It likely keeps the inverter and motor cool and provides coolant to the cabin heater. There is no recommended coolant change until you hit 15 years or 120,000 miles.

Drew already told you to go to You Tube and watch one or two videos on how to change the cabin filter in a 2019 Nissan Leaf. The replacement videos for the 2018 or newer Leafs should be the same. One video will suggest you remove the glove compartment box to get to the filter. Another video...

Well it's the same part number as the Purolator filter I ordered on Amazon. Nissan recommends you change it once a year. The amount of driving and local conditions my allow you to change the filter less often.

I believe Ford is suppose to start sending out adapters next month. We know they should work, as "Out of Spec Motoring" has tested the preproduction adapter Ford sent them. The preproduction adapter also works with the Rivian. So outside of the short cable issue, you should be able to use most...

No annual inspection in Washington state. The emissions inspections where removed years ago.

The production bodies are now showing up at the factory. I believe they still are planning to go into production by the end of the year (2024).

Our gas tax is currently 77.22 cents a gallon, includes federal tax. It takes roughly 291 gallons of gas to equal the $225 we currently pay for the EV road tax. So if you drive less then 7,275 miles you are paying more then someone driving a 25 mile/gallon car. So the EV tax rewards folks who...

Well they can offer an option, verified odometer reading or a set annual fee. I think most folks would choose the fixed annual fee unless you drive very little.

I suspect they will increase the EV road tax and eliminate the purchase credit. They will probably start applying a road tax to hybrids too.

I'm a bit surprised that the timer didn't clear if you disconnected the 12 volt battery.

I drive less than 5,000 miles a year. I'm getting screwing by the Washington state EV tax! Unfortunately, our brain dead governor vetoed the legislation that would have fix it.

Washington is $225 a year.

Washington state charges $150 a year plus an additional $75 a year that currently goes to paying for charging locations until July of 2025. After July 2025, the $75 goes into the motor vehicle fund. Hybrids get charged $75 per year. The current fee structure rewards road warriors and gas...

never mind

I think I would disconnect the 12 volt battery and then reconnect it. It's easy to do, it can't hurt, and maybe there is a very small chance it may fix it.
