    So how much battery will I eat with a junk trailer?

    With no info budgeting double but I guess it might be higher. I’ve got to do some freeway driving in a move. I’ve got an open to trailer I’m gonna fill with boxes. The trailer is not huge. Single axel. How bad will it be?

    A cabin air filter came in the mail

    It says C28183 on it. This is the only marking aside from the maker, “excel”. Is this an air filter for a 2019 leaf? Do I need to change it? How do I change it?

    TOPDON “US” charger appears to be Canada only

    the cheapest 40kw charger I found on amazon with 208v capability was by a company called topdon. It was less than $300, but had software issues. There was waaaay too much personal information asked for, it hacked my Wi-Fi, (connected to it without me giving a password) and then didn’t work...

    Backup camera sometimes black

    Searched “backup camera black” under the assumption that it’s a “you pushed this button didn’t you” type of thing but I’m not finding anything. Sometimes when i backup the gauge bar is there and the projected direction is there, but the background is totally black. Like the camera itself is...

    Key Fob Weirdness

    Why is there a cut key inside my fob? There are no keyholes on the car. Also, why does the thing read “no key detected” after i change the battery? It’s like i killed by key by changing the battery. Gonna have to use my spare. UPDATE: spare worked fine. Battery was literally new out of...

    Uninformed question about the main battery

    What is the chemistry of the leaf main (traction) battery? I know it’s got individual cells. I think they’re 18650s though they might not be. So I guess I’m asking about the individual cells. Are they NiMH? LiPOD? Li what?

    The big plug on the “granny” charger that comes with the leaf-what size?

    I vaguely recall a NEMA 14/50 plug but it could be different. Is it?

    Is there a NACS to chadmo adapter out yet?

    It would be real nice if I could get an adaptor to hook my car up to the Tesla supercharging network. Especially since things seem to be moving from css to nacs

    Looking for training on how to read leafspy

    I got the app, and there are some useful things I can get from it, but it’s still a mass of mysterious graphs and dials to me. Theres probably a website or video or something that explains what it all means and how to tell what from the information given, but I haven’t found it. Any suggestion...

    LeafSpy pro had 54 alerts

    2019 sv I still don’t know how to read the battery graphs and the dials are near meaningless. So I see 54 in a red circle and I get worried. It’s gone now though. More weirdness. Anyway, adding screenshots of LeafSpy. Maybe someone knows what is going on.

    Anyone see that Toyota “water”BS?

    There are YouTubes atm suggesting that Toyota is developing an engine that runs on water instead of gas. So yeah, perpetual motion machine. It seems Toyota is “allowing” their testing to be misconstrued to hurt electric cars. THEY’RE not saying it’s true, people that read their reports are...

    Is it me or were those people in Chicago idiots?

    There was all this news about people having their cars freeze in the cold. This makes sense because NOT HAVING YOUR OWN PERSONAL CHARGE PORT STIKES ME AS ASSININE. If you can’t get get one DON’T HAVE AN ELECTRIC CAR! For one the cost of electricity is vastly higher. I pay ~18¢/kwh with a home...

    Have people made power walls out of old leafs? Not just Leaf batteries, but leafs

    One of the cooler and most unused things about a leaf is that it can more-or-less be used as a battery bank. For your house. Not 100% sure how this is done. It brings up the possibility of just tossing the rest of the car though and using it ONLY for that. I’ve seen DIY power walls made from...

    Can I get a bigger battery for my car when this one dies?

    I’ve got a 2019 leaf with the smaller battery (140some miles when it’s warm, 100mi. In the depths of winter) it apparently also came with a larger battery which would be occasionally handy. It’s not worth trading out my battery now, but when it dies in a few years can I put a bigger one in? Or...

    Do I need to keep my key in a coffee can and arrange an armored pocket?

    I’ve got a 2019 leaf. I read that electronic key fobs are turning into a serious security risk because stupid engineers. (Or bean counters who wouldn’t allow the engineers to do it right, or whatever) shouldn’t have been a problems in the first place (encryption is a thing, guys) but while my...
