    Clicking brake noise

    My '13 does this. It's the axle shaft splines. The factory didn't lubricate them, and you can hear the stress click as they torque. Full fix is to remove the axle nuts and grease the splines. Just retorquing the axle nuts will fix it for a while, too. I never bothered with mine, just let it...

    Driver Door Handle Problem

    My '13 does this too. I've learned to pull it from behind on center. Someday I'm going to take it apart and find a permanent way to epoxy it together. I imagine it needs to stay removable to use the mechanical key.

    Residential dual charging stations?

    I have two EV charging station in my garage. It's two OPEN EVSE units. I can't see buying an expensive Dual unit when the simplest answer is to wire in two units to two circuits that are dedicated to the job. If you're leaf has 6.6 charging, that 40a circuit you already have is fully utilized...

    Duosida EVSE Just Arrived.

    I don't see any purpose in a group buy- just order one. They have a minimum quantity of ONE. If you achieved a $15 discount for ordering 20, you'd still have to redistribute them at a shipping cost of $15 each. Reselling for a profit, now that makes sense. But, you're going to find lots of...

    What is the general overview of the range extender? Is it additional batteries on board? Is a trailer based generator or battery setup? Is it a considered a permanent modification to the car, or will the experimental equipment be returned and the car remain altered in some way? I'm...

    Will battery be fixed or replaced by the 2013 capacity warranty?

    My 2013 was built in Feb'13, and purchased March '13. The battery is now at 8 bars and 41k miles. The new lizard pack is on order, and expected here this week. Driven daily in Houston, TX (hot). My idea is to continue to operate the original battery in this summer heat and install the new...

    Running a cable from 12V battery to inside

    There's a unused rubber grommet that's perfect for this application. It's located on the passenger side in front of the glove box. In engine compartment it's directly behind the wheel well. You can feel it easily, even though it's hard to see. This long discussion covers the entire topic...

    Charger won't charge due to button

    This just happened to my OEM EVSE for my '13 SL. The EVSE handle release button doesn't come back up so the car sees it as having the release button pressed at all times and won't charge. It should be a simple mechanical fix but the handle can't be disassembled without total breakage. I tried...

    Dead Battery / Updated Programming?

    Yep, power loss = systems memory loss. You'll probably also find that the drivers windows express up doesn't work anymore either.

    Goodbye LEAF, hello...

    Your Leaf has a new battery coming right up under the 5yr/60k capacity warranty. Selling it now would mean a substantial loss, and the next owner will get a great car with a perfectly new lizard battery this year
