    time to move on from 2014 S

    I've had lots of luck with my 2014 S with charge package. Incredibly low maintenance costs. Still has 10 bars capacity. GOM recently read 86 miles at full charge. I've saved tons of money driving it. But like most folks, need a bit more range. It's in very good shape with 74,000 miles. One...

    faults with CHdeMO plug at Electrify America station

    The Electrify America site on my commute has been having ongoing issues with its one CHAdeMO plug. The station has one CHAdeMO and six CCS plugs. Over the past month or so the CHAdeMO works for a few days, then goes down, up, down. Anyone know why this might be? Heard of a similar situation...

    Chargepoint charger additional fee of $1 per minute

    The Chargepoint DCQC at Winner Hyundai in Dover, Delaware has been hitting me and at least another user, over the past week, a fee of $1 per minute that is in addition to the normal charge per kW of energy delivered. This fee starts after 5 minutes of charging. Prior to this the fee started...

    I need to make a 90 mile highway drive in early morning and late evening once a week for the next 12 weeks. My 2014 S with Quick Charge Package has held up well. Has 72,000 miles, 10 bars capacity, and GOM today read 86 miles. Cooler weather may be coming soon, or it may not. My options...

    idle EVs at free chargers

    Over the past few weeks I encountered many EVs plugged in at free chargers, with a full battery. This morning there were two cars plugged in (only two plugs) overnight at a nearby shopping center. One was the center security car. There are 6 plugs at a nearby hospital, and it's not uncommon for...

    half dozen chargers along 100 mile highway all broken

    Soon I'll be living in southern Delaware. Checked plugshare. All along Rt 1, across about 100 miles, are seven fast CHAdeMO chargers, all showing broken. These at franchise locations of Royal Farms, convenience stores. I tend to think that such a business with a functioning charger near the...

    "check device" error when using USB port

    Getting this message on display of my 2014 S. Happened earlier this week. Then worked for a few days. Now back. This with two different USB flash drives formatted FAT32 and containing music mp3 files. One of the flash drives has worked fine in the port for past three years. A possible precursor...

    replace rear brake pads at 4 mm thickness, only 59k miles

    Courtesy inspection of my 2014 S at dealer reports 4 mm thickness on rear pads and suggested replacing them and rotors. Car has just 59 k miles, I bought it from them four years ago at 35 k miles, and it has lost just one bar of battery capacity. Braking feels fine. I drive in Eco mode. Based on...

    deterrents for rodent building nest in blower fan?

    I hear there is something called RatMat. I've been told putting a dryer sheet in glovebox may help. Anyone have other suggestions that may deter rodents from access the space and putting leaves etc in the fan of my 2014 S Leaf?

    Three L3 chargers failed to work late at night

    A few days ago I had problems with one, then another, then another fast charger while trying to get home from a late night flight into Hartford Bradley Int airport. Will begin by saying I didn't know that Executive Parking will charge cars just prior to return. Hat tip to a colleague for sharing...

    value of my 2014 S w/ QC pack, 11 bars, 54k miles

    The 2014 S I bought from a dealer in Feb 2017 for $8300 just lost its first bar a few months ago, at 52,500 miles. I spent $0 in maintenance until last month when it needed tires. No body damage, and the interior is fairly clean. Has treated me very well. But living in MA, it's time to look into...

    50,000 miles and still 12 bars capacity

    Just reached 50,000 miles on my 2014 S and still showing 12 bars. A few months ago I saw the car accept around 20 kWh when charging from close to turtle up to 100%. I bought this car from nearby dealer in February 2017 for $8400. Have spent a total of $0.00 in maintenance since. Has no body...

    value of my 2014 Leaf

    I'm thinking of selling my 2014 S, with charge package.. I'm finding the range with the 24kWh battery in the relatively cold climate of Massachusetts to be too limited for my needs. Thinking of moving up. It is late 2014 build in very good shape, 48k miles, all 12 bars on battery capacity. I...

    Now 2 fast chargers down in my area

    I live in western Massachusetts. Two weeks ago I stopped by the dealer where I bought my 2014 Leaf early last year. Looking for a quick charge. I was told they are hoping Nissan will soon fix it. Last night I stopped by the Big Y in Greenfield on my way home from a 80 mile round trip. Now that...

    Ran out of juice last night: a few questions about the trip

    I've had this 2014 S w/ charge package since February. Nearly equal mix of local and highway driving totaling only about 5K miles since purchase. Last night I drove about 50 miles, recharged, attended an event, and then headed home. Ran completely out of power about 1 mile from home. I could...

    taper on fast charger when at high SOC

    I've had my 2014 Leaf S for just over 2 months. Yesterday I used a fast charger for first time on an extended road trip. I was very surprised at how slow the rate of charge became after SOC reached about 75%. I started at around 25% and noticed I was gaining about 1% every minute or two. Went...

    problem with 12v battery?

    A few days ago several warning indicators lit up when I attempted to start my 2014 S model. The red battery light and red PS light came on. Car would not go into Drive or Reverse. I recall both the red and yellow master warning lights were on. I then applied and disengaged the parking break...

    Does audio unit in 2014 S play songs by name or artist?

    I recently bought a 2014 S. Looks like the player does not list MP3 music on a USB by artist or song name. I've ordered the files and am pleased to see that it plays them in the order I chose. But the music is listed (shows) by filename. Not clear that there is a way to see them sorted...

    first extended drive in my 2014 Leaf

    I've had the car one week. Last night I drove 50 miles to an event. I was aware of a Level 2 charger 2 blocks from destination. Started the trip with 92% charge and GOM at 82 miles. I have all 12 bars showing on this 2014 Leaf S w/ 36,500 miles. Most of the route was highway and I averaged...
