My long term average as shown on the center console of my 2011 LEAF is 4.8 miles per kWh. With a 2023 standard range Tesla Model 3, it typically uses slightly more than 200Wh per mile which is similar to the LEAF’s average. However, I am driving about 10 mph faster on the freeways with the...

Did you check if the problem with AC charging is due to a diode failure in the OBC? There are threads on this forum covering diagnosis and repair. Sorry, can’t help with the OBC/battery question.

Could be the 12V battery. Check the voltage at rest and under load.

Gerry is correct regarding the Supercharger network. However, do you mean charging from a Level 2 Tesla charger? An adapter that accepts the Tesla plug that converts to a J1772 plug will work. The Leaf’s onboard charger limits the amount of power that is drawn. For the 2012, it will be either...

Please describe the status of the 3 lights on the dash. Check that the charging timer is not set.

https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=630161#p630161 Another post regard a stuck plug. WAG- could this be a low 12V battery problem or blown fuse in the car?

That “combination” unit would need to have a relay so that if one 5-15 plug was connected and the other was not, it would not energize the other plug. If it could, it would be unsafe.

Gary Giddings passed away today. Known as GaryGid, he was active on this forum starting before the LEAF was available, encouraging the adoption of EVs, founding a still active EV meeting group in Orange County, CA, and using his technical skills to understand and report on the behavior of the...

I may be selling a Brusa with its mounting plate and the LeafDD controller. My 2011 was involved in a collision a couple of days ago and will probably be totaled. I will post information after disposal of the car is decided.

There is a rubber O-ring deep inside the Jplug that can become out of place. Another possibility is the latch on the Jplug may not be opening.

Yes, it violates the J1772 protocol and can be unsafe.

Correct. For a 240V circuit, an EVSE uses Ground and two powered lines. The linked adapters should be fine.

That rules out the battery’s condition limiting regeneration.

What was the traction battery’s State of Charge at those times? What capacity loss does your battery have?

Could the smell be from hot plastic? Check the J1772 plug and receiver for signs of overheating, burn marks, deformation, etc. If nothing looks amiss, start a charging. After 15 minutes or so, check for noticeable heat at the J1772 connection, the EVSE and the wall socket (if it is a plug in...

Abasile wrote many posts addressing this issue. He lived in the mountains about 5000’ above San Bernardino. This was around 10 years ago. He had the first generation LEAF. Search for his posts or a thread.

Both Dala (Finland) and/or Mux (Netherlands) have been active on this forum delving into modifying the car. They probably have a way to intervene.

WAG- How old is your 12V battery?
