heat...

Ok, you have super low Hx, which is related to internal resistance of the battery. Lithium ion cells do this as they age, both through calendar aging and through cycling. Higher battery temperatures and fast charging increase the aging. The codes may be related to this! The red lines are...

I freely admit that after a week of thinking about this, my perspective has evolved. One strike against the current fuel tax situation is that it is established practice to raid the funds by the state and federal bureaucrats. Another is that its tacked onto billions of essential purchases...

But ICE are just a small fraction vehicle miles in 26 years if we are making even a half-assed attempt at sticking to the 1.5 deg C guardrail. Many sources for that--one from the IEA below. I completely believe the need for a much faster phaseout will become evident to everyone in just a few...

Well, if we want to do history, the maintenance of roads is one of the earliest types of local government, far earlier than the War of Independence, "taxation without representation" and our Constitution. This made sense, because the roads were an essential public property, and people were...

No, I am saying that a per mile fee would be more transparent to the tax payer, and more fair to all users. Who can be against that?

A per mile fee would be highly understandable for the driver. They would see how much they are driving and if motivated could reduce their expenses by shifting driving habits. On the other hand, a tax that is some percentage of fuel going into the car is difficult to relate to actual miles or...
