Another test today, this time starting at a higher initial SOC and around the same initial battery temp. Sure enough the drop happened at exactly the same SOC as before (just under 57%), even though the temp was lower today when it hit that SOC. So this at least gives one definitive answer, that...

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. But I do have a friend with the same Leaf who will test and see if he gets the same SOC level drop off. And I'm going to do one more test starting at a higher SOC (like 50%) and cool battery just to make sure. I am familiar with the way the power works...

Alright... I did a proper test this morning at a full 50kW capable station with LeafSpy logging enabled and here is what I found... From 30% SOC the rate started at 45kW and went to a max of 47kW until 57% SOC at which point it started dropping quickly and was at 25kW by 75% SOC. I am not sure...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am familiar with that and also have LeafSpy as mentioned in the original post, but again compared to a 24kW Leaf I seem to be consistently slower even at the same charger. I’m going to try and do a specific test this week at low SOC and cool battery, with...

This is not a DCFC limitation, it's been with numerous stations over the last couple of years. I see others on PlugShare reporting higher rates than I get for the station I am using. And as per my one example, another Leaf got 47kW at the same station where I maxed out at 38kW. I've used 100 kW...

I am trying to determine whether or not to ask my dealer to pursue investigating my Leaf for slower than expected DCFC. I have the appropriate software update installed (NTB19-056) and confirmed the firmware through LeafSpy (5SA3B). However the highest speed I have ever seen at a 50+ kW DCFC...

Hi all, Long time Leaf driver here. I'm part of a non-profit in Ontario representing EV owners groups in the province and we have entered a competition for funding from a Canadian insurance company (Aviva). Please consider voting for our project which will help drivers make the switch to...

Apps are updated and working now in Canada, both iOS and Android. Much more secure now, user's password is encrypted prior to sending and a session id is required after authentication. The way it should have always been really!

Yep Canadian, sorry to get you excited! Not actually very impressive.

I love RAM mounts, they are expensive but they work and never break. I figured out that a yoke clamp (designed for an airplane yoke) attaches quite nicely to the air vent and back of the center console (the part that sticks up above the dash). It's easily removable and quite sturdy (see photo)...

For anyone needing the region code for Canada, it's "NCI" (NNA won't work).

I just discovered this project yesterday and immediately backed them, this is something I have been wanting for a while (I'm already an active LeafSpy Pro user). There was a new update today that they will be throwing in local storage OR cellular connectivity for no additional cost for backers...

Yep is was the default in Canada, I did not need to change anything and I have not seen anywhere to change it. I got the LBW with about 16km left in my trip. I expected to see VLBW before arriving but I never did.
