Much thanks for the good advice.

Any thoughts about leaving my Leaf unused for two weeks? Charge level? Attach to charger? Appreciate your comments.

Nubo, thanks for the reply. I did have other Leaf apps, but removed them all. Hmmm, let me go back and check. . I was able to stop it by going to my Leaf preferences online & unchecking the Status Update box. Kinda sucks because I'd like it to work "normally" again.

Suddenly two days ago, emails every half hour from Carwings that say "status updated". Anyone else experience this? I haven't edited my notification settings either online or in my Leaf. Any thoughts?

Here we go again... Who said anything about leaving the vehicle unattended while using the quick charger? Read carefully before posting...

I don't see the change-over from free that others are describing here. Aside from Nissan HQ (which will likely remain free), the other Level 2 free chargers are either local govt subsidized or underwritten by retail and hotel chains as an accommodation to their customers. The commercial Blink...

Am I detecting the beginnings of a trend - QC Rage? :)

Glad this thread is getting back on track. Yes, I am curious about charging strategies & the implications of attempting total QC charging (which I am NOT intending to do). That said, I obviously have made use of the QC facility at Nissan's HQ and, oddly enough, made nice acquaintances with a...

I understand your point and agree. We're fine, Phil - if you read my original post, I never stated that I intended to actually use the QC daily as my sole source of charging. I was far more curious as to what might be the consequences of that strategy. Let's move on.

Agreed. And what sincerely is my last post on this matter, how you describe the use of this accommodation is exactly how I have and will use it. Thanks for your objectivity.

Ray, I appreciate your reprimand, and your unabashed desire to push this discussion to another level. I have no doubt that Phil is the most valuable person on this board, and that he needs you to defend him. That said, your condescending demeanor and self-righteous declaration (yes, I said...

They're just jealous of our unique relationship with the Mothership ;)

I'd add that there are numerous Level 2 Blink (and others) in our area that are free of charge. Some are on local gov't property (municipal parking lots, court houses, city hall), some are in retail outlets parking lots (Whole Foods, Kohl's), some are next to chain hotels. I would assume that...

Phil, you are clearly barking up the wrong tree here. Again, your assumption that the privilege of using the QC is equal to abuse is ridiculously presumptive. If you've got a bigger issue to discuss (oil use, etc.), I'd save it for someone who cares to challenge you on your thoughts - I really...

Great, buddy. Thanks! :)

The presumption that I am "hogging" a spot, not allowing other drivers that desperately need to QC for an extended trip is duly noted and, even though ludicrous in its proposition (seeing as you have no idea the circumstances of my use of the device, its location, the time of use, etc.), I'll...

Thanks for all the great answers. So the best strategy, assuming that use of the Quick Charger is cost-free, is to charge daily for the approx. 20 minutes it takes to get to 80%. The weather here is variable, chilly in winter, mild in spring and fall, hot most of the summer. And yes, the...

We have access to a Quick Charge station in the neighborhood. Any thoughts regarding daily charging to 90% of battery capacity vs. trickle charging to 80% or 100% of battery capacity?

In reading through the manual, there are a couple of evidently contrary recommendations regarding overnight vehicle charging. On the one hand, it didn't seem to be advised to leave the trickle charger attached to the car overnight after charging was completed. On the other hand, the manual...

If you have an iPhone, go to Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb. You can set a time were only calls/texts from your favorites list can ring thru during evening (or any other specified) hours. Or no calls or texts at all. Also, there's a preference that allows calls thru if there are...
