My Leaf is a 2014 with 31k and when charged using an at home Level 2 Charger it shows 99% and 75-78 miles (seems to vary, why I do not know). I have read the great advice on this Forum and since our EV is used only for local drives of way less than 75 miles roundtrip I have started trying to...

Thank You Wayne. I do now have the right information that I need. I do not need to plan for a later conversion to a Type 2 charger since our daily use of the car will be no more than 25 miles, and I suspect every other day Type 1 charging overnight will be more than sufficient. As far as the...

Thank you so much for that info. Just to make sure I understand you, are you saying that I would be better off purchasing good quality 12 or 10 gauge wire to be buried, then splice onto the wire the male and female plugs? And this is because the quality of the outer covering is likely to be...

Wow, such good information and timely too. So we were thinking of taking our 2014 Leaf to our Winter Florida home where we typically drive no more than 35-40 miles a day and the EV would be absolutely perfect for us. In order to charge it would take a 50 ft extension cord that I was going to...

I hope this is the right place for me to ask this question. I have a 2014 Leaf and after being gone about 3 months I went to start the car and nothing, absolutely nothing. I believe the OEM battery is probably toast and if the easiest thing to do is just replace with a new one, that is what I...

Thank You for the suggestions, and I have just updated our location. To answer questions about our planned use of our Leaf... Currently 30k miles and 11 bars. Our use will be 100% non-highway driving. We use the car 4-5 times a week with local trips, the furthest one being 60 miles round...

Owner of a 2014 Leaf with I believe a 24Kw battery pack, currently showing 11 bars with a full range of 84 miles. Have yet to purchase a Leaf Spy to apparently learn even more about the current condition of my existing battery. Having said that, I am a very "forward thinking" individual and...

New Leaf Owner has perhaps what may be to some a stupid question. Today is the first day that its raining outside and our car is scheduled to charge tonight between 2 AM and 6:30 AM. Using a dedicated 240v outlet inside our garage, so the "box" on the charging cable is indoors, away from the...

I've seen in a number of threads on the Forum that many of you Leaf owners charge your battery only to 80% unless planning on driving the car soon after charging the battery to 100%. I have read the manual and see no way to plug in the charger and have it stop at any type of charge percentage...

Thank you to all who responded. Definitely comforting to know that my '14 doesn't experience the same problems of an older model. We love this car and honestly do not plan, nor do we have to drive it when the temperature here in Atlanta is below freezing, so maybe the only issue that we will...

Wow. Was this tread both super informative and also, well I must admit it, I don't think I understood anything other than the fact that using the Leaf's heater is a huge drain on our battery and driving range. So, having said that, I'm a proud new owner of a 2014 Leaf SV. I believe my most...

I don't mean to hi-jack this post but I have been searching w/o success for what you "nlspace" have mentioned here. I am a brand new owner of a 2014 and need to do all sorts of programming and such but can't figure out how to get the car into what you call "the accessory mode". All I can tell...

Lothsan...... Thank You. Thank You. Your information was awesome and very helpful. I've got a lot to learn about driving and enjoying our new car, which for the most part we expect to use on trips of no more than 30 miles each way, so it sounds like we'll be good. The heating idea is also...

Noted, and thank you. I didn't realize that I hadn't filled in that information and I will get to it soon. My Leaf is a 2014 SL. Thanks for your comment, its helpful.

I would appreciate everyone helping me understand what travel distance and such I can expect from my brand "new to me" Leaf. I am writing this post after my very 1st ride home in my car and here is what I discovered from this 1st trip: 1) Drove 23 miles w/ECO Off in city traffic... stop and...
