I got a replacement 40kwh battery right at 24 months ago for my 2016, 15k miles later. 2 warm Summers. Zero QC. As we know, much of Leafspy gets disrupted by a replacement battery, especially of a different size (original was 30kwh) I didn't plug my Leafspy in for at least 18 months, but a...

I could have put this in the EVSE forum, but people tend to go there only AFTER there is a problem. This is my sort of public service announcement. Having been a very satisfied Juicebox user for 8 years or so, it pains me to be going through this. 1) If you have an old metal box, three light...

I too have been getting intermittent episodes of reduced power output in cold weather under acceleration or high speed. My battery is at 66.5% Was down to 65.3%, but I needed to fast charge to get home the other day, and it bumped back to 67% Lots of variation showing in the cell charges. I...

I have 2016 SV with 30kwh battery. Now in 2017, they all will be that way. The 96 month, 100k miles warranty to retain 9 bars is certainly a great improvement, at least at first blush. But I've been bothered and have tried reading every 30kwh thread out there to no avail to answer this...

Hello All, I am starting this thread to answer a specific question: Options for portable charging that go beyond the 16A (derated 20A circuit) units that are quite available these days. I have found a couple and I would like peeps input on these or suggestions for others. Important...

I will make a slightly longer story out of this so that its clear why I am posting and mildly annoyed at EVSEupgrade. First, the company and its proprietor have made fabulous contribution to this site and EV charging in general. When I bought my first Leaf in 2012, the upgrade to my 120V EVSE...

I now have a 2016 SV with the 30kwh battery. I still have my 2012 SL with its 24kwh degraded (77%) battery. The new Leaf battery battery temp meter seems to consistently show a bar more on the new Leaf than would have been showing on the old Leaf under similar driving and weather conditions...

OK, I have a 2012 SL that just dropped to 10 bars (77.5% bat left IIRC). 40,500 miles. And its been a blast. Of late, here in KC, we have charging stations all over. I have been charging at work ONLY lately. My 38 mile round trip commute still is pretty safe even at 80% charges, and I can...

Ok, I tried searching. Not quite clear how to search this question, but I am certain I am not alone.... Lately (I had 2 year bat check a few weeks ago, perhaps this was occurring before, but I never noticed it), when I just turn on some cabin air flow (blower motor) I see a definite drop in...

My 12' Leaf was made in May of 12, purchased by me in Oct of 12. It sat, I think, at 100% charge on the dealer lot from June to Oct of 12. It was hot in KC that Summer. Since then, I have been a pretty careful owner. Perhaps charged to 100% 10 times in 2 years, and those times, immediately...

Funny -- I have not got below 4. Garage temp in AM is often under 40, but above freezing. The one day, the starting outside temp was 12, and rose along the way. The garage at TMC is unheated, but does protect from wind and elements mostly. Leaving temps were under 20 a couple times and I...

OK, slowly moving forward with my longstanding pursuit of an exterior plug for personal occassional charging, like when I have the garage full of a woodworking project. I have a 2012 Leaf, the modified EVSE that can draw only 16A 220V. So I *could* just put in an L6-20 plug on the outside wall...

Not that any of us will change this, but I think it SUCKS that a fully charged Volt will STILL sound its stupid, and very LOUD alarm when they are unplugged..... Scenario is not uncommon. You pull up to a public charging station and its occupied with a Volt. And the Volt is fully charged...

So I bought one of those refurbished clipper creek EVSE's off eBay. But I went with the CS-60 since I *thought* I had a 100A service to my garage and could add a 60A circuit. The CS-60 pulls a max of 48A. My idea was "future proofing"...... So today I get to looking and realize that the...

I am going to need to install a new sub panel to acomodate the 60A Clipper Creek refurbished charger that I just purchased off eBay. I have been using the coverted Nissan EVSE, but the price was right for the Clipper Creek and this way, I can start taking my portable unit with me at all...

I assume this has been addressed, but search could not really find the answer I desired... I charge only to 80% and have a 33 mile round trip commute. During the Fall, things were fine, but on at least 2 occassions, I've now gotten home with only one charge bar showing (1 of 12, as opposed to...

OK, I've accepted that the top 20%(original post 80%) of my battery is "she who must be obeyed" and left alone, lest I be punished with eternal degradation.... And I've accepted that my penchant for finding the maximum velocity on a road at which the law enforcement seems to look away, must be...

I have read an awful lot, and the conclusion I seem to be coming to is that Nissan is keeping quiet about the exact point at which they will repair or replace the battery. While one can safely assume that if the battery dies completely, through no fault of the owner, Nissan would honer their...

The interior colors in the 2012 Leaf are of course gorgeous at this point, but quite light and I am a little worried. I've searched and cannot really find a lot of recomendations from real life experiences, with the Wetokole being the exception. Except, I don't want a waterproof neopreme seat...

Been reading a lot about testing. Figured out how to use google maps and http://www.gpsvisualizer.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to show elevation changes. My route in KC is 152 Amity Rd west, to 435 north, to I-29, to 435 South, back to 152 and then to Amity. Nice loop of...
