I went to start my 2015 LEAF SL a few days ago and got the error message "T/M System Malfunction". The car would not start or allow me to put in into gear. I feared that there was something major wrong with the transmission. Thanks to this forum I leaned that this message is often seen, when...

Does anyone know where I can get an "Electric Car" or "100% Electric" Decal for my LEAF? I would prefer a window decal, if I could find one.

Is it possible to add a quick charge port like a ChaDeMo to a 2015 LEAF SV?

Is it possible to add a quick charge port like a ChaDeMo to a 2015 LEAF SV?

Would someone please explain to me what change should be seen on a GID Meter during cool weather? Will a fully charged cool battery (say 50 degrees F) hold fewer GID's than a warm battery? I typically look at the %GID value and assume about 1 mile per %. So, if a cool battery holds fewer...

I own a 2012 LEAF. After an overnight charge and in Eco mode, the GOM guess of Miles To Go is frequently 10 miles high. It then drops drastically in the first few miles of driving. I do own a GID Meter, which, of course, does not go through such gyrations. My question is - are we confident...

I'm a little confused about the 281 GID number, that is supposedly typical of a full, new battery LEAF charge. How accurate is that value? Since I got my GID meter together and working about a week ago, I have charged our 2012 model LEAF three times - always to 100%. Immediately after those...

Does anyone know anything about the new 6.6 Kw on-board charger that is an option for the 2013 LEAF? Can it be retrofitted to a 2012 LEAF? How much does the charger and it's installation cost? Are there 3rd party alternatives?

I have just read that Nissan now guarantees the LEAF battery to retain 70% of its capacity for 5 years or 60,000 miles, as indicated by at least 9 out of 12 battery charge bars displayed after a 100% charge. Does this mean that some LEAF owners in Arizona now see less than 9 battery charge bars...

Have LEAF owners considered the inconsistency between the LEAF Manual's recommendation not to charge the battery, when it's hot, and the use of public charging equipment? If I find that my LEAF needs a little extra charging during the afternoon, I allow the car to sit and the battery to cool...

One thing that I have noticed about the Climate Control System on my LEAF is that it is Air Conditioner-Happy! It is common for me to look down and find (via the AC indicator light) that the car has decided for me that I should have the air conditoner turned on - for example, because I have...

I was driving my LEAF home late yesterday. The GoM showed about 20mi. of range left. It was about dusk, but I had no lights turned on. Given that my available energy was so low, I was paying a lot of attention to it, so I had the "Energy Info." display on the center navigation screen. For the...

Would someone please fill me in on the LEAF Battery Temperature Gauge reading (the bar gauge on the left of the main display in front of the driver)? On my LEAF that gauge starts out in the middle of the (white) normal range, when the car has sat in the garage all night - i.e., the battery is...

My Nissan dealer told me that with my LEAF battery it is a good idea to totally discharge the battery occasionally in order to extend battery life. This in addition to the normal Nissan guidance to only charge the battery to 80%, also to extend battery life. My confusion is that I am pretty...

I am slated to receive a new 2012 LEAF in a couple of weeks. Do any of you experienced LEAF owners have any suggestions of things to look out for, check, etc? As a side note, this LEAF was ordered in late December, 2011, but is slated to be delivered by late January,2012. Amazing!

I know that it is the case with Lithium Ion batteries for power tools, that storing them in hot conditions (like a hot garage) fully or 80% charged can lead to substantial capacity loss. Is this a concern to the LEAF Li-Ion batteries?
