Fellow central Texas Leaf owners, I ask for your help! I followed a link in my newsfeed to the Drive Electric Week 2017 promotion, and when I looked at the map of events, I saw: Dallas, Houston, San Antonio... but nothing in Austin. What?? Well, that will NEVER do. There's an Austin event page...

I'm not in VA, but for what it's worth: Apparently many Leaf techs have wrong info about the part--mine at first said that he was waiting on Nissan to send parts (not true--Nissan sends parts only when the dealer orders them, which happens only when a customer requests the upgrade). A call to...

I believe it does, but I will test when I go home at lunch today and let you know for sure. You can definitely set a schedule (one for weekdays, one for weekends); and you can initiate charging at any time from the app, assuming you're plugged in of course. There is also a hardware override of...

Happy ending indeed! Congrats on your almost-pristine Leaf!

Or if you like bells and whistles (I do and I'm not gonna apologize :P) there is the Chargepoint Home charger. I got the plug-in version with 25' cord. Love it to bits. It is internet-connected, so you can start or stop a charge session remotely with the app and have it remind you to plug in at...

I pay $4.16 a month, flat fee, to use any one of over 250 Chargepoint chargers in Austin, including QC -- zero per-minute charge. Since I visit our downtown QC at least three times a week, my cost per "fill-up" there alone is only about 35¢. My marginal cost of kWhs at home is 3¢/mile. As a...

Resurrecting this thread... The statement above was probably true in 2013 but not now. Chargepoint DC station, downtown Austin (2nd Street aka "Electric Drive," just off Lamar Blvd) - free if you are on the Austin Energy Plug-In EVerywhere program, otherwise $2/hr, 1 hour minimum. Best charger...

Nothing much to be said until you get the OBDII dongle and take a LeafSpy reading. Let us know what results you get! <fingers crossed for ya>

My city has (I think) two types of QCs: EVgo's DC charger, at $10+ a pop Chargepoint's DC charger, which is free Guess which one I use? (Oh, if you count the SMSA, there's an oddball, a Greenlots DC charger--also free--about 15 miles north of town.) I feel bad for people where EVgo is the...

Twenty-two pages of posts and only one mention of the Chargepoint EVSE, so I'm chiming in: Chargepoint 32 amp Internet-connected EVSE, choice of plug-in or hard-wired, choice of 18' or 25' cord This EVSE is on the pricey side, but it does go on sale every now and then... I bought the plug-in...

I'm fortunate to live in an area with good EV infrastructure. In fact, my primary use for the Nissan station locator is to impress other people with how many stations there are nearby. (Press button, zoom in a few times, point out all the blue dots...) Nissan really should appoint me as a brand...

Isaac, please add: DCQC - Direct current quick charge; see QC QC - Quick Charge; Level 3 charger (very fast, uses CHAdeMO connector on the Leaf, not all Leafs are equipped with it) S, SV, and SL - not acronyms but trim levels of the Leaf, in order from least expensive to most expensive. SOH -...

IMO, 6.6 vs 3.3 is one of those features that you won't really appreciate until you own -- which is why you came to a forum of owners, you clever thing you! Let's say you use 40-50% of your battery on your daily commute/errands, and then you want to go out to dinner at some "destination"-type...

Yeah, I second that, but I am biased too (see my sig). :P Really, don't fret too much over a thousand bucks either way--you're going to save that much in gasoline within a year or less. (Oh, you're in California? Within 9 months, then.) Get the stuff you need/want. You will appreciate faster...

A note to those who live in regions where Chargepoint is strong: Chargepoint recently stopped sending status info to Plugshare, so you'll have to use the Chargepoint app to check those stations real-time. Where I live, 95% or more of the stations are Chargepoint, so I default to their app now...
