I might have "had" a wet EV, we are coming up on three weeks and the Leaf has not budged from the dealership. PetroCan is doing their best impression of the three wise monkeys, ICBC is giving lip service to subrogation, and I'm slowly going broke at $600 a week for a rental car. Meanwhile, the...

Sure! Petro Canada, 1100 Terminal Avenue North, Nanaimo, BC V9S 5H8 Canada Thanks!

Yes, Electrify Canada... still owned by VW, still with one CHAdeMO plug on the same charger as a CCS so it's unavailable most of the time, and still quite UNelectrifying. They put it next to a Canadian Tire and across a huge parking lot from a Timmy's so by the time you get there you are...

Hi DougWantsALeaf. I'm in Nanaimo BC. In just over a year I already have nearly 40K km (25K mi) on the Leaf, with three trips of several thousand kms each, so even if I do get it back from the dealer I don't expect to keep it much longer. Even with its unfortunate Tesla roots, I don't think I...

PetroCan has always been my least favourite charger but in my town we have one CHAdeMO Electrify America plug (which is very often taken up by a CCS charging car) and three BC Hydro plugs. It's crazy that in a city larger than 100,000 those are your choices and at least one of the chargers is...

Yesterday I went to a PetroCan charger where I had charged many times before with no trouble. I plugged in at 22% and went to get a coffee. Came back at 86%, unplugged, started the car and immediately went into Turtle Mode. I restarted a few times and still Turtle'd. I called the dealer and they...

I parked the 22 Leaf SL Plus at an airport parking garage for the 1st 2 weeks of Dec. Upon my return: Steering much lighter D feels like B did. B is so regen heavy its useless on any but the longest steepest hills but most importantly No matter what I do I seem to have lost about 30% of...

2022 Leaf SL Plus. Approx. Odometer Reading: 5,000 km (3,100 mi) Starting SOC : 100% Range (till battery low) : 431 km (268 mi) to 2% Range (till turtle) : Unknown Driving : Mostly suburban driving, speeds between 50 to 90 km/h (30 to 55 mph). ECO. No e-pedal. Heater on occasionally. Climate...

That is definitely a concern but I don't have any other way of attaching the plug to the socket without it drooping, so we may be stuck.

Thanks for the suggestion but it runs counter to this advice: Latest development: Home Depot $10 100% rubber stair tread placed upside down, perfect fit!

An excellent option for all but us renters who try to drill as few holes in walls as possible... or say goodbye to our security deposits. :D

I've just hit 1000 km (600 mi) with my 2022 SL Plus and am getting a better feel for the car. My impressions so far: PROS Build quality is superlative. I've been in 2 Teslas (S and 3) and they are rattleboxes as compared to the Leaf. ProPilot is a dream. To my driving sense it's the perfect...

Excellent idea. I'll buy one tomorrow. Thanks.

The day I brought my 2022 SL Plus home a couple of weeks ago, I had exactly the same problem. I had this NSF-type shelf and with a couple of zipties it is working like it was a custom installation! :D

Thanks for this, the Primus are out of stock, but I'll check with audio dude tomorrow about the 63XF impedance to see if it's an issue. I appreciate your help!
