Very interesting; Love all of your comments. knightmb - good encouragement. No mountains thankfully - mostly flat terrain. Traveling from Cleveland to Columbus (Ohio). I believe Leafspy reported that I'm getting 4 miles per HWH. Sagebrush - Wet roads and elevation changes shouldn't be an...

Hello All; Need your advice asap. I am planning a trip tomorrow in my Leaf that just lost one bar recently. The whole trip is about 120 miles total with a Nissan dealer (With a charging station almost exactly in the middle so I have two legs of my trip, each going 60 miles with a charge...

Thanks all for all of your good suggestions. I'll give them a try tomorrow morning. Tim

Hello all; Can someone tell me the location of the OBDii connector on a 2016 Leaf "S" trim from the United States? I have seen numerous pictures of a removable panel being to the left of the steering wheel under those two banks of about 8 buttons. However, unless I'm missing something, I don't...

Thanks all; Luckily I have CHAdeMO so can do fast charging if one is available on my route . I just got this car to get my feet wet in EVs. I love it so much (Except the range) that I am saving up for a new generation EV late this year or early next. Then I'll use my current Leaf for just...

Hello All; I am about to plan a fairly long trip - Well longer than I usually take (Ie. 120 miles) and I am in the process of plotting my route to visit a charging station say every 40 miles along my route. I have at times visited a charging station that wasn't functioning. Since there is a lack...

LeftieBiker; Read your FAQ's. Very interesting. I was intrigued by the procedure to heat a early Leaf with the very power sucking resistance heating by lowering the fan setting to minimum. Does this really reduce the drain on the battery as compared to full fan power? I thought of that a long...

Thank you very much; That's very reassuring. I'll have to measure the range (without the heater used) the next time after I fully recharge. Tim

Hello All; I recently lost one bar in my 2016 Leaf model "S". For those of you who have also lost one bar, can you tell me what effect this has on performance or range? Is the range less? If so, how much? Reason I ask is I am planning to take a road trip in the winter (30 degrees) and am...

Getting more fustrated with Nissan's decision not to use a Digital Speedometer in their 2018 model. Unless they change back to digital in 2019 or 2020, I'll consider the Chevy Bolt which I expect to be similarly priced with the Leaf upgraded battery. I have heard of others similarly frustrated...

Hello All; I initially contributed to this post when the 2018 Leaf was introduced with the silly analog speedometer among everythng else digital. After driving my used 2015 leaf for over 6 months now, I can definitely say that my opinion about Nissan's decision to put an Analog speedometer in...

That's interesting; I drove gasoline cars previously and never noticed a problem. Not sure why I'm just noticing a problem now. Perhaps I would have more cues when creeping like engine noise which I don't have now. This is one thing that comes to mind. Tim

Hi all; I've had my used 2015 Nissan Leaf Model S for a few months and I discovered an annoying problem (annoying to me, anyway) that I didn't seem to have with my gasoline car that I just got rid of. Can you confirm this is normal and let me know what you do to prevent it in the future ...

So informative everyone - Thanks. I will run some more tests though next time I'll let my battery get down to 20% or a bit lower. Everyone seems to have the same message - it's not the EVSE but the car that determines the charge time. Tim

Hi All; I just got my new Juicebox Pro 40 today and tried it out. My 2015 6KW Leaf was charged up to about 89% when I started charging and after about 45 minutes, I decided to go in the car and see how much % charge remained. It was stuck on 98% for the longest time - maybe 10 minutes. Is this...

Hi All; I finally decided to go with the Juicebox Pro as it had really good reviews, seemed very popular, is UL listed, had Wifi and seemed like a good, durable unit. I seriously considered Clipper Creek but just didn't like the design that much. I also felt I'd get a 40 Amp unit rather than a...

Hey all; Thanks for the responses thus far. The general thought seems to be that all EVSEs are reliable though I have read some reports of apps over wifi (on such capable units) work better on some units than on others. I have another question ... Some EVSEs advertise as being 30 Amp, Some...

Hello All; I need to get a charging station as I have an appointment to have 220V run into my detached garage this Wednesday. I am curious as to what brand some of you on here have and how you like it and it it's reliable. Also if it's worth it to get a system with Wifi. I am looking at...

I will have to experiment some more but it appeared when I didn't travel on the freeway, I had more battery percentage left than if I did. It seemed to be pretty dramatic to me. I probably traveled about 60 MPH on the highway. Even the side streets were pretty fast, averaging around 50 MPH...

Hello All; Well I took my road trip this past weekend and learned so much about the range of my 2015 Leaf "S" and also had one terrifying moment that ended up fine. So here's a description of my experiences ... Lots of learning and discoveries here for newbies ... 1. It took me a long time...
