I virtually never use ECO mode in my July 2013 Leaf SV. In a "recent" ECO mode thread, it was stated that ECO reduces power consumption by the HVAC system. I briefly tried monitoring this in LeafSpy and did not see a difference in wattage indicated for heat or A/C. I'll admit I spent very...

I'm going to have a consultation/estimate from an electrician about running a 240 V circuit to our garage. We're planning to have this done in two houses, actually, because we may be moving back and forth and would want to take the EVSE with us to whichever location we're currently using...

Is there a copy of the LeafSpy help screen online somewhere? It would be nice to be able to read the help file on my laptop while using the Service screen on LeafSpy.

This morning I went outside and found the car had quite a bit of dew on all the windows. I turned it on in accessory mode (two presses of the power button without a foot on the brake), set the heater on recirulate and 65°, and went back inside for about 9 minutes. When I came back the heat...

Anyone have a recommendation for an electrician in the Seattle area to run a new 240 V line ? Specifically, we want to run 240 V from our house to detached garage with a new panel in the garage (which currently has just a small 120 V panel) and an outlet for an EVSE there, then also from there...

Sorry for a question that has undoubtedly been asked and answered many times, but search didn't immediately turn up the answer: A guy at work asked if I could give him a jumpstart. Neither of us had cables, so he had to wait 15 minutes until the campus cops came and bailed him out. Had we had...

I bought new Honda inserts as described in the big wiper thread. Driver's side was trivially easy to replace. I can't seem to get the passenger's side insert out of the blade. It seems to be fixed in place just proximal to the hinge joint in the blade. Is there some trick to this that I'm...

I put new Ecopia Plus tires on my car a year ago. Wet road traction isn't very reassuring, and now that rain is returning, my wife wants to scrap them for being "too dangerous." I am considering these...

What is the highest tire pressure you are comfortable running in replacement Ecopias?

OK, I'm being an idiot, but I give up: how can I tell when the heater is operating in heat pump mode vs. resistance mode? After 3/4 year of fairly regular looking at LeafSpy, I still don't get it. Maybe I need to RTFM for the car *again,* but it's more fun to ask here. Unless I want fan-only...

I noticed when frequent rain began in the fall that LeafSpy showed the DC/DC converter maintains 14.4 V for as long as the wipers are on, and that my attempts to recharge the 12 V battery manually with an external charger every-other weekend resulted in the charge rate immediately dropping to...

In September, I replaced my tires, and both the dashboard and LeafSpy seemed to agree that my miles/kWh dropped by 10% or a little more. Driving conditions for the first few weeks were still almost entirely dry road, daylight and no climate control. Then, over the last month, daytime high...

When I turned on my car this AM, dashboard said 23% then almost immediately clicked down to 22%. LeafSpy said 30.3% then clicked to 30.2%. Who to believe? Why such a big mismatch? I've seen mismatches sometimes, but not always. This is the worst I've noticed.

I want to replace my 12 V battery immediately, since it is over four years old and I've had a couple of car batteries go Tango Uniform around five years. Not a hassle I'm willing to endure to save 20% of the cost of a battery. The 2013 owner's manual has NO mention of changing out the 12 V...

Dashboard says I average 5.2 mi/KWh around town pretty much all the time last Sunday morning I drove from Ballard to Issaquah high school and back. L1 charged to 100% and reset energy history. Fifty miles round trip, first five across town as per usual. 1st mile or so down I-5 moving with...

Several times, I've got out of the car and noticed only at the last second that I had not hit the power button after the Park button. Last night I went out for a quick last-minute trip to the grocery store and found the car was still "on." It had been sitting in the driveway for about three...

Sorry for the stupid question, but I spent the maximum possible amount of time Googling this (5 minutes) and failed to find the answer. Why are there two numbers, 4.1 and (3.9) for mi/kWh when displaying the Chrg option? My guess was net mileage and (without regeneration), but if that was...

I'm down to an estimated 1.5 miles to LBW, 11.2 miles to VLBW at 5.1 miles/kWh, which is what I've been averaging, (29.9% SOC, 18.9% GIDs, 53 GIDs) and want to run it pretty low today to determine my overall range, but don't want to be one block from home and unable to make it up the alley...

I purchased a 2013 SV (July build) on 5/31. Test drive on 5/24 (28 miles) SOH was 86%, Hx 83.93. Day of purchase, SOH was 85% and Hx 83.77 (didn't drive again before purchase or attach LeafSpy until leaving; by odo no one drove it in the interim). Almost every drive the Hx ticks down about...

My "new" 2013 Leaf sat overnight in my driveway for 12 hours. LeafSpy says SOC went from 63.4% to 62.9%. Is that the typical rate for running the things that are on when the car is "off?"
