This is what i don't get about these companies. Nissan is a US $130bil company (15,000 bil yen) , their profit in 2015 was US $8bil. Alll we want is another menu option that allows us to: a) turn on/off creep b) set default drive mode either D or ECO c) set the regeneration value Piss poor if...

After 4 months of ownership, the vehicle has done 25,562km, here are some stats about my range. Note the values represent Wall to Wheels consumption, the Leaf can only show Battery to Wheels consumptions, so while my Kw/Km is 0.197, the Leaf shows it is 0.15 on the Dashboard display. I'm only...

As a first EV, I love my Nissan Leaf, but things like this regen issue really baffle me. Let's take a look at 6 years down the track. 2010/11 Nissan create this car and it is the first one. there is a lot of consultation but in their wisdom they decide to build it "like" an ICE so that it does...

Ok, so I purchased a 2012 Leaf and loaded LeafSpy Lite to test it out. ODO = 21,912km, SOH = 85%, Hx = 82.19%, SOC = 93.8%. The leaf stopped charging reported it was finished (2012 does not have SOC meter, so no idea what it thinks the SOC is). Is LeafSpy reporting SOC as a value against SOH...

Great chart. Can I work the range like an ICE vehicle? eg: in my ICE I have instantaneous fuel use, l /1OOkm if I get 5l/100km I know I can go 150 km(1/4 tank). So can I see instantaneous wh/km? Then if l drive and get the low wh/km I should be able to judge my range pretty accurately.I always...
