I had a bit of insight into this. The LDW only functions now when ProPILOT is on and engaged. I'll have to look to see if there are additional settings in this mode.

I've had a 2018 LEAF since May of 2018. Recently I decided that the Lane Departure Warning is less than useless. It activates when I'm nowhere near the lane marker, and often fails to activate when I am near it. So I decided to turn it off. But it doesn't seem to want to turn off. I still get...

I had my car towed to the dealer the next day (May 8). They had it for 20 days. They didn't know anything about how to troubleshoot or repair the problem, so they had to consult with corporate engineers. They were told first to open the battery pack and check each cell for shorts. They said that...

Welp, this just happened to me. Now I'm stuck. Car won't charge, either (I had hoped that might reset it). 2018 SL, leased. LeafSpy doesn't report any errors, not sure how to get it to show fault codes.

I desperately needed to charge so I went to a nearby CHAdeMO charger. My car had about 18% charge when I started, and charging stabilized at just under 18kW. They’ve replaced the EVSE since I was last here, and so I first thought this was a limitation of the new equipment (it’s pegged at 50 A)...

Are you sure the supplied 2018 cable from Nissan doesn't rely on its neutral? The reason I ask is that I had made an L6-20 (or -30) extension cord for my upgraded 2014 EVSE, and now I need to either make a new one (expensive), or make an adapter to let the 2018 EVSE plug in. But there's no...

I'd argue that we don't need fast chargers at the destinations, J1772 would do, because you spend time there. We need fast chargers en route. There are other use cases where fast chargers are useful, like people whose job requires them to multiple destinations in a city, but to really support...

Of course not. Even with quick charge, it's not a trip 95% of owners would be willing to make. But they did tout the quick charge port and capability, and a year and a half later we still don't have anything more than a demonstration-level QC infrastructure. Contrast that with how Tesla...

This is the conclusion I came to within a few months of having bought it, and not just for extended trips, but for the 45 mi one-way distance from where I live to San Francisco, which is the farthest I ever need to go with any kind of frequency. Although, a small part of me likes the huge...

So, it seems there's still no useful CHAdeMO infrastructure. I need to go to Vandenberg from San Jose on 2/10, and I wondered if I could do it in the LEAF. But a) it's hard to find all the fast chargers between here and there, and b) what I did find indicates there really aren't any. Tesla is...

I found someone a 15 minute walk from where I need to be, and he responded very quickly, graciously allowing me to charge. Not bad!

Thanks. I'm ashamed to admit I knew about this, even had the app on my phone. Completely forgot it existed. I am now signed up and offering my EVSE. Thanks again!

Do people ever offer electrical outlets or EVSE for fellow EV owners to use? I've had my Leaf for eight months or so, and for the most part it's great. But I live in San Jose, and sometimes want to go to San Francisco. The round-trip is just a little out of the range of the car (unless I drive...

I got my car 5/20 (was out of town when it arrived the week before :-( ), and I just called today to have my installation escalated. He mentioned they just hired a bunch more contractors, hopefully it'll get installed soon. I almost didn't make it home today because I couldn't charge enough...

I desperately needed 20-30 minutes at L2 or better, and the only L2 on my route was at Boardwalk Nissan. I got there, and although I could get at the charger, it was not powered. Nissan really needs to do all they can to support us until the infrastructure is in better shape. I had to charge at...
