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...

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...

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...

>> 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...

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...

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...

I've read a number of posts with guesstimates about regeneration efficiency. That seems to be a "known unknown". I've wondered if a reasonable estimate could be calculated with evaluating results from a long, relatively steady uphill drive of 5 to 10 miles, followed by coming back downhill. I...

We're overdue to replace our cabin filter. I'm willing to give it a try, or perhaps pay our regular car mechanic. I'm not pleased at the prospect of paying our Nissan deal about $100 or so. Is the procedure and part number all that different from a regular ICE vehicle? From a Versa or Juke...

We're the 2nd owners of a 2015 Nissan Leaf 'S' with about 36,000 miles. Some questions: Is 3+ years about the expected life for the OEM battery? (my guess: yes) Does it really take a Nissan dealership with a Leaf certified tech to test the battery? (my guess: officially yes, but actually no)...

[Sorry if this has been asked before] I've got a "Defiant Heavy Duty Timer" from Home Depot. SKU 457-864: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Defiant-15-Amp-7-Day-Indoor-Plug-In-Digital-Timer-with-2-Grounded-Outlets-White-49808/203678095 Defiant model: GE5374-71L3 125 VAC 60 hz 15a General...

I have seen a number of posts on how good the regeneration is or isn't on our Leafs, and how it compares to Teslas. My impression is that there isn't enough "hard data" to do much more than speculate. For our family's "use case", the relatively small 24 kw/hr battery on our 2015 "S" Leaf seems...

Is the following a helpful or flawed analogy regarding the way an EV Li-Ion battery is stressed by being charged to high percentages near 100%. Consider a balloon that is repeatedly filled to different levels of fullness. There is minimal stress to partially filling the balloon, such as to...

I'm wondering if there are objective values to quantify "best battery friendly practices" contrasted to "battery unfriendly practices"? I've seen plenty of posts mentioning "do this ... don't do that" to baby our batteries so they degrade slower, but I'm fuzzy on how much it matters. How...

Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm thinking of getting LeafSpy and an ELM327 connection. I'm curious if LeafSpy (basic or Pro) can be used to control what percent my 2015 Leaf "S" battery is charged to, such as discontinue charge at 80% (or 90% or some other SOC). Or can it be used to...

Can my 2015 Nissan Leaf "S" without the Navigation option use CarWings (now known as Nissan Connect EV)? I've got an account with Nissan, and attempted to activate NissanConnect EV with the VIN number. However, I only got a message about contacting Nissan Support. I "threw in the towel" at that...

2015 Leaf with 24 kW battery, 30,400 miles, 12 bars. I plugged my Leaf into a ChargePoint station. It was in Very Low Battery status near the point of "Turtle Mode". The Range and Percentage values had both been blinking for several miles. I generally avoid letting the battery get that low...
