I noticed in April/May that the heater in my 2012 Leaf SL wasn't working right but because of the known crappiness of Leaf heating, I quickly forgot about it when the summer started. I remembered the issue a couple weeks ago when the temps dropped and it turns out it wasn't heating at all. I...

Invite and download seemed to work fine. Now I'm just waiting on my adapter to come from Amazon...

So which reading is correct when I pull into the rapid charge port, the 7% the car is showing or the 23% the charger is showing?

I got my Leaf about a month ago and am still playing around with it, trying to figure out the systems. Part of this process has involved using the rapid charger (chademo) at the local Nissan dealer which I've done twice. In both cases I noticed a sizable discrepancy in the estimated SOC when I...

What about for iPhone? I have a Kindle but leave it at home as a kids' entertainment tablet and it would be much more convenient for me to be able to monitor from my iPhone 5.

THanks. Very helpful link. A follow up question; what is the best way to go in terms of a GID meter? That link you provided is to a relatively old thread. Is there consensus as to which is the best/best value?

Sorry folks, I'm a noob here and I need more info on GIDs. I see them referred to a lot but I'm not sure exactly what they are (I saw something about Wh/80 but am not sure if that is correct). I've had my Leaf a couple weeks and am just starting to test what I can get in terms of effective...

Tinting question for Colorado Leaf owners: I just got my Leaf this past week, love it, and am looking to optimize it as best I can. My understanding is that window tinting is a good way to reduce heat gain by as much as 50-66% in the cabin which should allow for a significantly reduced need...

Got my leaf Sunday! I live in CO and the value on used 2012's is amazing because the state tax credit applies to used vehicles (as long as they are from out of state). I paid $13.7k for a certified used Blue SL with 16,000 miles but after my $3300 state tax credit, it's coming in round $10,500...
