So today I finally lost my 5th bar and it started to make me wonder what is the most bars that anyone has lost? 6? 7? And will rate of loss change as the pack deteriorates? I tried searching the forum, but with no real success. I know there was a capacity loss spreadsheet, but I haven't...

My residential Blink no longer recognizes my Leaf when I plug it in The display shows "please plug in your vehicle". My Leaf beeps like it normally does when I plug a J1772 into it. But no charging. My EVSE Upgrade works flawlessly though. :) I thought sure that these symptoms has been...

I’m thinking about placing a bulk order for some ELM327 mini’s (the shortest model) and modifying them to listen to the EV CAN bus. I plan to have an option of using either the always on 12V or the switched 12V. I’ve already modified my sample one and am in the process of testing it. I did...

After ignoring Blink's attempts to hold financial liability over my head for another year, They have spontaneously acknowledged that I have left the EV Project. Below is the email they sent me: Now that ownership is officially mine, I emailed them back and asked if they still wanted to...

I’ve seen quite a few posters here state that Nissan recommends only charging to 80%. I can only assume that is based on the existence of the 80% Long Life Mode charging timer. It’s very name implies something other than standard life. If you want standard life, then go ahead and charge to...

So this weekend, I decided to try out the West Coast Electric Highway and drive from Seattle to Portland in the morning and back in the evening. This is a fairly routine drive of 160 miles each way and a common daytrip here in the NorthWest. But I was not expecting one missing Quick Charger...

My Nissan Leaf April newsletter arrived today and in the Carwings tip section they say : Ever since my first GPS was stolen, I no longer put my home address into NAV systems. Do I really have to put in my home address to get automatic updates? If so, will it get the stations at my work, 30...

I had a new Nissan survery show up in my email this morning. Below is the text of the email and the text of the first page of the survey. It was interesting that this one was not specific to the Leaf as they ask about head gaskets and emission controls. Any section that you check leads to a...

Today, I got this in my inbox: and I couldn't let it go unanswered, so I replied to all with Some read with an open mind and were appreciative of my side, but. Well. Others responded like this That one will take everything I can muster...

So in the past, I bought this socket set http://www.directsupplyukltd.co.uk/products/metrinch-14-piece-socket-set-met-0525/269/ but it was recently stolen. Even though they sell this brand/style in America of this American made socket set, I can't buy this exact set here - only internationally...

Do to physical space reasons, I was not able to put a full charge on my Leaf Wednesday night - I still had 10 bars though. My commute is normally 65 miles, so it's still doable, but not much room for side trips like that. Then Murphy pays me a visit and I have to stop at Sears on the way...

Over at CBS Business news, they wrote about 10 surprising things about the Leaf ( http://www.bnet.com/blog/electric-cars/10-surprising-things-about-the-nissan-leaf/4681 ) and quoted Brendan Jones, Nissan EV marketing director. Item 9 caught my attention : “Going upscale. There are two Leaf...

So, you may have seen that Fathom Events has been showing the Lord of the Rings movies in theaters the last few week. I've been going and it's kinda on my mind. Yesterday, I had the longest day of my commuting schedule since I bought the car on Saturday. I'me driving home and I get down to one...
