So here is a quick guide for any 2011-2012 owners wanting to connect OVMS to the TCU to activate remote heating/cooling. This is achieved by following this schematic: Start by removing the glovebox. It is held on with 10x philips head screws. You also have to pop off the side cover on the...

[MOD : created from this thread: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=31154&start=10#p614031] I think this forum needs a sticked wiki that explains what is possible with Leafspy and what's not. So you are looking to upgrade the battery in your LEAF? You've come to the right place for...

Hi, Since I've now done battery upgrades & power upgrades, it is time to move on towards charger upgrades. The development in Europe seems to be >90% CCS for new quickchargers, so we need this for the aging LEAF platform. I'll be doing the first pilot vehicle over the winter, I'll post video...

Making a new thread here to be the de-facto one for people interested in tuning the LEAF for more power to the pavement. Please note that a battery upgrade is needed. The tiny 24kWh pack has a 225A fuse inside it that limits continuous load to 90kW. So upgrading to a 40kWh pack is kinda...

So I thought that I'd make a thread about this, welcome to follow the journey! So the first thing that is now ongoing, is a 7.2kW solar install, that will be feeding into a Fronius Symo Gen24 5.0kW inverter. I made a video on the installation, will make a follow up once we commission the system...

Hi, So I have a customer that is eager to get fastcharging after having a 40kWh pack fitted. Now getting a Chademo charger fitted seems easy at first(same as 3.3 -> 6.6kW retrofit), but then some issues pop up. Maybe this can serve as a guide if it is succesful? So parts needed - Charger with...

So something I saw some time ago on Muxsans twitter, was a HV cable with some water coming out of it. Link here: https://twitter.com/muxsan_ev/status/1247466803846135809/photo/1 I didn't think much about it, but then I ran into the same thing on a customer car https://youtu.be/V4GZ_kVN2Dw If...

So something that I found lacking was that there was no Wikipedia page for the Nissan EM electric motors. Since there has been massive changes over the years, it would be good to have some place with all the facts gathered. I created a page that is currently in draft state...

I've hacked in a way to display SOC% on the oldest 2011-2013 LEAF! The solution wasn't as elegant as I'd hoped for 😂, but now I don't need to take out Leafspy to check the SOC anymore! More info in the description for anyone curious :D https://youtu.be/LuiKp4wjlpQ

Hi, just completed installing and getting my EVSE certified, it's an EVLunic Pro specced up to 22kW! I installed it with 6mm^2 wiring, so the wiring is up to the task, but unfortunately my main fuses are 3x25A, so I had to turn the EVSE down to 3x16A. But it should be plenty fast for me :D...

Ending 2020 with a bang 💥! Finland's first BMW i3 battery upgrade was completed 29.12.2020! This vehicle got its range doubled! https://youtu.be/3tAs21zhjkQ

So I'm building up a 1991 Nissan NX to be LEAF powered. Might be interesting to tag along? :) In this episode I get the vehicle into the shop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSjmS2s5ITs

Hi all, recently put together a video on hypermiling strategies for the Leaf, along with previewing a no-regen mode. Thoughts? :D https://youtu.be/-2LhAVmEWUM

The hidden world of chinese battery upgrades Okay so here is something interesting. Nissan made a Chinese only market BEV, that is called the Nissan Sulphy. Take a look at that picture, it looks so, normal! Why EU doesn't get something like this is perplexing. The english Wikipedia page for...

So this is a feature that I think should have been mandatory on the Leaf, since it increases safety tremendously. I was so upset that this feature wasn't there, so I added it myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6fHHyJBMu8 Here is a link to the software for anyone wanting to try it at...

So I thought I would dump this valuable information freely https://github.com/dalathegreat/Nissan-Leaf-BatteryPairing This should remove the P3102 code that manifests itself when you swap main batteries between Leafs. I do need some brave testers for this, so if you are doing a ZE0 24->24kWh...

AKA Air leak inspection So here's something that's good to know when testing used batteries. I recently examined the 40kWh that is soon going into a customer car, and found a small puncture in the top casing. After informing the customer, and then repairing the small puncture, it was time to...

Hi, I recently found this excellent video taking a deep-dive into the Nissan Leaf reduction gear housing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxJTEXxveUg Summary, seems like there are two versions of the gearing 7.94:1 for 2011-2013 ZE0 (White interior) 8.30:1 for 2013-2017 AZE0 (Black interior)...

So I have a -10 Leaf with a charging issue, might be the common diode problem? Car won't charge on OEM Nissan 8A 240V charger. When you plug it it, no lights come on. Car succesfully charges on Chinese 16A 240V charger. But sometimes it you have to plug it in twice. With the chinese charger...

So I've got a 2010 JDM Leaf that I'm starting on now to get the heat going on. On the info display no power goes to heating It throws 4x fault codes I'm planning to check the fuse first, and I've got a replacement PTC coming in the mail. Maybe this has been overly documented already, I...
