    Chademo killed my new 2018 Leaf

    I don't know. I think this problem is not likely to affect many of us who don't take long trips. I think the car is great in so many other ways that this issue is probably not a deal breaker for most people. At least here on the East Coast where distances tend to be short and L2 chargers...

    True. I would take it back anyway and let them tell me they didn't find anything wrong. But that's just me. I expect I would be wasting time, but at least they would have a record of the complaint. If it is a common problem and everyone complains they might get motivated to do something. See...

    Have you contacted Nissan about this? Or taken it back to the dealer for a check?

    Well, when I saw this was headed nowhere I called my insurance company. The insurance rep said that it probably would not be covered by my insurance. And she said that although she is not allowed to gove legal advise she suggests I talk to a lawyer and she ran through some talking points about...

    This appears to be coming to a close without a conclusion on what caused the problem. Since my last post there has been someone from Nissan (Tennessee) here working with the dealer technician. I assumed all this time they were trying to figure out what happened so they could place blame. But...

    This is what they are telling me. It seems it is not so straightforward to determine which is at fault. They sent someome to look at the car this week and I am told he wass not able to determine. A team from the factory in Tennesee is scheduled to come out on Tuesday to look further...

    Yeah, your prbably right about that. I don't think he would know if something changed.

    As I understand, it is not a 30 day deadline, it is that I have to give them 30 days to make it right before I can invoke the lemon law and demand replacement or refund. Maybe I misunderstood.

    The dealer sevice manager says the people at the factory are really interested in my car because no one has ever seen this before. The folks at Greenlots said the same, that this is the first they have seen. Service guy says there was no change to the CHAdeMO port, it is the same hardware and...

    Chademo killed my new 2018 Leaf

    No update yet. Nissan sent someone "from the factory" to look at the car earlier this week. And I have been interviewed twice by Nissan customer service asking what happened. They have lots of questions for me but nothing about how or why they think this might have happened or what they plan to...

    Yes, that was the day of my mishap. That was apparently posted after the mishap. I tried to report the machine malfunction at the time, but plugshare was not allowing me to for some reason. So I left unreported. But I did not see that report at the time. Friday the 23rd was when I heard back...

    Yep, really loved that e-pedal.

    It will be interesting to find out what caused this. But right now I really feel like I'm more interested in how I am going to get a replacement car. I did really like my Leaf for the brief week and a half and maybe 600 miles or so that I got to drive it.

    Greenlots said the charger was made by Signet.

    Greenlots was the company that managed the charger, the guy at Greenlots said that Signet was the manufacturer of the charger.

    sh I believe it was not on. Certainly not intentionally. But it shouldn't matter. These things need to be idiot proof if they are going to be a mainstream mode of transportation. Anyone could forget to push the stop button.

    Sorry 6kW not 6kV. Would 6kV at 1 amp kill the Leaf? That would still be 6kW.

    Chademo killed my new 2018 Leaf

    When the charger started there was a bang and smoke from the charger. My car had to be towed to the dealer where it sits today. I'll give the long version of my story: I pulled up to the chargers, planning on parking my car at the 6kV and going back to my office. I have done this a couple of...
