    2019 SL Plus

    You will find that pretty much all BEV's beat all gassers off the line until you stop accelerating.

    How often do you drive without ECO?

    I prefer Eco off but B mode for the aggressive regen braking. I don't really see any difference between my 2015 and 2022 Leafs as far as use of Eco mode.

    Seeking advice on buying a Leaf Plus

    In 1.5 years of owning a 22 S+ we have put about 24K miles on it with several short road trips. Our 70+ MPH freeway range is right around 200 miles but we generally try to QC at around 150 miles. Like all Leafs doing more than 1 QC in a day is usually significantly slower on the 2nd and...

    Winter Trip Report - Reality Check - How Am I Doing

    I never worry about daily use under 50 miles even at 3 bars lost and almost 84K miles. I use the seat/steering wheel heater and limited heat pump as needed. Very reliable trouble free cars. I swap with my wife for the 22 S+ when I need a bunch of range and we love the S+ for medium road trips...

    I broke my "primary" 2018 LEAF key ... where to go to add a new key?

    Not quite correct. The height is actually H.Hmm so a CR2016 is 1.6mm, a CR2025 is 2.5mm, and a CR2032 is 3.2mm height respectively.

    Adjustable EVSE

    I liked my Zencar EVSE and used the 24A setting on a 30A circuit many times until it failed to live up to it's IP55 waterproof rating and died. It was under my carport roof but must have gotten some rain splashed on it. I was shocked to find out that Zencar does not consider failure of the...

    used leaf comparison

    You may want to expand your search area. I bought my Leaf from your area (Passport Nissan in Alexandria) and hauled it home on a trailer. The following CarGurus with a 500 mile radius search found many options in your price range. I set it to 2015 and later because the 2015 has the best 24KWH...

    Using a battery-powered generator to extend Leaf range?

    The inverter in the URL comes with 2 7.5Ah 56V batteries and can take an additional 2 of the same size for an additional $700. Total Wh is 4 x 7.5 x 56 = 1680 Wh. Given all the inefficiencies in the system you would not even get 1 KWh into your battery. Simply finding even a level 2 EVSE on...

    Lost Another Bar. Did My Actual Range Suddenly Decrease?

    If your wife finishes the round trip commute at Low Battery Warning or Very Low Battery Warning, she needs to figure out where she can charge when it gets to the point of not completing the trip.

    Recommended LED Low-Beam upgrade for 2013 Leaf S?

    After 3 years these are flickering on low beam, which is what I use most of the time. They are also the loudest thing on the otherwise silent car when running at night. I have ordered a different brand and will report on them soon.

    What's this 2016 SV worth?

    Wow, another DC area cab Leaf with the same paint job as my car. Mine did not last more than a few weeks because they figured out that without a QC port it would not work as a full time cab. I got a great deal and have enjoyed the car with a unique paint job in the Tidewater area of Virginia. If...

    Did I get a good deal? 2017 Leaf for $9,200

    You have 75K miles and about 6 years before the 100K miles/8 year battery degradation warranty expires so you have plenty of time to use the vehicle.

    2015 Leaf SV Offer but nervous

    My 2015SV is at 46K miles and 11 bars happened back in October. I have not bothered to have the clicking of the axles lubed because it does not bother me. It has been a great car for my family and should continue to be for years to come.

    miles to go estimate pretty inaccurate

    I concur about being too easy to go too fast. In 2016 I took a 2013 S model on an extended test drive to see if a Leaf would be suitable for my then 54 mile round trip commute. I was speeding any time I was not watching it which made not having cruise control a deal breaker on that S model.

    Leaf needed to Jumpstart frequently

    If the battery is not shot, you might try disconnecting the shunt wires that plug in at the negative battery terminal. When that is disconnected, the car in run mode keeps the voltage up at about 14V much longer than when it is plugged in.

    Question on Battery for Used 2015 Nissan Leaf

    Assuming the 70KM is round trip (almost 44 miles), a 2015 with 1 bar down will do that without any issue for years to come.

    Leaf for Family Car

    The Leaf is a great family car. My 2015 SV can seat up to 4 adults and 1 child comfortably. We use it for all in town errands whenever possible.

    Leaf Plus will not connect to wifi

    Why would it connect to your wifi? Do not know of any Leaf that does.

    MOTOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS...CANT DRIVE VEHICLE

    Unless your 2015 has over 60,000 miles the drive train should be covered under warranty.
