I often find myself at places where it would be great to have a compact EVSE that I could plug into a wall for several hours. My commute is 104 miles round-trip and during the cold, sometimes it is unclear that the 2019 SL will make the drive home. Ideally, I would have a compact EVSE with all...

I had read quite a bit about the back-to-back DC fast-charging problems, but did not experience it until yesterday. I intentionally took a 400-mile road trip from Colorado Springs to Flagler CO, to Colby KS, then back. The first charge in Flagler started at 43 kW, taking about an hour to get to...

My last several cars have had remote start (cabin heating in a LEAF) that has made me rather lazy. Here in Colorado Springs, we were hit with quite a bit of snow yesterday, covering my LEAF in the driveway. Since it was still on the charger, I started remote heating via the app to melt the snow...

Briefly mentioned at 18:40 in the below video, the host mentions that Nissan will introduce a new LEAF with 40% more range at the Tokyo Auto Show, which I understand is at the end of October 2019. My math says that the new car would have a 315-mile range using an 85 kWh battery. Has this been...

I just read a thread where a poster conflated KW and KWH. That seems to be a regular mistake, despite EVs being more common than ever. What does it take to stop the confusion? The two really are a different as horsepower and a gallon of gasoline. So that it's noted, a coulomb is a large number...

I noticed this morning that my overnight charge finished several hours earlier than it should have, based on the charge timer. On the 51 mile drive to work, I noticed that the instrument cluster clock shows —:— instead of the time. The cluster menu tells me to use the clock settings on the head...

My 2019 SL has a rather unresponsive HVAC. In the cold, it does not warm very well (pity the back seat passengers). When outside temperature warms to 70+ degrees, the cabin becomes uncomfortably hot in the vehicle, despite having HVAC always in Auto mode set to 69 degrees. That said, I keep it...

During the recent Colorado Bomb Cyclone blizzard thing, I left my car in the driveway and stayed indoors to work from home. After two days, it was time to go to work, so I charged my car. My hood was covered in snow and it took a while to find the charge cover. Once I found it, the cover would...

I recently bought a 2019 LEAF and am going through the process of installing a level 2 charger, but it looks like I will need a service upgrade and a new panel. I am thinking that if I am going to go through all of this expense, I might as well plan ahead for a second EV that my home will surely...

As a newer LEAF owner (13 days ago) and an even newer member of this forum, I am not clear on what is is morally acceptable. Is it taboo to discuss how to defeat the hands-on detector? Some videos show a rather unsafe approach where the steering when could get snagged in an emergency, but I...
