Sure. Is yours an S+ or and SL or SV plus? I do understand the niro is pretty efficient but I'm interesting to see once I get the regen braking right what I get on this 21 niro.

I just decided to move on to a vehicle with a bigger and better battery and figure out how to make some extra money to pay for it

That kick when you turn off eco mode. I only ever turn it off when traffic is rough and I need to be aggressive. I hit sport mode when test driving the Niro and it was like I got kicked. When you put it back in eco mode you can literally feel the regenerative drag of the motor

I ended up getting a Kia Niro. Better range, CCS and active BMA at the same price as the Leaf SV and SL pluses are going for in my area. Thanks

I really appreciate this forum. It helped me as a newbie Leaf owner and also helped me figure out everything I needed to do the level 2 charge port replacement on my 2015 leaf. Please DM me if you want to ask a question about that or anything related to that. I know I wasn't super regular...

Congrats. That is a lot of charging but should work. Once you get familiar with the drive you can probably figure out exactly what you need with a margin for error. My favorite strategy is to find a Kroger, Wholefoods, Kohls or other stop on the way home where you wouldn't mind...

That is kind of what I expected. I do have a level 2 charger at home so that is not an issue. Honestly other then replacing the charge port on red which thankfully I was able to figure out how to do myself all I did was a pair of tires in the time I owned her

I'm looking at replacing Red. As expected she was totaled out. Is it worth it to get a 2019 + and then driver rideshare on the side to make a little extra income? other then the guy in Indy who had the battery module issue anyone know any other opinions on this subject?

Good information. I'm also looking at a clone of red! Another 2015 with charge package with less then 50K and only one bar down and since it is from a dealer it is eligible for the IRA tax credit

So is this why I don't really see any 2016-2017 Leafs on the used car market? they are pretty much dead?

thanks for the tip so it might have 9 or 10 bars with the correct firmware? I made a post over on the 16/17 30 kwh degradation thread as well

Opinion so should I buy a 17 with 8 bars for 6500? Is it worth the hassle to try to get a new battery from Nissan?

My teenager totaled Red. A big mistake to let a new driver drive that car. He ran it under an SUV that bent everything into the engine. Looking at options. I found a 17 with 60000 miles but 8 bars for a decent price. I figure I pay cash, go to the stealer and get it fixed? I have...

Get the trouble code with an OBD tool and then take it from there. If all else fails you can find an upgraded fast charger from a donor car and put it on your leaf. A real win win. Also check the fuse. There is a fuse in the charge port under the rubber covering behind the plastic socket...

Thank you. I don't know how many wrench turners are on this forum. I was on a Mercedes Forum for a long time when I had older Benzs. That is quite the active wrench turning community. If there is a place though where I can post this for mechanically inclined Leaf owners looking for...
