Seems like a reasonable solution. Is the 12V covered under an extended warranty? The car is 38 months old. Has anyone else had issues like this?

Background: I've got an early 2011 (arrived in april 2011, so i'm 38 months into ownership) LEAF with just over 40K miles. While my wife was driving the car today, the dashboard said "i-key system fault", and went from drive to neutral. Thankfully she was on surface streets 1 block away from...

Are you saying that you have been quoted much less for 5 units of the Eltek charger or the Brusa Charger? If the former, I'd like to know more about it. :)

I'm putting an Eltek on a motorcycle, so i'm (getting) familiar with working with an Eltek via CAN. I was wondering about putting one in parallel on my leaf as well. Hmmm...can you explain more about this? i admit i haven't really read into how the CAN control of the Brusa in this context...

This is very cool. I was wondering however, can you see this being done with a different charger? I've been looking to work with an Eltek Valere charger for a motorcycle application. The charger is smaller than the brusa and 3kW (http://evolveelectrics.com/Eltek3000_IP67.html"...

Yeah, mine are appearing from a different sequential number as well. This is sub-optimal. I'll leave mine for a while and hope it fixes itself.

I don't have the patch applied. I'm hoping to get a Leaf Dash Display or other gid-meter so i can get some real data before i take it in. BTW, i realized that I didn't specify that I got my leaf in April of 2011, so 26 months ago (we're doing just about 1000 miles/month.

26000 miles, 100% charge from home L2 every night. We still have 12 bars, but the guess-o-meter is usually says around "80" on a full charge, where it used to get all the way to 97 way back when. Also, we routinely get to 1 bar (<8 on the guess-o-meter) after driving between 50 and 60 miles...

Has anyone ever gotten any charge notices? I get TXT and email for "status update", but none of the other notices work at all. I just got my LEAF this past wednesday, and i've never gotten any other notice other than status update. Thanks.

this is kinda annoying and i'll put it on the list of things to ask them when i talk to CS.

That red one should be mine! (I wish...)

So, i had my AV EVSE installed today. I wasn't sure if anyone posted pics of the insides yet, so while they were doing it, i took a couple of pictures of the innards. They're on my blog (http://electriceptor.wordpress.com), but here they are too...

Think of how many batteries you could fit in that one...

Yes, there is an SD slot. Actually two. On the car shown at Boardwalk Nissan on 9/20, they were behind the nav screen. On the picture below, you can see the nav screen has been lowered. The CD slot is on top. The two SD slots were behind a plastic cover just below the CD slot on the right...

Some pics from today: Here's under the hood. Looks almost like a regular car. The 120V trickle charger: This is the tire "fix-it" kit pump which is stored behind a panel in the left side of the cargo area. The goo was in a cylinder next to it (no pic of that though). It's hard to tell...
