Re: Japan's nuclear wastewater discharges into the sea are causing untold harm.

Responding to what you consider disinformation with information-free sarcasm is not helpful. Rebut if you like, but please don't throw trash.

Re: The battery replacement/buyback thread.

Nissan has in the past generally abided by BBB decisions, IIRC.

Re: 2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

The bars can briefly go back up, especially on the 24kwh and 30kwh packs. The BMS update on the 30kwh just about always brings bars back, sometimes for a few weeks or months, sometimes longer.

Re: 12V battery went "bad" after VCM recall?

Welcome. If you live in a Hot or Cold climate, then four years isn't unusual. It would be a little soon if your climate is mild. I agree that they may have managed to run the battery down during the update, but that may be hard to prove.

Re: Winter range

Welcome. You can expect roughly a 25% drop in range in milder Winter weather, rising to roughly 50% in extreme cold, wind, snow and slush. If it's any consolation, the cars with heat pump do no better in temps below about 20F. Learn to use the heated seat and steering wheel to best effect, if so equ...

Re: Extension cords

Heat buildup usually occurs at the outlet, so having an extension cord plugged into the outlet, with the EVSE plugged into the other end of the cord, moves the temp sensor away from the outlet that it's supposed to be 'watching'. AFAIK, it's a kill-type setup, with the sensor cutting the connection ...

Re: Help requested for longer EVSE charging cable

I've only used it once or twice. I figured it now makes more sense to carry one of those for ICEd charging spots than it does to carry an L-1 cable.

Re: Help requested for longer EVSE charging cable

The J-1772 extension cable should work fine, although I paid $300 for mine, not $75.

Re: How often do you drive without ECO?

Unlike some folks I much prefer the throttle mapping in ECO; it's much easier to drive smoothly in traffic. I always preferred it too, for the reasons given. The '21, though, is just too sluggish in Eco; sure I could mash the pedal a lot and get full power, but I prefer having very adequate power o...

Re: Extension cords

The EVSE from Nissan, along with many other OEM units, has a temperature sensor built into the plug, to protect from overheating. Using an extension cord renders this extra layer of protection useless. So perhaps you'd consider rethinking your 'You people are idiots and I'm the sane one in the room'...
