The dealership where I purchased the lease-turn-in 2015 Leaf S is offering essentially all incentives as if the Ariya qualified for the federal and state tax credits. That came to about $10,750, I don't have to mess with tax credits to get that amount. I'm retired with not that much in federal...

This owner of a 2015 Nissan S is considering the base Nissan Ariya (FWD and 63 kWh battery). The year-end incentives seem impressive, but I'm not unhappy with my Leaf. More info: * 78,000 miles * still looks and drives almost like new ... no wrecks, dings, or mechanical problems * baby'ed...

This owner of a 2015 Nissan S is considering the Nissan Ariya. The year-end incentives seem impressive. I only found one thread on the Ariya, but I didn't look that hard. I learned a LOT about my Leaf from participating on this forum the first few years of ownership, but have been inactive...

Thanks for your reply. I did get the VIN of a new 2022 Nissan Leaf at the dealership. I'm hoping that a Nissan EV Connect account with a 2022 Leaf VIN will provide ChargePoint like capability to track the Fast-Charging from the Smart-Phone. I've watched the screen on the front of the...

Our 2015 base level Leaf isn't capable of using CarWings and Nissan EV connect. There are two Nissan dealers locally with updated fast chargers. The built-in timer works fine with Level-1 and Level-2, but not fast charging. I contacted Nissan EV Connect tech support about our rejected VIN, and...

I'm curious on getting an estimate on remaining useful battery life from the following data points: 1st health bar lost at 48,000 miles Still has 11 of 12 health bars at 56,200 miles. Vehicle maintained by Nissan, so perhaps has latest firmware. How to find out? 2015 Nissan Leaf, bought as...

Thanks for the feedback! I had the battery checked two separate times. The first result was "maybe ok, but needs charging before test is valid". Several days later, I trickle-charged the aux battery for several hours before testing. The result was once again "maybe ok, but needs charging...

Thanks. I'll have the 12v aux battery checked. It's probably due for replacement.

Three times in the past month, my 2015 Leaf has been very hard to start. I don't hear the familiar "bell chimes" that indicate the Leaf is "ready to go" All (or almost all) of the dash lights come on and stay on The brake pedal seems "soft". I open the hood and check, but the brake fluid...

I looked under the Leaf's hood, and found a decal indicating the A/C uses HFC134a refrigerant and AE10 non fluorescent oil

>> From your description, it sounds like it may be low on refrigerant Sorry if this has been asked before. Our 2015 base model Leaf with 52K miles is not putting out any cold air from the cabin vents. I thought I would try using a recharge kit with R134+ that includes sealant before taking...

Our electricity is about 10.5¢ per kW used, plus connect fee. There isn't a lower fee for night charging. We drive about 13,000 miles per year (although not nearly that much lately with the restrictions). We get about half our juice for free from Level-2 ChargePoint or at the pair of Nissan...

Thanks for the feedback. I've cut back on cell balancing ... less than monthly now. I might do it again if I had a lot of miles to cover the next day. We're retired, with varying number of daily miles from 15 to 40+ miles for errands and misc. That was prior to the pandemic. Prior to that, it...

I'm wondering if there is room for improvement in the way I use the charging timer on our 2015 Nissan Leaf S: Objective: charging reaches about 80% by early morning Charging timer set to 14:00 (2:00 pm in the afternoon) Vehicle plugged into 120v EVSE about 18:00 (6:00 pm) in the evening Check...

Sorry if this question is off-topic. I'd like to find a Android app for my LG smart-phone with o/s 7.1 that provides relatively sophisticated battery management capability beyond what I've found in my app search so far. Is there something that provides the capability that the older Leaf's had...

Agree. I realized you weren't advocating weekly balancing. I did want to check if my inference of you suggesting about bi-weekly rather than monthly was closer to what you were in favor of for my moderate annual driving. And my apologies if my comments came across as argumentative or...

My concern about 'cell balancing' more than monthly ... especially weekly ... is that seems to be 3x more charges to 100% than I prefer to do to 'baby' our Leaf battery. My typical practice when not doing cell-balancing has been to use the Leaf timer or the ChargePoint app with Level-2 to...

I think it would be possible to figure out from observing ChargePoint data, ChargePoint provides the amount of kWh that have been delivered. If you were watching the ChargePoint app and noticed that value the first time that the SOC reached 100% and the rate of charge dropped to 0%, that would...

Thanks for the feedback (and also thx to the other replies) And thanks for your time and effort put into moderating the forum. It's MUCH appreciated. I've learned a lot from you (and others).

I'm wondering what "best practice" is for how often to "cell balance" with relatively newer Leafs from 2015 to the present, including those with Lizard batteries. I've read the lengthy thread "Cell Balancing 101" http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7360&hilit=cell+balance but...
