I just read that New Jersey is now charging $1000 annually for BEV registration. I suppose California will be next!

Of course I meant a 2032. I'm not sure there even is such a thing as a 2035. See what happens when you get old? Thanks for catching this, everyone!

Yours looks exactly like mine, with the exception of the steering wheel being on the wrong side! My wife even named ours Scarlet. I do really like the wheels on yours - any indication of the manufacturer? Aftermarket wheels aren't common for Leafs, so I would love to know if yours are...

As I wrote on another post regarding key fob batteries, you might want to try replacing the 2025 with a 2035. Fits exactly, but has more capacity, so lasts much longer.

Incidentally, my 2019 SV+ has a key slot in the drivers door handle.

Amazing how these posts get off topic so quickly. Started off discussing key fob batteries, and got moved off to 12 volts. Doesn't anyone pay attention? At any rate, I note that it was mentioned that fob batteries were being replaced with 2025's. Why don't you put in a 2035? Fits perfectly...

The only time I have ever had a problem with the 12 volt battery dying after not using the car for a few days was shortly after I got my Leaf Spy and left the dongle plugged in. Apparently the dongle uses enough juice to run the battery down all by itself if you don't drive the car every day or...

I was having this problem awhile back on my 2015 SV+ using a ChargePoint EVSE. Finally determined that the EVSE connectors were damaged. Everything worked fine on my home EVSE. Just another example of public EVSE units being unreliable.

If you click on the Fermata site, you will see a reference to V2H. But if you click on that to get more info, it takes you to their fleet (V2F) power sharing page. It appears they do not have an active V2H program available at this time. Again - if Wallbox has their Quasar unit fully available...

I was told when I purchased my 2019 SV+ 4 1/2 years ago that it had V2H capability, but that the local utility (PG&E) wouldn't allow the home unit necessary to utilize it because "they didn't trust it". I know that Wallbox has a home EVSE used in Spain which provides full V2H utilization, but...

The only time I have been to a Nissan dealership in the 4+ years I have owned it was for a software update, and while it was there, I asked if they could give it a quick charge. They said sure, so I waited a half hour and then went to check on the status. I found they had it plugged in to a...

It's my understanding that B mode incorporates more regen than D mode. My car definitely slows more in B than it does in D, and the acceleration is not as quick, either. In order to use one-pedal driving, e-pedal is necessary to coordinate everything properly. Now that I am used to it, I can...

We have always left ECO on as well as driving in B range. I believe the tires will wear much better without using all the torque available, and since we are in a basically rural, low traffic volume area, we are not concerned with the amount of power available. I now find myself using E-pedal...

This is the routine I use, except that I reverse steps 2 and 3. I will try it as you suggest next time. Incidentally, I plugged in to the CP unit last Sunday, and it started right up - no problems at all. Go figure!

There are 8 dual-post stations at this facility,and 2 stand-alone. They are all low power Level 2 (6.2 aH). The connectors on some of the units will "click" in and lock when connected, while the others just slide in without locking. Doesn't seem to affect charging ability either way. I...
