Is OVMS available in the US?

Thanks! Yes, I'm very happy with the outcome.

New 40 kwh battery installed under warranty in my Leaf this week 2016 SL with 65k miles Timeline: Dec 2022 - purchased used for $11k cash April 2023 - battery health dropped to 8 bars 4/21/23 - inspected by local Nissan dealer, approved for battery replacement under warranty, battery ordered...

I appreciate your time in crafting such a thorough response, which seems to me to sum up the situation well. I share your frustration and disappointment. One aspect that is particularly difficult is that (at least I think, apart from this issue) the Leaf is a wonderful vehicle. I relished the...

Totally confused. A few months ago Nissan only offered me eight grand and change for my 2016 SL with 65,000 miles.

I agree! I am in line to have a 40 kWh brand new battery pack in my 2016 SL which is in excellent condition. I don’t see any reason why I should except any price lower than what it would cost me to buy a comparable car.

Used, but I don’t think that is relevant. Nissan did not ask that question.

We lost our 4th bar recently (see prior posts), and Nissan corporate also told me they have no ETA for a replacement battery and that they would like to buy the car back. After giving them several documents on the car, they offered us $8,310. This seems much too low, so we declined the offer...

A few more details about my experience at the dealer. When I arrived, the exact same guy I had spoken with over the phone on the day prior acted like he didn't know why I was there. I had to explain again about the battery health, 9 bars, etc. Then, the first thing the dealer's maintenance...

My dealer took over 3 hours.

Brought my Leaf into my local dealer today. They took about three hours to look at the car, and at the end of it, they said, Yep you qualify for a new battery. They said this is the recommendation of their leaf expert.(they had some specific term for the person, I can’t remember.) They said they...

Dropped the 4th bar today at 65.06% SOH! I will be contacting Nissan to start the process.

Awesome, thanks for that info. Yes, I did check the firmware version before I bought the car, but will verify again. The update had been done. [Update: LeafSpy shows “4NP4C” for HV Battery, so from what I understand that means the car has had the LBC firmware update.] I’ll try to remember to...

Hi all, I have a 2016 SL purchased used in December 2022 with about 65k miles. Battery is currently sitting at nine bars and I have been checking SOH monthly using LeafSpy. First check of battery health in December showed SOH at 67.58%. Latest check this month showed SOH at 65.08%. Although SOH...

I have some questions about battery degradation in a 2016 SL. Is this the correct thread, or is there a newer one? I notice this thread has no activity since 2019. Any help directing me to the best place in the forum is much appreciated!
