Yep.. your car is not going to maintain it's 12volt battery... we have battery tenders at our house for this very reason.. especially winter.. we give the 12volts some extra juice on nights when we are not charging the traction battery. Good luck.

You will get a lot of codes that would be fixed by a new (or working) battery. Do you have another vehicle that you connect to to "jump" yours? if so, remember to have the helper vehicle's engine off when you connect it and try to start up your car. people get away with it all the time but...

+1 to what Nubo said. He knows what he's talking. mostly, right?

Excellent, leave it on for a good 12 hours or so. and yes, things like this can happen with a weak 12v battery. the, especially the eariler ones where notorious for not charging the 12v battery enough.

Do you have a battery tender or 12v charger of some sort? in years passed the 12v battery has caused issues for our 2012. We resolved them by using a battery tender and then replacing it all together once it was over 5 years old. Leave it charging over night at least and see if this helps...

I'd rather keep the battery for some sort of powerwall. the battery is still claiming 12 bars. A 2015 S that we've never babied

They got the steering assembly.. refurbished for $650. Still insane numbers of hours to replace. Another $700 in labor. Other parts were damaged though. Our total so far in $2,250. We've paid the $500 deductible and we will see if that is everything. Suspect that a bearing could still...

Took to a local shop I'm sort of trusting in and they found and showed me a host of other damage.. both sides had damage. The found the parts for much less than through the dealer network but also the suspension arm on the driver side was also damaged too.. not just steering arms. I'm no...

2105 S bent steering arm So, my wife was out about in the snow rounded a 90 degree corner hit and mounted the curb. Steering was off the rest of the way to work, about 1/3 of a mile. I'm hoping that I can get that part replaced.

i was looking around for a EV back in Sept 2018 and there as someone selling the same car as yours in the area for $9000 listed I approached them and offered $7500.. i didn't hear back from them and I ended up buying a BMW i3 instead. They got back to me to say that they would accept $7500...

this one is in Utah. I'm sure they can move on the price. I started a negotiation with them before opting for something else. https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/5034147

can't you just go to the OpenEVSE store and buy the wifi unit? I bought a full EVSE kit and built mine from the parts.. they have some pretty good instructions on their website to help you follow along. pretty sure the internals of yours would match mine and get you were you need to go.

i recall touring cars in the 90's had a column shifter and they would pull back to change up and push forward to go down. it seemed natural to them... seems as though people have thoughts on the same idea. But with this car.. you just want it to go forward not change up or down the gears...

you are right.. we are all jealously looking at Colorado and the rebates for EVs. if only I had some family and friends over there who don't want a new Leaf.. would be willing to get one and ship it to me in Utah.

Details?
