    Worth upgrading a '12 Leaf or buying a used Chevy Bolt?

    That's a very good point. Can you explain - Why won't the new 62kWH battery age better than my original ?

    Worth upgrading a '12 Leaf or buying a used Chevy Bolt?

    I currently own a Gen 1 '13 Leaf (approx 65k miles), where the battery only gives me 40-50 miles per charge. Which isn't enough for my commute. I'm considering - a Greentec battery replacement/upgrade to 62kWh or sell my Leaf and buy a used '18 Chevy Bolt which also has a 62kWh battery...

    orig 2013 Leaf S - convert to Bluetooth?

    My current display has BT only for phone calls, but not audio. Is there a fully BT model that I can plug/play swap my current one. without need of any new harness and wiring. i.e can I simply buy the new full BT radio, unscrew mine , and plug in and screw in the new one? To compound the...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Cost - For the +24 mi Total Cost (with the Delta Max)2khz + 2 batteries and cables, etc) is approx. $3,250 (bought refurbs) (would be less with 1 or 2 batteries) Concerns I fit them all in my trunk, However, the problem is that they are heavy - not too heavy - I'm can carry 2 at a time, but...

    Can the battery be replaced on 1st Gen LEAF (Jan 2011)

    approx. how much did it cost total to replace the battery entirely - incl. labor? Also - since the car is 11-12 years old, if I replace the battery with a new one. What other costly car issues does this (EV) car normally have (i.e. OK with up keep and minor repairs, but don't want to have a...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Update - I tried it with 1 Delta Max 2kh + 2 add'l batteries (2kh ea.) + a $20 grounding adapter from Amazon) and it added 24 miles! I think though that I'll switch to the Pro model b/c it allows charging from a EV charger. So when home, I can plug my EV charger into the battery , and connect...

    Can the battery be replaced on 1st Gen LEAF (Jan 2011)

    Can they put a newer battery in the 1st Gen (Jan 2011) Leaf? Approx. how much would it cost? If not can it be repaired (to fix range down to 45 mi)? I heard of a mechanic that claims that he can do both, I don't have any references Is this possible? Also - since the car is 11-12 years old...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Q - They have a feature on the Pro models - where you can combine 2 Pros together and output 220v. (https://us.ecoflow.com/products/double-voltage-hub-ecoflow-delta-pro) Thus presumably would cut charging time in half. Is there a relatively easy way to connect the leaf to this?

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Thanks Nice article Though for me personally If the permanent solution is a LOT more. I’ll go with the temporary solution and it’s worth it if it gives another 3 years How many miles would 2 delta pros add to my battery if I charge for 6 hours?

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    re: Rube Goldberg I was told that since I have the original (before Jan ) model Nissan Leaf, that I can't upgrade my battery. Is that true? Can I simply upgrade the battery? How much would that cost ? Or woudl it require a full battery replacement - and how much would that cost? Can you send...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    How would the "math" (i.e. miles added) if I went with 2 Delta linked Pros (same 6 kWh) (instead of 3 linked Delta Max) Please see their specs (at bottom of the page each Delta Max 2000 - 2016Wh - 6 outlets, 2400W total (Surge 5000W) each Delta Pro - 3600Wh - 5 outlets, 3600W total (Surge...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Thanks, that would be AMAZING!! It would be like have a new car for approx. $3k and the generator could be used for double duty for the house during blackouts (and probably sell it after a few years for $1k). The $3k (or $2k) is definitely worth it for me to wait out the current car bubble and...

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    No apologies needed. That's what I was hoping for So what's the bottom line estimate -of how much miles (or % of my 2011 Nissan Leaf battery) would be added to my battery if I charge for 6 hours using the ecoflow Delta Max w/2 battery add ons (totally 6kWhr)?

    Using an electric generator to recharge during work hours

    Interesting idea. However if this is feasible, I'd like to add range to remove the range anxiety even during the summer months and allow me to drive 60-65 instead of 50mph

    Not that I can use - plus parking is far from the building
