Even if your not from Massachusetts you might be able to help me with my issue. In theory the ChargeSmartMA app is supposed to track when I charge during offpeak hours at my home and rebate me $0.05 per kwhr I charge. To setup I connected to my National Grid account and allowed the app access...

Thanks for link, no issues doing it myself if I can get something that will bolt up. Looks like I can get one with a 2" hitch opening and that would be ideal as my hitch mounted bike rack is on a 2" tube and has the trailer extension.

This is my first car ever with no spare or option for a spare, not sure how I feel about it but do have a small tool bag in trunk with a plug kit, plyers, knife, and compressor to fix if its just a nail in the tire. For anything else I do have 100 mile AAA towing and would just get towed home or...

this thread has got me thinking I might want to add a hitch to my leaf. I have two trailers, one is a 1-7/8" ball that is a converted jet ski trailer that is setup to carry kayaks and is setup for around 500lbs max weight. I was going to scrap this and only keep the big one, its a 6'x12'...

Honestly for me it was never an issue for my daily, I retired a Toyota Yaris that was stick shift and no working ac. Gas never really cost me that much and averaged 35 mpg at 80-85 mph highway driving. For me the overall cost of ownership / gas vs electric cost is still more with electric vs...

HAHA that is me, I live in Massachusetts and if your not going 80 in a 65 your are pissing off a lot of folks, so my average before this car is honestly 80-85mph. I found with mostly highway I was getting 2.8 miles / kWh but with cruise set to 65mph I'm seeing around 3.5+

Will probably get the leaf spy at some point, just did my longest commute today. I go to an office some days and various job sites others. This one is 95 miles mostly highway each way. I set car to charge to full charge around 6am and started my drive soon after that. I pretty much used the...

Thanks, that makes sense. kind of like how Tesla got sued in some countries for over the air updating to charge to a set max and it then in theory reduced the range. I might be searching more on here smart charger options to have more control over how it runs. Also long term I would like to get...

Thanks for the clarifications, still don't understand why they don't have a stop charging at % charge option and you have to do the math and put in a start / stop time... It seems like a pretty useful option that a company making EV's for so long would have done by now. I think my summer...

Okay newbie here... So had my leaf for a month now and have no idea B mode is a thing.... I set it to eco and the epedal but are you saying it's been hiding a more efficient mode all along? I was actually thinking the epdal is pretty mild regen braking and similar to down shifting a manual car...

In Massachusetts the rate is pretty much the same for what they charge / pay but its not a daily or hourly rate. Its a net meter read once per month. So If my panels ran the meter backwards during the day for 100khr then I drew 50kwh overnight to charge my car it would net - 50kwhr. I had a...

I'm having trouble with this as well, do I really have to manually check the onboard guestimate calc bar and then manually reset the charging time for that night when I get home? I've tried this and its been hit / miss but if it does charge to 100% and I drive it 2 hours later does it really...

Seems like a lot of factors here but did a very small test with my new SV Plus. I got it at the end of December and live in Massachusetts. I drove it the first month pretty much driving as I normally drive. I traded in my Toyota Yaris manual that I drove from 2018 to 2021 and took it from...
