A thought. Down hill, Bumpy road (it doesn’t take much), Regen will cut out giving the sensation of acceleration. More brake pressure needed. All of my Leafs have done this, see sig for history. This might not be it but thought I’d mention it. Greg

Hi, EVs have pretty instant climate control response. Also most of them let you precondition the car from a smartphone if you have one. In addition if you have a set time you a planning to leave you can set a timer for the climate control. Range loss isn't too bad with AC like folks have said...

Thanks for sharing that video. It presents areal world vies it seems for a folks that are looking at or are new to EVs. Tire pressures. I use the provided air compressor that comes with the car. If you leave the car on when you top up you will get a single horn honk @ 36 and a triple at 41psi. I...

Yes I know that one. There is another on the hill in Berlin along with all the Tesla Superchargers. I wanted on this occasion to start with a charge that would have me arrive at the Hampton Inn WRJ one with a reasonably low charge. 34% in this case. I also wanted to run at 70 mph for the whole...

Older post but it reminded me of the concepts I use. All these modes are tools. Like the gears on a standard transmission car. We are free to swap around with them depending on driving conditions. For example if you're on a long gradual down slope dropping to D only will allow great coasting...

Morning All, Concerning studded snow tires. I also live in Vermont and almost all of my driving experience has been here. 40+ years. I've found that the tire you choose, like the car, should fit your normal application. If you live well off the main paved roads and have to climb much you might...

I believe the UK cars have an option the US cars do not. The ability to set a max speed in addition to the various cruise and assist options. Having never seen a UK car I don't have direct experience. There must be some internet info about the use of these controls. I would think you would...

This is the only thread I found, with digging forever through search pages, that seems to be about ABRP directly so, I have been using it for trip planning on recent trips and it's estimate of battery usage are spot on. Always within a couple of percent. If you are honest about you expectations...

I had been wondering if donating was possible. I had never scrolled down on their about page. The software is so easy I never needed to look up anything. There are donate buttons on the bottom of that page. Definitely worth it. A lot of work went into this.

There is a great trip calculation tool - abetterrouteplanner.com This lets you pick your car and set numerous parameters for your trip including weight. The software will then route you through charge points with charge time and travel time estimates. Put in a common trip you make and play with...

Took a trip Sunday 3/1/20 Outside temp 11def F for the trip down and 17degF for the trip back. Studded Cooper Evolution tires @ 40 psi. From the car's trip comp; 3.1 m/kWh, 94.2m 35mph avg 2:37 trip time. I ran enough heat to be comfortable. Although the car reported 35 mph avg speed I mostly...

Hello, Might be obvious but was the car on in ready mode when you plugged it in? You mentioned that you say the snowflake and could read battery temp. I apologize If I misunderstood but the car won't enter charge mode if it's on. Greg

@ dmacarthur Do you remember the outside air temps on the days you got those numbers? I think the -13 F was dropping my efficiency a lot. That and since my daily use is very short 5-6 miles. my battery wasn't really warmed up may be. How was the Quick Charge rate in the cold? Yes there are a...

Morning All, 2019 SV+ 200 miles ODO, Trip from Montpelier ,VT to Burlington VT. Round trip 74 miles. Outside -13 F for first leg. 2.7 miles per kWh from the car's meter. At start battery temp was blue only at the red dot before the change to white. I should have done LeafSpy readings but didn't...

I have found the network connection path between the phone and the car to be finicky. The app uses cell service or wifi ( I think) to contact Nissan's servers then their system contacts the car. I have found if the car has compromised service or my phone does the trigger won't work. I'd say 75%...
