Re: Chrysler Pacifica k,

Thanks, nice review! I was kind of thinking of getting one several years back but I had read about the glitchy electronics and like you I thought it was kind of big and I didn't need all that space. I thought the EV range, while better than quite a few PHEVs, still didn't meet my self-imposed minimu...

Re: Is it possible to disable/cheat the TPMS?

I also regularly look at my tires and check the pressures if they look low or particularly when the temps drop in the fall but I did have one case where the TPMS really saved the day. I was driving down the freeway in rather heavy traffic at 65mph and my TPMS came on. For some reason I decided to wo...

Re: Limit charge to 80%

I'm guessing the OP wants to plug his Leaf in to charge and leave it for 12 days and doesn't want it sitting at 100% for the duration of his trip and might not have access to unplug it once full. In that case as said they are kind of out of luck, on a Leaf newer than '13. I was just reading an artic...

Re: New owners, get your next tires at a nice discount

33,000 miles on my OEM Michelins so far, they will easily go to 40,000 miles with the rubber left. Not sure why some are having accelerated wear? Thats great for OEMs! My OEM Ecopias didn't even make 20k before going bald :x but my Costco aftermarkets of the same tire are currently sitting at 40k a...

Re: Corrosion potential under the hood [post rodent?]?

Not as sure about other cars but the Leaf(I have a '13 and '12) are quite poor for stopping mice/squirrels. Both my Leafs have suffered squirrel infestations and suffered damage from I believe to be squirrels. but at one point thought was mice. In both cases, they entered the car on the passenger si...

Re: Key Battery

I also seem to recall it being said that if you store your FOB in close proximity to the Leaf it might also prematurely wear down the battery due to it and the Leaf periodically talking to each other.

Re: Key Battery

Same here, a 2032 just barely fits(because it's a bit thicker) but is the same price as a 2025 and has more than twice the capacity(life I've found).
The first time or two it's kind of hard to squeeze the covers back together but after that, it's easy peasy.

There was just one large, seven-seat electric SUV on sale in the U.S. for model years 2022 and 2023, according to research firm J.D. Power: Mercedes-Benz’s EQS, priced at about $105,000. A few plug-in SUVs that J.D. Power categorizes as midsize also have a third row, including Rivian’s R1S and Tesl...

Re: News about Juicebox. Posting here to make sure folks are aware....

I have a Juicebox pro with a black cylindrical(like 1/3 of a tube) AU case. It has a tiny wireless remote to make adjustments. The display is a small color dot matrix type, maybe 1"X1"? I haven't really used it in years as I have lots more portable lighter EVSEs but last time I used it, it...
