So I made a video talking about the Leaf, of course, since I still have my 2011. Since 2014, with a wty pack, still have about 16kwhr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA2V52lIwYY If anyone wants to expand on particular bits, please add the time code to your comment like: "3:12 He forgot to...

I made a video with my staying warm / defrost strategy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnjr--CNL9k (Will edit this if I figure out how to use the youtube tag. Someone comment that if they know.) Here's an attempt to embed. Can't make that work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnjr--CNL9k...

I wrote it up here: http://rcbullock.blogspot.com/2015/12/nissan-leaf-key-fob-remote-battery-and.html Be nice to not have to replace it as often.

I have mixed feelings about my 2011 SL I got for $16K with 8100 miles on it about 1 year and a half ago. Cheap at the time. I've saved a ton of gas in the 27000 miles I put on it, figuring I save 4.6 cents a mile on gas vs. electricity alone. At least. $1242. Plus $50 on inspections, 4.5 oil...

Depends on the EVSE. The EVSE Upgrade version allows this. On another note, I'm selling my recently serviced EVI unit. CHEAP. RUN, DON'T WALK, from EVI. In my opinion.

Shows how much you know! When the universe's total energy drops closer to zero, you'll be glad to reclaim as much as you can! This will be around the same time Apple runs out of money.

I found a couple I like. The Roadpro 180W mini-heater and the Amazon Basics heated cushion. Disclaimers and warnings and full writeup per usual: http://rcbullock.blogspot.com/2015/03/nissan-leaf-winter-heating-save-your.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And yes, they do draw...

I reused a couple of cropped pics and referenced your guide when I had to repair the socket itself. http://rcbullock.blogspot.com/2015/03/nissan-leaf-cigarette-lighter-power.html Fuse didn't blow but it stopped working. Thermal and/or mechanical failure.

Apologies if this is covered. I looked a few mins and could not find it. Mine IIRC used to work well with the Leaf off. Now, it won't stay connected but killing the app can get a connection but it will eventually go flaky. Is this supposed to work? Seems like it used to work well. Same phone...

Sure, I've actually looked at that adapter for myself since I already have an RV. I kinda sort of want to tow the Leaf somewhere with it. And my generator (which should be good on the freq) would more than drive the 3.3Kwhr leaf. Mine's 5.5 IIRC if I had to use it. I have a 50A outlet on my RV...

Not as pretty but the heated seat pad I've been pretty happy with is in my Leaf store below. $20 ish.

That might all be true, but I certainly don't recall seeing it in the terms I wrote up. All that info is scattered about, IMHO. I went right to 240V, but I might have taken a different path had my finances been different, the circuit run had been different, and if I had known about the EVSE...

That is part of the article. I'm well aware of it. The point was that no one I can recall has ever mentioned the positive aspects of the middle ground that may be available at zero interim cost when going from 110V to 240V.

http://rcbullock.blogspot.com/2015/02/nissan-leaf-110v-charging-heres-middle.html I wrote this up today. It's about 40% faster than the OEM 110V EVSE solution and adds usability to the Leaf. I have not seen this mentioned as a sort of middle ground solution: 16A 110V charging and how to go...

And they will somehow cost as much to drive as gas by then...I bet due to taxes for road maintenance, which the govt isn't getting from us through gasoline taxes.

PSA: the Guy at EVSEupgrade says the 2011 is the best EVSE out there bar none. So, I'd hold on to it. I plan to since I bought and not leased. I had mine maxed out with L6-30, 20Amp upgrade, and 16Amp on 110 adapter. If you don't want to do the math, 16A on 110 is 43% faster if you consider...

I live in Houston so I expect the coming summer to hit it hard. They changed the Blink chargers at work to non-free so I charge to 100% at home since I am not going to pay $2.40 an hour for 3.3kw charging. I use 110V at work and it's enough to get me back. So my charge habits aren't to 80%...

I wonder what is going on with my Leaf's battery. Nissan did the software update and from my stats, I would have thought I would have lost another bar by now. I have been keeping screenshots from Leaf Spy Pro. I had 10 bars a year ago, still have 10 with pretty large drops across the board...
