    Charging gone bad, Nissan wants to replace the charger assembly

    Several of us have ongoing issues -- and the same issue -- where there's a problem charging at some stations but not at Nissan charging stations. All these issues point to a blown diode or something similar. I've had this issue for about 6 weeks now. I've also had my car into Nissan six...

    Replacing the onboard charger diode

    This is a followup to a previous thread -- http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=504199#p504199 -- bit it is different enough to warrant a new subject. Since it appears there's a diode issue in my car, and several Leaf owners have had similar issues and replacements, my question is...

    Level 2 charging fails, but level 1 works?

    On Saturday morning, I woke up and my car hadn't been charged (it's on a timer). I tried to cancel the timer and charge right away, but the ChargePoint Home EVSE started making a clicking sound and the car was getting no charge. I assumed the issue was my ChargePoint Home station because a...

    Heated / cooled garage: what temperature?

    I want to preserve my electric car batteries (2011 Nissan Leaf with brand new 12-bar battery, future Tesla Model 3) with a climate-controlled garage. I got a mini-split unit installed and insulation added. My goal isn't to make the garage a livable temperature -- 65-75 degrees -- but just to...

    LEAF plugged in but not charging... what is climate control power source: battery or grid?

    I've checked the manuals and searched the forums but I can't find an answer to this question. I'll just give bullet points for clarity: My car is plugged in (240). The car is not charging, as expected.... it's 3pm (the timer charges it from 1am to 6am) From my app, I turn on the climate...

    Fast charging (DC charge, chademo) timer question

    I haven't used the fast charger yet but I will next week. My question: does it still take the scheduled charging times into account? Or does it bypass that? Anything else I should know?

    When your LEAF drops to eight bars...

    I posted this celebratory post: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=22389, but I thought it was important to create a new post to note a couple things to other LEAF owners who may also have the drop: When your capacity shows eight bars, you'll need to schedule an appointment with...

    Toxic smell in car

    I've owned a used Leaf for a couple months now. About three days ago, I got in my car in the morning and there was some nasty smell. Its origins are hard to determine, but I think it's coming from near the back seat floor (hey, isn't that where the battery is?). I'd classify this smell as the...

    Headlight auto off

    Hello, I notice when my headlights are on and I open the door, I get an alarm to tell me to turn off the headlights. That's odd; I was sure all cars just shut them off for me. Will the LEAF? I have a 2011 and the oldest manual I can find online is 2012; the 2012 manual suggests there's a...

    Efficient driving tips?

    So I'm new to the LEAF, and I'm wondering about ways to maximize range. Are there general tips? I feel like it's probably the opposite of driving a gas car.... let me give an example. I visit one place that's about 16 miles away via highway. In my ICE car, I usually drive on a route that takes...

    Battery warranty time

    I have to think my car's battery should be replaced under warranty. It has 44k miles, and since owning it: Day 1: Max range says 42 after charge. Day 2: Max range says 72 after charge. Drove it 12 miles, it says 19 miles left. Day 3: Max range says 45 after charge. Will they replace this under...

    Charging on timers, Chargepoint Home station, and 80% versus 100% questions

    I have a 2011 Nissan Leaf and a Chargepoint Home charging station. Two issues that are somewhat related: The ChargePoint Home station can be set to charge on a timer. This is fine, but the station itself doesn't know when the car has reached 80%... so will it always charge at 100% when on a...
