2015 Leaf SL, owned for two years. 100% trouble free. No issues or repairs. I make an annual visit to Nissan for inexpensive maintenance and a checkup where they find nothing wrong. Because of the cost of power and my driving style, it costs me $1 to travel 70km. It's nearly a free-to-operate...

I have a 2015 Leaf. I own the OEM floor mats, both fabric and plastic versions. Neither cover the dead pedal. I'm trying to find an elegant solution to the problem of dirtying and wearing down the carpet on the dead pedal, preferably one that doesn't require me to drill any holes, which some...

Searching the forums will turn up a lot of options. I also found many reviews on YouTube when I was searching. I considered 8 or 10 different models before settling on the Emporia Smart Home EV Charger. It's simpler with fewer options than some other EVSE, but it works well and integrates with...

I can't speak for others, but I have not experienced this on my 2015 Leaf SL. The heated seats are consistently warm.

I just ran the OP's post through a translation engine. It looks like the original language was Dutch. From the error codes, I think you are right about the ABS. Translation follows: ========================= Vehicle: Nissan Leaf (Electric) Engine code: EM 61 Year built: 10-13 Mileage: License...

Carvana’s listings aren’t always accurate. I purchased a 2015 Leaf SL for a surprisingly low price (I should have been suspicious.). When it arrived, it was an S, not an SL. Fortunately, Carvana’s policy is to accept returns for any reason, with no questions asked and no fees. They even drove...

For 240v charging, the owner’s manual states “Maximum rated input 32A” and “Maximum power consumption 7.7kVA”. In my experience, 28A and 6.7kW is the highest I’ve seen my EVSE record. I fount a forum post from 2014 where someone mentioned 7.7 from the owner’s manual, but there was no further...

I have a 2015 Leaf SL. Lately, I’ve started switching from D mode into B mode as an alternative to braking in certain situations. For example, if I see see a red light a few hundred meters up the road, and no cars are behind me, I’ll switch into B Mode. I realize gentle braking can accomplish...

I had a similar problem. When I bought a used 2015 Leaf, it had four missing push pins, or what Nissan calls clips. I found them here. https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts-list/2015-nissan-leaf/body_front_roof_floor/front_fender_fitting.html They were considerably more expensive than the ones...

I'm surprised there isn't more talk in the forums about window tinting, specifically ceramic window tints. Summer is about to arrive in the northern hemisphere, so many of us are about to lose 10% or more of our range to air conditioning . On a full charge, my 2015 Leaf gets 80 miles. Turning...

In an earlier post you said the Tesla was charging at 60A. Are you sure about that? Electricians should correct me if I'm wrong, but if the NEMA 14-50 outlet is attached to more than a 50A breaker, then you're committing an electrical code violation. If you want the Tesla to actually charge at...

Interesting. I've never done any Arduino programming, but this might motivate me. Are there functions that you perform with RAPI commands which can't be performed from the web interface built in to the charging station?

Thanks for your very helpful post and blog. Your blog says your usage is "1-2 Megabytes/day", but in an earlier post in this thread you said your usage was "1-2 Mb of data per day", which is a factor of 8 different (Mb vs. MB). For clarification, are you using 1-2 Megabits or 1-2 Megabytes per...

If I use your estimate, it will take me two years to earn back the time I spent installing an electrical subpanel and NEMA 14-50 outlet for my EVSE. :lol:

I just bought a 2015 Leaf on Carvana. Yes, there are a lot listed, but they are purchased quickly. The turnover is incredible; cars appear and disappear within days, sometimes hours. If you look on Carvana, you'll see that many Leafs are listed as "On Hold" or "Purchase in Progress". This gives...
