Hello,
I am currently thinking of selling or trading in my 2011 Leaf SL.
Are there websites that value EVs, and factor in battery health as part of the valuation?
My 2011 Leaf SL still have 9/12 bars and while it's an older vehicle (126k miles), it should be worth more than say the same...
Anyone else here on the forum still with their original Leaf purchase back in the day... ?
History:
Reserved: Apr 23, 2010. Ordered: Nov 30th, 2011. Delivery: July 01, 2011
Both our 2011 Leafs are now 10 years old to this very day!
Both vehicles had a 90/10 Nissan dealer assisted battery...
Hi,
My rear shocks are going bad.
Are there any better aftermarket shocks/struts replacement choices?
Ideally, I'd like to keep my OEM springs. (NOTE: I don't want to with coilover setups due to higher costs)
I would also like to try the latest Bilstein gas shocks; if they are a proper...
Hi,
I am in the SF Bay Area, specifically in the East Bay - Fremont.
I received a flyer in the mail last week about East Bay Community Energy (ebce.org).
I read some of the information, but I am skeptical about the clean power savings (which isn't a whole lot) and fear that if I switch out of...
Hi,
For a 2011 Leaf, are the corner area front bumper just a cavity, or there's an impact absorber?
I literally watched the impact as the other vehicle reversed and hit into my front corner bumper (passenger side).
My car was hit (at very slow speed) while it was parked. I saw the bumper...
Updated 3/1/2017: I only received a 24kWh battery replacement in an agreed 80/20 warranty settlement.
I am in the process of receiving a battery replacement into my 2011 Leaf.
Does anyone here know if I have received a 30 kWh pack?
There are some clues but I am unable to decipher. The...
Hi,
I have searched all the menus on the Blink evse, and I cannot find the menu to change the "Max Current" setting on the evse.
Can someone pls point me to the menu where I can change the Max current setting?
Thanks!
Hi,
I realize I am doing something wrong with my steps in attempt to clone a working Blink SD card.
Short story version: I have 2 Blink charger units. One stopped working, blank screen after the EVproject screen. I take the SD card from the working unit and swapped out from the failed unit...
Hi,
I have the first gen "EV Project" Blink EVSE ( circa 2011).
When I reboot the evse, the EV Project screen comes on momentarily, and then when it goes away, I hear a "click" sound from inside the unit and then ... nothing. The screen has a backlit, but there is nothing else.
What shall I...
Hi,
Unfortunately I have turtled the vehicle. The car is in "N" and cannot shift into any gear. Power steering is not functioning, and I have not shut the car down just yet.....
What are my options?
Right now, the vehicle is on a flat surface, about 10 feet away from a J1772 charger. The...
Not sure if I am too thrilled about it, but then again it's an option:

Hi,
Does anyone in the Bay Area have any additional info about this latest PG&E proposed rate hike? :cry:

Hi,
I searched but could not find an explanation for this.
We just recently discovered that one of our Leaf's Batt level indicator (Right side) has only 11 bars. And with a 100% charge, the Wider (Left side) Batt level indicator actually still show the full 12 bars.
I am confused.
I thought...
We have a 2011 Leaf with (26k miles) arriving at the 3 yr old mark in July 2014.
The car's been great, the 12 bar range meets all our driving needs. And, it's been trouble-free all these years.
We bought the vehicle back in July 2011, total cost after fed/state/nissan incentives was $26k drive...
Hi,
I have a 12 ft length of 300V 12 AWG 3/C cable which I would like to build an extension cord for my portable Nissan EVSE. I will be attaching suitable NEMA plug/sockets at each end.
Will this cable support a modified portable 2011 Nissan EVSE to charge at L2 (http://www.evseupgrade.com"...
Hi,
I recently had a visit from a Glacial Energy rep trying to sign me up to switch my Gas service over from PG&E. From the sales pitch, everything is legit. The only caveat I can see is the cost rate is "variable". Apparently, Glacial buys gas at wholesale and passes on to retail consumers...
I am browsing the 2GB microSD card which came off the Blink EVSE. How do you view or glean into these OS files?
File listing on FAT "boot" partition:
init.scr 1KB Screen Saver
logo.bmp 377KB Image file (looks like that white EVProject logo upon Blink boot up)
mmcinitrd.u-boot 1,787KB U-BOOT...
Hi
When locking the vehicle, the locking chime(horn sound) is apparently not sounding as before. Where do I first start looking to see what's up?
Observations so far:
1. I checked all doors and they are properly closed. (When there is no chime/horn when locking, it usually a door is left...
Hi,
Sorry for the long post.
I want to send my Leaf over to Wheelworks to rotate my wheels for me. Since Wheelworks isn't a place that is knowledgeable about the Leaf, naturally, I have decided to read up a bit on the Jack Points or "garage lift points" or "garage jack points" information so...
I saw this Thule rack on a Leaf up on the Japanese modded Leaf website:
