Hi mux and all, We are considering adding a range extender to a LEAF and have most of the resources to do it (small capital budget, a shop with lift and tools, CNC machinist, software developer, competent master mechanic, access to salvage LEAF's to use as test vehicles, etc). What we lack is...

Orient, What's your take on why the wholesale values have gone up so much in the last 6-9 months? Less off lease supply combined with greater export demand?

Our plan is to get the NorCal location fully ramped up and then expand to SoCal. So much to do! Last week was our best week thus far with four Nissan LEAF's delivered to very happy customers. Note that 50% bought, paid and took delivery without seeing the car in real life. However, I consider us...

Add Fiat 500e to the list above of liquid cooled batteries. We just acquired four of them. They are tiny, but fun and good range. Great city car. Ambient summer temps around here (Central Valley of California) are 100-115F so almost as bad as Arizona. I cannot drive a LEAF here from late May...

Our customer had the dealer check the car out. The new 12V we installed prior to delivery is solid. The error codes were "old". The car is in perfect working order. Odd, but ok for now. Even though this was a trivial issue, It feels good to know there is a community of enthusiasts I can tap...

Hi Leftie, I checked it and don’t remember the exact numbers, but they were very good (voltage and amps) when it was installed. I don’t know...it’s wierd...thanks for chiming in and helping all. First glitch ever in CarPortal’s short history. Hopefully it gets sorted out this week at the dealer.

We put a new 12V in the car to make sure it was perfect. Very small chance it’s a bad 12V. I’m not familiar with exactly how the 12V is maintained...maybe that’s the problem. Thanks for the link to the manual. I cannot open it from my phone, but will check it out in the office tomorrow.

It’s a 2015 LEAF S. Thanks for the link. Update: After two hours of waiting for the tow truck and I’m guessing dozens of attempts, the car started normally right as the tow truck arrived and started lowering its flatbed.

I'm searching the forum (unsuccessfully) for info on the following error codes and what may cause them: CAN Error TMS-73 Comm Err EVC-257 CAN Error EVC-277 CAN Error TMS-74 MOTOR CONTROL CAN Error TMS-72 I found some info that indicates that these errors can stem from a low 12V battery, but...

Well this explains why 50% of the calls, emails and facebook marketplace leads we've received so far are from Jordan or from someone who wants to export a car to Jordan. Unfortunately we are not set up to deal with export at all, but we may need to adapt in order to move some LEAF inventory out...

The QC is a ways off, so have not thought through that yet. Some form of free charging for customers who buy a car is definitely a good idea.

Coming soon our charging stations for our own use and complementary EV driver use: https://www.plugshare.com/location/142207 We chose our current location carefully. It's right on one of the most traveled interstate highways in CA and it has 480v 3 phase power so we can accomodate fast...

Hi SageBrush, I'll check the car in person tomorrow morning to verify it doesn't have QC. The notes were updated by a tech last week based on walking around to every car with a laptop and reconciling with our new inventory management system. Thanks for your input.

Please follow the link to our website to view our inventory of Nissan LEAF's. https://carportal.co We currently have 23 vehicles in stock. All are single owner lease returns. All have low mileage, 12/12 battery capacity and a clean CarFax report. We put the cars thru a rigorous certification...

thx leftie! home page loading slowly or car pages or all pages? now that the site is nearly complete we are in the process of moving it to a CDN (content delivery network) which will speed things up. also the 360 views are a problem on mobile right now...we're working in them

We are back! There are currently 23 LEAF's in stock (2013 thru 2015 model year cars). Please check out our new website with 360 exterior and interior views, detail photos and CarFax report for every car. We'll be adding Fiat 500e's and BMW i3's in February and perhaps a few Volts also. Our...

We have several sources. We've been quietly running into one problem after another trying to launch. This weekend we expect to put a dozen or more Leaves online for sale. They will be mostly S models which make a great and cost effective commuter. All with 12 bars. Will post the links here.

Dropping the battery pack out if he car would be kinda crazy. We're not a Nissan dealer and wouldn't attempt any mechanical or electrical work on these cars. They are all under factory warranty which we'd probably void if we did. None of our service partners will work on them either. Regardless...

We can handle storing at 90F which is much cooler than outside where temp in the sun is exceeding 120F. Also we're avoiding driving them, which is too bad since I am personally a huge fan of the Leaf. Had one on lease for 3 years. Still miss that car. I took one out for a short drive just now...

Thanks for those numbers Tim. I found a table with that info posted in another thread here. I've pasted it into our service wiki at Motarra.
