Air condition my garage?!?!? I have a 3 car garage, it's probably 800 sq ft. Air conditioning it would add hundreds of dollars to the cost of my electric bill and would cost a fortune to upgrade to add this capability. This would completely negate the reason for buying an electric car (to save...

Hahahaha I totally agree. I am not concerned with babying it. I will be driving it over 20K miles a year. I just wanted to extend the life as best /easiest as possible. I am not looking to spend a bunch of money. The whole reason I got this car was to stop spending $2,800 a year on gasoline.

Not to be flippant but I'm going to be anyway. Sigh... I think people that don't live here have a gross misunderstanding of the weather/climate in Arizona. Let me reiterate that I am looking for advice from long term leaf owners in Phoenix on how they have worked to best care for their battery.

Unlikely to buy anything that leaves a window open. We have severe monsoon season during the summer with dust storms and intense monsoon rains. I don't need my car full of sand or water.

The car is white with a black cloth interior and the windows are tinted. I picked white because it reflects the most heat. I'm buying a sunshade for the car as well. I had one in my last car and it definitely helped out.

I work for a very large organization 50k+ employees. My input would mean very little. I petitioned them for 220 outlets I am more hopeful that will get approved than covered parking.

Funny enough I thought about that very thing but I am 100% certain they would not allow it. Especially once monsoon season rolls around. It would just fly away and damage my car and the cars of others.

I drive 90 miles a day round trip. I absolutely have to charge my car at work. We have about 2 dozen spots for charging EV's ( trickle charge) . There is shade from trees but it isn't all day. The car is garage kept except when being driven. But Phoenix garages can get crazy hot. The spots...

I have a 2014 not a 2016. I have no plans to baby it. I drive 450-500 miles a week in it. I didn't say the battery was more heat tolerant and I didn't see anyone else say that either so I am confused by the this comment.

I drive 90 miles a day round trip, only have a trickle charger available at work so I absolutely have to charge it all day while I am at work. It may not be an option to not charge it when its 110 degrees here.

All, I live in the Phoenix metro area. purchased a 2014 Nissan Leaf S last Thursday. I am loving the car so far and have done lots of testing of the battery with Leaf Spy Pro and its quite healthy for the mileage of the car(Car was bought from Orange county, CA). What are some tips for summer...

Gerry, Leaf Spy Pro said that AHR was 55.6, SOH was 85 and the Hx was 83.6. Pinnacle Nissan is a few mins from my work, Auto Nation Nissan in Chandler has a fast charger as well. From Auto Nation Nissan Chandler it is 8.7 miles to my house (I live right near Power Ranch). I am installing an L2...

Ok so I bought the car. I have an OBDII tester arriving tomorrow and I have a 5 day 250 mile period in which I can return the car. Is it possible to test the battery adequately using leaf spy in this period to know the true state of the batter? I am driving to work tomorrow (90 miles roundtrip 8...

Another question the 2014 Nissan Leaf S I'm looking at has 41,000 miles on it. The battery ahr in Leaf spy is 55.6 and the SOH is 85% but it's showing 12 bars. That seems off to me? The range says 72 miles with a 99% charge. Is this good?

Yes it's a 120 volt outlet at work. I don't know the amperage but I can find out tomorrow. That quick 220 is genius!!! What portable 16amp charger do you recommend? I don't think I could use the quick 220 at work as I'd be hogging two charging stations but I could definitely use it at home until...

Hey all, I've been lurking in the forums for a bit. I am looking to buy a 2014 Nissan Leaf S with the 6.6KW charger, DC fast charge port. The car is from Southern California and still shows 12 bars. Hoping to pull the trigger on this in the next few days as its coming off lease and is...
