Love this!

Not your typical EV driver. We're out there!

BTW, what is the overall length & weight of that land train?

The "guess-o-meter" seems to use only the last few minutes of miles-per-kwh data to come up with its estimate, so it varies wildly. It is only accurate if the remainder of your drive will be exactly the same as what you've recently driven. I suppose it's also fair to say that the fewer mil...

I bought my '13 in May of 2017 with only 5100 miles. It had been owned by the Washington State government and had mostly sat around, probably at 100% charge for all of that time (my guess, based on settings, and how they treat the remaining vehicles). It looked (and smelled) showroom new. When I got...

OP lives in an ideal climate for Leaf batteries. Mostly true. Somewhat closer to the Sound would be even better. One more comment to the OP. Make sure your garage stays as cool as reasonable. A south facing, not vented garage I'm aware of would stay quite hot, being as much as 20 C warmer than outs...

My question is, since the hitch weighs about 47 pounds installed, any idea how much this extra full-time weight could impact battery range, in general? Like 5% lower, etc.? I usually drive alone, but on a recent 100 mile trip I had a passenger (probably 3x the weight of that hitch) and saw no chang...

I gather from your message that you're moving to Oregon, possibly Portland?

Just an FYI, the climate in the NW is perfect for keeping your Leaf battery healthy, and there are lots of chargers around the Portland area. Just food for thought if you're still on the fence about keeping it.

My 2013 will drive forward and reverse with the rear hatch open. It just shows a non-specific warning triangle light on the dashboard.

Something I learned recently and found interesting regarding operating Halogen bulbs at lower-than-specified voltages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp#Halogen_cycle "With a reduced voltage the evaporation is lower and there may be too much halogen, which can lead to abnormal failure....

From what I can tell, those of us who bought used Leafs are more likely than original owners to try to live with L1 indefinitely. I'm at the one year point now and L1 has served me just fine: There have only been a few times when the lack of L2 left me with serious range anxiety, or made me drive a ...

FYI, I own a pearl white 2013 (no side marker light, made in US).
