This is still mostly academic interest at this point, but I wanted to try and understand what it would take to get the Leaf talking to the Torque App on Android. This is not intended as a knock on LeafSpy, which is a phenomenally useful tool. It's DTC capabilities alone have already been...

It seems like the PTC Heater efficiency is pretty high on people's list of gripes about the 2011/12 Leafs. I had been planning on leaving it out of my conversion all together, given how mild the climate typically is here in Phoenix, but our current lows in the 30s are reminding me that it would...

Ok, this probably sounds a bit wacky, but anyone have any thoughts on the feasibility? It's perhaps not totally crazy, as most modern switching power supplies convert AC to DC, then generate AC at a much higher frequency, then convert that AC back to DC at the desired output voltage. Basically...

Hello all, If any one is willing I could use some help figuring out what might be keeping my "Leaf" from charging, and also thought the CAN data captured might be of interest to those working on documenting the CAN messages in the Leaf. Background: This is a 2012 Nissan Leaf drive system...

Thought some folks here might find this interesting :) Part 1 I posted back in June: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OBHiTLkANc Part 2 finally posted last night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONOlbu2Haww Eventually I will be transplanting most of this salvaged Leaf's drive and control...

Thought this might be of interest to some folks here working on or modding their Leafs. I'm in the process of tearing down a salvage 2012 Leaf to relocate the drive system into another vehicle. At this point I've removed the dash and most of the interior, removed the battery, and removed...

In case it helps somebody, in preparing to remove the battery pack it occurred to me that it would probably be possible to run new wiring between the rear mounted charger area and the engine bay without dropping the battery. Could be handy for charger upgrades or other mods. I haven't tried...

I know there has been some discussion of this in the past, but the conversation seems to quickly devolve into "just buy a Brusa" ;) I get why that may make more sense in many cases, but with the availability of used Leaf parts picking up it still seems like this could be a path to faster...

Hello all! I'm hoping you might be so kind as to help me get up to speed on the Leaf systems, as I delve into this new project! I've been very active in the Prius community for many years now, but my dream has always been to drive an EV. I've come pretty close to jumping into a conversion...
