Agree with most of your post. However, the drive train battery generates 350+ volts which can be extremely lethal compared to 120 volts. So I would find a qualified technician to do any drive train battery repair work.

My monthly electric bill shows a break out for EV charging, heating, etc. However, it does not seem accurate. Anyone know how these metrics are determined and if they could be accurate?

If #4 were an option, I would opt in for at least 1 electric vehicle if there were a significant saving. I do not get #3 additional tax for at home charging since there is already a tax on home electric bill.

This is good news and seems better than any other option currently available. What locations in the U.S. would be able to install the 45 kWh battery? Would MUXSAN be able to partner with GREENTEC or some other qualified installer? I have to ask, will the battery be assembled in the...

I test drove an ARIYA with FWD in 2023. The suspension seemed stiffer than my 2012 Leaf and the test drive felt quite bumpy. The local Nissan dealership did not have an AWD ARIYA at the time. Supposedly the suspension is improved in the AWD version.

Hmmm. I am in NC and EV tax is $180 for registration renewal for May 2024 on Audi e-tron.

Can you unscrew the antenna on your 2015 Leaf? I have removed the antenna on my 2012 Leaf before putting the cover on.

I know all this. However, I will be close to the max income and will not know MAGI for sure until filing taxes for 2024 next year.

For the used EV tax credit, see below for income limits which are significantly lower than $400,000. Filing status Maximum eligible income (MAGI) Joint tax returns or surviving spouse $150,000 Head of household $112,500 Individual or any other filing status $75,000

That decision certainly is under consideration in my case. Glad you found that deal on a used Leaf and hopefully have no trouble with it. My 2012 Leaf is in good shape based on 10 year maintenance except for battery degradation. So I know what I have. I have not found a "good" deal on a used...

Good response for Nissan HV battery warranty. I am trying to get an answer concerning LRN HV battery warranty. If it is the same as Nissan then I would like to know that before making a decision on upgrade for my 2012 Leaf SL

How would manufacturing defects be determined during the warranty coverage period?

Can you provide details of the warranty for LRN 40 kWh battery? Would like to have LeafSpy metrics stated in the warranty such as SOH and weak/bad cell warning.

CCS is a protocol, correct? The protocol is not being phased out for CCS. The plug configuration is different between NACS (Tesla) and CCS. Just trying to establish some clarification...

That is good news on the used Leaf rebate. There is an exclusion that the tax payer needs to wait 3 years after the sales date to claim another EV tax credit. There may be a work around. Have you figured that out yet in case you want to purchase another EV within 3 years and claim a tax credit?
