    Price for gas in BC

    Feeling lucky to have switched to an EV 5 years ago as our primary car... Gas prices in Vancouver (Canada) are predicted to reach $6 USD per gallon equivalent ($2.00 per liter CAD) by this weekend. Just over the border, in Seattle, gas prices are as low as $3.40 USD per gallon. To be sure, we...

    Kuhl Racing created a heavily modified and almost unrecognizable LEAF

    https://insideevs.com/news/343774/nissan-leaf-transformed-into-something-very-unique-by-kuhl-racing/amp/ Barely recognizable as a LEAF, had to look twice to be sure! I guess that's why they did it, to prove that it could be done. Can't imagine trying to drive it anywhere, but it does look...

    EVs Enhanced battery pack option for New Zealanders, other markets too?

    Wow, this is pretty cool and I wish them well as they appear to be a mature and trustworthy company who has already innovated with other EV solutions to date. An aftermarket LEAF pack, with chemistry options and active cooling is fantastic, provided they can offer these solutions for a...

    Using batteries instead of V2G

    [MOD: This off-topic discussion split from https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=32772&p=615034#p615034] :( A decent quality LiFePO4 server rack battery pack, with BMS, can be purchased for under $300 per kWh now. These packs can be directly wired to an inverter, or connected...

    Unfair DC fast charge pricing for LEAFs

    In British Columbia (BC) where I live, we have a utilities commission (BCUC) that essentially makes it impossible for private enterprises to resell electric power. As a consequence, all of the DC fast charging stations charge by the minute or by the hour. I find it really annoying that a newer...

    Candela C-7: Electric, hydrofoil boat that's amazing!

    Came across the Candela C-7, electric powered, hydrofoil boat while browsing on YouTube last week: https://candela.com/candela-c-7/ It uses the same lithium ion pack as a BMW i3 (40 kWh, NMC), with a peak motor power output of 70 kW but uses only 16 kW @ 23 knots and 37 kW at top speed...

    Warmed up LFP batteries superior to NMC?

    So, this is interesting... Full article: https://thedriven.io/2021/01/19/warmed-up-electric-car-batteries-could-be-cheaper-safer-and-last-two-million-miles/amp/ A counter intuitive result, but it sounds promising.

    Using hydrogen fuel cells to DC Fast charge EVs

    A containerized, EV charging solution that generates electricity via hydrogen fuel cells: https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/12/20191231-afc.html https://www.afcenergy.com/products/hydrox-cell_l/ Seems like a much better use of hydrogen fuel cells vs powering cars with hydrogen fuel cells...

    Energy consumption metrics

    Just curious if anyone has a definitive answer on the energy efficiency calculation discrepancy between the dash metric and the one available in the Zero Emmissions (blue button) LCD infotainment panel on SV/SL trims. They tend to converge over time, but I have noticed that, after resetting...

    Taking over a lease on a LEAF

    I'm considering taking over a lease on a 2016 Nissan LEAF SV (30 kWh pack). Because of the financial incentive from the lessee, the adjusted monthly payments will be very reasonable. Given the amount of $ we pay monthly for gas on our ICE, taking over the lease is going to be almost entirely...

    Rust on end of driveshaft after switching to steel wheels for winter tires

    I don't have a picture to share yet, but I'm noticing quite a bit of rust on the exposed threads of the front driveshafts, after switching to steel wheels for winter. With the stock SV wheels, the ends of the driveshafts are covered, so I never found rust before the switch. Anyone have a...
