    Is NissanConnect EV down?

    Yes, it's an excuse, but they stopped allowing to log in electric cars made prior to 2016: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitas.android.nissan.carwings&hl=en&gl=US " LIST OF COMPATIBLE MODELS: - Nissan LEAF produced between November 2015 and May 2019 - Nissan e-NV200...

    Is NissanConnect EV down?

    No, it seems is due to the 2G shutdown that is being done by the Telecomunications Companies. In the Europe case, Telenor. But that's a mere excuse, because you could replace the TCU with one that supports 3G/4G, etc. and they don't accept this solution. They want us to stay disconnected from...

    extra 12v outlets and LEAF-to-HOME at the same time

    The problem here is that the V2H in the Nissan Leaf was designed to use the CHAdeMO connector not the Type 1 or Type 2 connector. There's another company that also do this kind of feature: https://fermataenergy.com/how-v2x-works Cheers.

    Are there any benefits to fully cycling the battery periodically (full to turtle)?

    This won't work. At turtle level, the resistance heater and air pump are switched off and can't be switched on again to save energy for the electric engine. Even when the Nissan Leaf traction battery hasn't enough energy to move the wheels, the traction battery isn't completely empty. With less...

    Are there any benefits to fully cycling the battery periodically (full to turtle)?

    Let me expose some facts regarding this myth about the Nissan Leaf not calibrating the battery cells. That's simply not true, the Nissan Leaf always calibrates the battery cells at the end of the charge. Hadn't you notice, that when you charge the car and you check in the application that it...

    The Best, Least-Known Tips & Tricks

    First of all, this was done in a Nissan Leaf 2015 Accenta model that has the navi and this kind of Air Control: The 0 air speed bar only works for external air and can't be used on A/C or Heat modes, but you can control the flow direction as I show on the following photos (sorry for the dust)...

    The Best, Least-Known Tips & Tricks

    Hello, I'm surprised no one mentioned about the trick for manual Air Control that can be set to 0 (0 it's not the same as OFF) and that saves energy by configuring the least strenght level for air control. I'm going to take some photos this noon of my own Nissan Leaf because I've searched to...

    The 2021 guide to upgrading a 2015 Leaf S radio

    Charging protocol

    I don't have any problem on doing more tests :) just tell me about. One more test that I thought is to try this same thing but using the Air Condition to push cold air (like in summer) instead of hot air, and check with the OBDII if the main battery is used on that operation... Regards.

    Charging protocol

    Sorry about the darker LED "Power" light but it seems that finally it's the same orange color. I felt it darker because of the lights at my garage, but yesterday I activated it from the application connected outside and it's the same orange tone. But what I also did to check this, was to connect...

    Charging protocol

    It's from the 2011 Nissan Leaf owners manual, but that applies to my Gen1 2015 Nissan Leaf. I use my 220V-240V Nissan Leaf Type 1 travel charger, it's similar to this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/E54AAOSwz59hlHEv/s-l1600.jpg but with european schuko connector to charge my car every day at...

    Charging protocol

    Hello, I'm a Nissan Leaf Gen 1 user, and sorry but you're wrong. The Nissan Leaf Gen 1. also uses the preheat from the charger, not from the battery as it's explained in the Nissan Leaf Owners Manual (page 4-6): Only for clarification. Regards.
