    $12k to replace 24kwh battery?

    I also own a 2015 LEAF S. 38,500 miles and 10 bars. Owned it since day 1. Nissan quoted me $10k+ for a replacement battery. Honestly, because I'm retired and use the car for local travel, I regularly get 80-85 miles range. For my purposes, I can keep driving this for a long, long time. Of...

    Recommended replacement tire

    I just replaced my original Ecopia tires that came with my 2015 LEAF S at 21,600 miles. One of the tires was bald on the outside edge (not just the edge...about 4-5" worth!) despite regular rotation (6k miles) and careful pressure monitoring. The others exhibited various levels of wear and...

    Nissan Leaf EVSE upgrade - Reviews? Reliable?

    Just a quick note on EVSE Upgrade reliability. I upgraded my OEM Nissan EVSE with EVSE Upgrade. That was in 2013. I've been using it now on my 2015 LEAF S for 4 years...2 years on the previous LEAF. Flawless for 6 years. I consider that great bang for the buck. Reliable and user friendly...

    So, owners what range are you getting ?

    My 2015 Leaf S that I purchased at the end of my lease appears to have dropped its first bar at 20,000 miles. Weirdly, driving off fully charged displays 11 bars. After driving 5 miles or so, the 12th bar reappears. Residential Driving: 90+ miles on the GOM. 85 miles or a little less in the...

    Driver Door Handle Problem

    Upon taking the vehicle with the separating door handle to the dealer, it was replaced for Free! A service tech told me that out of warranty (mine is a 2015 S) super glue will do the job.

    Driver Door Handle Problem

    I've got the same handle problem. It snaps back but ALWAYS comes apart. I'm going to ask the dealership when I rotate tires. Aggravating. Thanks

    Nissan Dealer Says He Wants to Buy my 2015 LEAF

    I may just do that. I've got to take it in for the annual battery check and a tire rotation. Good time to wander over to the used vehicle sale lot and ask. ;-) The dealership has been honest in the past. They admitted they sold me the vehicle at too low a price. They now realize they can...

    Nissan Dealer Says He Wants to Buy my 2015 LEAF

    It came in an email. The dealership that first leased and then sold me my 2015 Leaf S just offered to buy it back. Are other owners getting these kinds of offers? The requirements are... - Less than 25,000 miles - Fast Charge Capable - No Accidents That offer would net me almost $5,000 in...

    New Nissan EV app is out!

    Will this version work on a 2015 base model S (w/QC)? The last time I checked, the App only worked with models with built-in Navigation. Thanks!

    Degradation not related to charge cycles?

    I'm a bit surprised by what I read here. My 2015 is my second Leaf. It now has 12,500 miles and all 12 bars. My 2013 had about 20k miles and all 12 bars. I rarely QC. But I don't think that's the problem with losing bars. I thought it was pretty well sorted that it was a combination of...

    The Phone Menu...(Ahem!)

    Nissan gives us everything we need to know when pressing the steering wheel button that indicates we wish to initiate a call. In fact, after the 100th time I hear it, I wish it would just say "Would you like to make a call or say 'Full Menu!" That way I could just say "Call + Name" It's a bit...

    Saving a Battery from a Damaged LEAF sold at Auction

    While enjoying my 2015 Leaf S, like many others I wonder what happens when I lose all those bars and my battery has degraded. Sure, I could pay $6500 and get a new one. But I noticed a LEAF with heavy front-end damage for sale at a local auction and wondered...what if I bought this relatively...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Wouldn't it be better to get a 2015, lower mileage, QC for a little more...right off the lot? 36k is right about where many people lose their first battery bar. Taxes. Yes, in Georgia you pay twice as well!

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Sonnylax asked: Regal did give me a detailed run down of each and every cost...down to the penny. It was on the telephone and I didn't write the detailed list. Honestly, I only paid attention to the big items: $1076 balance of 4 more lease payments Around $700 for tax, etc. $5820 Out the...

    What's a good average for the miles per kw/hr

    It has to be judged on your circumstances. If you drive all highway and regularly cruise at 70 mph, you're going to end up below 4 Miles/kWh. 4.2 is a reasonable number if you have a mixed highway/surface street (35mph) driving agenda. All on city streets 35-45 mph, I usually get around...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    I didn't give them a down payment. For anyone interested, this deal came through my original dealer: Regal Nissan of Roswell, GA. They've got some very low mileage LEAF's just like mine for $9k to $10k. LEAF's became hugely popular in Atlanta when the state began offering the $5k tax rebate...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    2015 Leaf S. 8k miles. 12 bars. QC port etc. My 2 year lease is expiring and the dealers sent me a note saying: That would cut off 4 payments of $269. My residual is $11,520 $4,020 for my pristine LEAF? I just got off the phone with the dealer who explained, yes, that would be the...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Nissan is telling us to check with our dealers. Mine is selling 2015 LEAF's exactly like my own for $9,999. Same, Very Low mileage...8k. I haven't checked in with the sales staff for an official offer...but my lease is up in 6 months. The 5.5% Finance price isn't great. I can't see the...

    Struggling with End of Lease Decisions 2013 SV

    I had a conversation with a local INDEPENDENT dealer the other night who put it plainly. "I HATE the Nissan LEAF!" He doesn't hate the car, per se, but he hates the fact that the resale value is so low he WILL NOT take one in trade for another vehicle. He says he can't sell them because new...

    What's the thing you hate most about your Leaf?

    - The horn - The glovebox that doesn't hold anything - Knowing that, when winter comes, I'll need to bring in the tent heater to maintain range in my LEAF S and prevent frostbite But I still love the LEAF!
