    2018 Leaf full brake replacement

    Had the brake fluid flushed when the ABS part was replaced.

    J-1772 plug/socket not engaging

    It interesting to note that Clipper Creek was very responsive in helping me solve the problem with my J-1772 plug. A service person asked me for a photo of the plug end. He sent it back to me with an indication of what was wrong and told me how to fix it. On of the connectors inside the plug...

    J-1772 plug/socket not engaging

    Thanks for the suggestions. Where on the connector and nozzle did you put the silicon grease?

    J-1772 plug/socket not engaging

    I have had a problem with the J-1772 nozzle of my Clipper Creek EVSE not plugin all the way - not clicking in. After emails from a very helpful Clipper Creek service technician, I was able to fix the problem with the nozzle/plug after following his instructions. Had no problem with my Nissan...

    J-1772 Plug/Nozzle not going in

    Has anyone had a problem with the plug/nozzle on their EVSE not plugging in all the way? Mine stops short of snapping in. When I try the portable L2 charger supplied with my Nissan S+ it works without problems. Does anyone have any suggestions. By the way when I look closely at the plug I am...

    Door Locking Problem

    The Fob was not in the car when the problem occurred. Yesterday I was in the same underground parking garage again. I made sure not to park near the ventilation fan. Again, I had trouble locking and unlocking the car with the button on the door handle. Fortunately the Fob worked fine. By...

    Goodbye Leaf, Hello Bolt Thanks to Carvana

    I can hardly believe that you sold your 2017 S for $19K to Carvana. Six months ago I sold my 2017 S to a dealer for $12K, maybe I could have gotten a bit more. They sold it in just a few weeks for just under $16K. So they made a tidy profit. Since I was anxious to get an S+, which were very...

    blue charging leds

    The other day the right most blue led started blinking when the car was off and not charging for no apparent reason on my 2022 S+. Stopped after I started the car. Hasn't happened again. Has anyone had this happen to their car? Any idea what is going on?

    Door Locking Problem

    I had a strange problem with the handle lock on my 2022 Leaf. I was in a parking garage next to a large ventilation fan. The doors would not lock with the handle lock but would lock when using the key fob. When I returned to the car I had to use the key fob to unlock the doors. After I left...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    SOH over 91% at 5 years is amazing. When I traded my 2017 Leaf in March for an S+ it had a little less mileage than yours and was just a few weeks short of 5 years. Yet its state of health was just over 82%. I guess that is partly the luck of getting a better battery or maybe a cooler climate...

    What about electric mowers and outboards?

    I have several EGO tools a self propelled lawn mower, string trimmer, blower, and edger. The oldest is the lawn mower at 4 1/2 years. The 7.5 ah battery is still going strong. I never store the batteries at 100% charge, always between 20% and 60% in our basement where it is cool in the...

    Battery Capacity Gauge and Leaf Spy.

    It appears that your math is a bit confused. The derivative of resistance is not equal to the resistance itself unless the resistance is an exponential function of the current I. In addition, derivatives involve a limit so your expression (V1-V2/(I1-I2) is not the derivative. Why do you bring...

    Battery Capacity Gauge and Leaf Spy.

    It's hardly a mystery how the Leaf BMS most likely determines battery conductance (Hx). Some can still remember from basis electronics that resistance (R) is equal to voltage (V) divided current (I), then R = V / I. Using differential calculus, R = dV / dI, or R = (V1 - V2) / (I1 - I2). So to...

    Charging at an RV Park?

    I had planned to do exactly the same thing with our Clipper Creek 24 amp EVSE, but Clipper Creek told me that cutting off the neutral would void the warranty. I had no idea why since it isn't used by the EVSE. So I made an adapter by using a short cord with a 14-50 plug and attaching a 14-30R...

    Share Your Home Electrification/Efficiency Improvements

    I didn't see any other mention of solar heating except for opening shades. We have what we call a solar green house and two Sunmate solar heating panels. Together they supply between 30% and 50% of our heating. We also have insulated shades on most of our windows that more than double the...

    2018 Leaf full brake replacement

    Had a problem with my 2017 Leaf S, when the first dealer I went to told me I needed a new master cylinder with controller. Estimated cost about $4k. Then had the car towed to the dealer where I bought the car that is farther away from us. That dealer diagnosed as the driver side abs...

    The 62kWh Battery Topic

    That is amazing. My 4 month old S+ has already lost 2.5% SOH. It seems for me that with this Leaf and my previous 2017 S time has been the most significant factor in battery degradation.

    Level 2 charger and rooftop solar

    We have solar on our roof with no battery backup. Our system is too small to provide enough power even at noon time to meet the needs of our L2 charger. We still generate more than enough electricity in a year to cover all of our needs including our electric car. Why is there a need to not...

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    I traded in my 2017 Leaf on a 2022 S+ in March, which I was lucky to get. I do like the Leaf and its new safety features and especially the longer range. My 2017 had just lost one bar one when I traded it in. The one thing that I really dislike about the Leaf is its battery degradation. I...
