I just purchased a 2018 LEAF SV manufactured 3/2018 USA. I am having a problem charging it with my 240v SPX (now owned by Bosch) EVSE. The EVSE is detecting ground fault leakage current exceeding 17.5 mA. Charging starts, but stops after a few minutes due to detecting the leakage current. I used...

The EV TV guys have been spending their time lately on reverse engineering the (CAN) interfaces to OEM EV components so that they can be used in conversions. The LEAF drivetrain is one of their targets. You might want to checkout their efforts and/or contact them. http://evtv.me/

I had the charger reprogramming (P3227?) done yesterday on my LEAF. One of the listed enhancements was correcting some incompatibilities with some EVSEs. Guess what? Setting just an end timer now works fine with my SPX Power Express! :D

Maybe "pie in the sky", but what if Nissan modified the battery rental program such that you could terminate the program at any time, but at the time of termination you would need to pay: (((bcpt) - (bcos)) / (bcps)) * (price of a new battery pack) where bcpt = battery capacity of the rental...

I have owned (not leased) my 2012 LEAF for 17 months now and have 9500 miles on it. I really like it, and it easily has the range that I need. Since my battery temp rarely exceeds 5 bars, and I only charge to 80%, I expect my battery to last quite a while. With that as background, I have to say...

Chelsea, Andy Palmer stated that there is a known instrumentation (gauge) problem in the 2011 and 2012 model LEAFs that was corrected for the 2013 model year. Can you ask for more details on the problem and if a fix is going to be released for the 2011 and 2012 LEAFs? (I don't think this has...

My SPX Power Express works fine with my LEAF except that it will not work when only setting an end timer. It seems like that is one of the best ways to charge, so it is disappointing that this does not work.

Chris, Just a small note that the referenced web page has a typo in the URL for the 75A contactor: it has "hhttp" instead of "http". Steve p.s. Thanks for producing such and excellent product!

I think one problem with the 120v outlet L1 charging at work is that if it is used regularly, then I think the outlet will "wear out" due to the insertion / removal of the plug resulting in progressively worse contact, perhaps eventually causing a melted plug. The J1772 connector was designed to...

Thanks!

I have not had my Leaf very long, but I seem to have changed something so that whenever I start my Leaf, it downloads and reads (via voice) 3 recent efficiency information messages such as miles / kWh the previous day, highest regen in the United States, etc. This was cute at first, but is...

Did SPX ever fix this issue? If so, what was required to get the fix? (I received my Leaf two weeks ago. I have the SPX Power Xpress, and it has this issue.)

Or you could use a very small USB flash drive similar to this one: http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/verbatim-8gb-store-n-stay-usb-flash-drive-97463

Recieved our Brilliant Silver 2012 Nissan Leaf SL Tuesday (1/17) in upstate NY. Love it! My dashboard date had been 1/20, changed to 1/24 a week or two ago, and then I received the call from the dealer this past Monday (1/16). A pleasant surprise! :D

Recieved our Silver 2012 Nissan Leaf SL Tuesday. (One of the first in Upstate NY?) Love it! The amount of information in the manuals is a bit overwhelming though!
