    What is your Average miles per kwh?

    Mine are from the Leaf dashboard. I reset the counter at the start of each month. Counting energy from the wall outlet will of course result in lower numbers as onboard chargers (or offboard in the case of DC chargers) are typically around 90% efficient. On tire pressures, I'm well above...

    What is your Average miles per kwh?

    I've been hovering around 4.7mi/kWh yearly average, for the last couple of years. This year will be a bit less (on track for 4.665). Not using the Leaf as much these days. Was averaging over 10mi/day before the Model Y, now averaging more like 1-2mi/day.

    Electric Boating

    Hmmm... looks like all the video links I posted are now not clickable, and lost their thumbnail image. Possibly a result of some recent forum migration? The forum appearance seems to have changed.

    Leaf Turns on, Won't Start, Error lights-Help!

    Glad that helped. And ever since that happened to me, I make sure the car is off before unplugging the EVSE. Have not had a repeat episode of the problem.

    Leaf Turns on, Won't Start, Error lights-Help!

    I would try disconnecting and reconnecting the 12V battery. And take that opportunity to check its voltage.

    How To: Reduction Gear Oil Change

    Good video; thanks for posting. Looks like I made a good choice. I had used RedLine's products in my karting days, so had an idea of their quality.

    Brakes Fail upon Powering On

    This happened again last night, in my driveway, when starting the car to move it. Symptoms: - loud fluid-pumping sound on initial startup (2-3 seconds) - various yellow dash icons - rapid pulsing sound on even a light touch of the brake pedal - car can only be stopped (once in gear) by...

    Tesla vs Leaf comparison

    I saw those standard-range (but they won't call them that) Y's around here too, and it was tempting. We decided not to give up the 15% range. So I'm taking a chance on the tax credit. It may get cut in half next month, or I might get lucky and IRS may still not be ready to clarify the rules...

    Leaf Spy User Mistake. Can it be fixed?

    In the handful of times I've re-registered my tire-pressure senders with LSP, I've not needed to get very close to the prescribed pressures to have it work. I believe all LSP needs is to see 'reasonable' gaps (2psi+?) between the tire pressures it receives. And of course the order of the tires...

    Decent SOH But Down One Bar

    A few days ago I noticed I was down one bar. Went back over pictures and narrowed it down to having happened early fall of last year. But SOH reported by LSP is above where I think the cutoff is: I think what happened is that I dipped below the 12-bar cutoff in fall of last year, and have...

    Electric Boating

    Wow that IS an impressive build. I too considered foiling as out of reach. And there's a degree of impracticality involved, for launching/beaching/retrieving. Active/articulating systems on the high-dollar setups solve that, but that really raises the bar for us DIYers. I'm glad you were...

    12v battery replacement recommendations?

    I just checked mine and it was being charged, with the dashboard reporting 27F. Charge rates were less than 1A. So we could be looking at Leftie's second possibility. But then I think we have to modify that usual "You can't charge LFP below freezing (without damaging them)" statement to "You...

    12v battery replacement recommendations?

    I've had Ohmmu's battery in my Leaf for 3.5 years now. Zero problems, and I've used it below freezing many times, below 20F on occasion. I'm not clear on how they're able to charge LFP chemistry below freezing, but it appears to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wcz5oXY1tY
