When I had the traction battery replaced in my 2011 (8 SOH bars @ 115,000), it was approximately $2,800 installed (my contribution) in 2017. The only mod they did was to change out the mounting brackets, as the newer 24kWH batteries mounted slightly differently. The cost of the battery without...

Did a quick search but did not find a post. Does anyone know a way to update the navigation in my Leaf? Can I use a current map download from Nissan for a newer car?

Interesting idea..... Do not forget to take into consideration how heavy the car is versus the terrain you will be trodding across!

Both of our Leafs are also serving us flawlessly! I look at a vehicle as a tool to use in my life and not as an investment. Therefore, I will keep them for the purposes I bought them (work transportation) until they finally are deceased. So, the resale value has no effect on me and, in fact...

My actual experience owning a 2011 and a 2014, disagrees with some of the battery recommendations discussed in this forum. The 2014 is at 9 bars with 132,000 miles and it is charged to 100% and discharged to about 10% twice daily. The 2011 with 172,000 is also operated the same way although it...

@badcar: you are a perpetual Leaf poo-pooer equipped with disinformation. Find another EV forum to rant in. This one is for helping Leaf owners navigate Leaf ownership whether good or bad.

The car is most likely protecting itself from a high voltage danger. If the charger, heater or any of the high voltage modules are misfunctioning, the car will stop charging to prohibit further damage. You may want to make an appointment with your Nissan dealer.

Everyone. thanks for your input. Again, these are my observations based on my actual experience with these cars. My method of care has worked well based on the time and mileage returned by both cars.

3.8 to 4.3 in cold weather and 4.8 to 5.3 in warm weather.

Here is my EV life-long experience and response for Leaf poo-pooers out there after nearly 14 years of ownership. 1) Leaf was never designed for long range replacement of your combustion vehicle (you already know this). Most of the pollution comes from inner-city commuting and short trips...

I have a 2011 and a 2014. I have never had this issue. My bars have always been accurate based on LeafSpy's SOH reading.

@pocketandy - what was the cause of those two codes? I have this problem now on my 2011.
