    Charging slowly, fault light on mobile charger

    Update: Well, my new cable (EVSE) already arrived from Amazon. Good news: it fixed the problem. Bad news: now I have to try to convince the Dealer that the original cable (EVSE) is bad. I'm at 58k miles, so it should be covered under warranty.

    Charging slowly, fault light on mobile charger

    Yes, it's the same EVSE as in your picture. Model #296900 The voltage coming out of the outlet is fine. In fact, I can monitor it while charging a different vehicle. That vehicle usually charges at 239V 32 Amps. I've been using this EVSE that came with the car for almost 5 years without any...

    Charging slowly, fault light on mobile charger

    My 2018 40kwh Leaf is charging about half it's normal speed with the level 2 mobile cable that came with the car. I'm using a 240V wall socket that I've been using for years. I have another EV that I charge from the same socket (with no problems). When I plug the mobile cable into the wall...

    Thanks, I will try it. Good suggestion!

    The 40KWH Battery Topic

    You're lucky, I don't get 3.3 miles/kWH in the winter even if I leave the heat off. It's a similar climate here in Portland as Bellevue. I've considered increasing my tire pressure, but 40 psi is the max on my new tires and I don't want to exceed that.

    24 kWh Battery replacement cost back down to $5500

    This is great news. This will weigh-in to my decision whether to keep my Leaf at the end of lease. I realize the 40kWh batteries will be more than $5,500 to replace someday, but this gives me confidence the price won't be outrageous.

    Rapidgate Firsthand last Weekend

    Did you have the service bulletin completed that is supposed to address this issue? You have to request the service bulletin when you take your car in for service, otherwise they will not complete it.

    2018 Nissan Leaf - Really Poor Range

    The mileage your guess-o-meter shows after a charge is completely different than real world mileage. Mine routinely shows over 140miles available after a charge, but the reality is that I'm getting less than 100 in cold weather. The guess-o-meter is essentially worthless. One note: In the...

    2018 Nissan Leaf - Really Poor Range

    I have a similar issue in winter driving, although the temperature is milder in Portland, Oregon than -6c; therefore, my range loss isn’t as severe as your worst case example. I’m consistently getting between 90-100 miles per charge lately with my 2018 model S.

    Cold sucks (literally)

    141 miles of range is about right for summer driving.

    Cold sucks (literally)

    The reason your GOM "seems" bloated when SOC is high is due to no hidden reserve. As the SOC drops the hidden reserve grows giving you the impression you are losing range much faster than you really are. Now, I am not saying your estimated range at 100% SOC is accurate but its not nearly as...

    Cold sucks (literally)

    What method are you using to determine your range? Odometer (trip meter). I usually take it down to 10-15% remaining charge and I'm usually less than 90 miles on the trip meter by the time I get that low.

    Cold sucks (literally)

    I'm averaging less than 100 miles range on my 2018 model S since November. Fortunately, it's usually above 40 degrees F in the Pacific Northwest in the day time. I imagine my range would be even less if it was below freezing in both morning and afternoon commute times.

    Survey: Frustrations you have as an EV user - OK to post?

    I completed the survey. My biggest frustration is the limited range in winter. I've been averaging less than 100 miles per charge since November (40 kWh battery).

    Is there any way to add a cruise control kit to the S?

    Mine too. In addition, both of my of my Dad's previous S models had cruise control.

    Can't start 2018 S Model 40kWh

    I tried what I thought was a known-good 12 battery that I charged with a trickle charger. No luck with that. I then called Nissan roadside assistance to have the car towed, but then when the tow truck driver showed up he insisted that we try to jump start it because neither one of us could...

    Can't start 2018 S Model 40kWh

    Can't start 2018 Leaf S Model 40kWh. Got a "Service EV system No Power" error message. Tried the 12 V battery, no luck. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay to tow it to the dealer. It's a long drive to get there.

    Why are so many people angry towards the LEAF

    Since I've started driving the LEAF I've observed a significant increase in the number of angry drivers with road rage. They do not like the car and/or my driving, and are sure to let me know it.
