This idea is related to the grid-interactive, but not grid-tied, hybrid inverter that I talked about in this post. (https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=27295) I thought this had enough merit or potential other uses to stand on its own and wanted to see if someone had anything to...

I had read that there is an aero advantage for installing a chin spoiler on most cars, and many new cars have them, even F150's. However, on the leaf with the smooth underpan I figured it might not make a huge difference, but I order some rubber material anyway. total cost was $14 for a 100"...

My one way drive to work is 30 miles, sometime 32 miles. L2 at work! With my 10-bar leaf I would have thought that I was future-proofed for a few years, well the polar vortex taught me otherwise. those two really cold days In the morning it was at zero temperature bars, with -10 to -20F in a...

I had been planning this for a while and got my two extra 12v power outlet connected today. I used a 30amp cube relay to disconnect the plugs when the power is off. And I also took the ground from the ground point on the back of the motor assembly, not the battery, and took the positive after a...

With the polar vortex just happening and these negative-F cold blasts being a regular thing for 10’s of millions of people I wanted to share my thoughts on a 120v heater for the 12v lead acid battery. Lead batteries perform at their peak at around 77F both in expected life and also ability to...

I've done a google site search for “grid assisted charging” and I don’t think that I saw this exact topic. I’m talking about grid assisted solar charging, not direct-to-battery solar, Not L1 6amp, not off-grid solar, not grid-tie solar, not anything with DCQC. The goal here is to incrementally...

I've always wondered if vortex generators would a worthwhile addition to a commuter car because any money not spend on work related expenses is like giving oneself a little raise. Youtube and forum responses are either exaggerating fan-boy or doubting cynic. My last car was a jeep liberty diesel...

New leaf owner here. lurked quite a bit. i gathered up pieces for an idea around the web and wanted to float an idea to see if i was missing something, what could go wrong and try to get ideas on how to work around any potential issues. I was looking at 32ah 3.7v pouch cells and found that it...
