Sure. Is yours an S+ or and SL or SV plus? I do understand the niro is pretty efficient but I'm interesting to see once I get the regen braking right what I get on this 21 niro.

I just decided to move on to a vehicle with a bigger and better battery and figure out how to make some extra money to pay for it

That kick when you turn off eco mode. I only ever turn it off when traffic is rough and I need to be aggressive. I hit sport mode when test driving the Niro and it was like I got kicked. When you put it back in eco mode you can literally feel the regenerative drag of the motor

I ended up getting a Kia Niro. Better range, CCS and active BMA at the same price as the Leaf SV and SL pluses are going for in my area. Thanks

I really appreciate this forum. It helped me as a newbie Leaf owner and also helped me figure out everything I needed to do the level 2 charge port replacement on my 2015 leaf. Please DM me if you want to ask a question about that or anything related to that. I know I wasn't super regular...

Congrats. That is a lot of charging but should work. Once you get familiar with the drive you can probably figure out exactly what you need with a margin for error. My favorite strategy is to find a Kroger, Wholefoods, Kohls or other stop on the way home where you wouldn't mind...

That is kind of what I expected. I do have a level 2 charger at home so that is not an issue. Honestly other then replacing the charge port on red which thankfully I was able to figure out how to do myself all I did was a pair of tires in the time I owned her

I'm looking at replacing Red. As expected she was totaled out. Is it worth it to get a 2019 + and then driver rideshare on the side to make a little extra income? other then the guy in Indy who had the battery module issue anyone know any other opinions on this subject?

Good information. I'm also looking at a clone of red! Another 2015 with charge package with less then 50K and only one bar down and since it is from a dealer it is eligible for the IRA tax credit

So is this why I don't really see any 2016-2017 Leafs on the used car market? they are pretty much dead?

thanks for the tip so it might have 9 or 10 bars with the correct firmware? I made a post over on the 16/17 30 kwh degradation thread as well

Opinion so should I buy a 17 with 8 bars for 6500? Is it worth the hassle to try to get a new battery from Nissan?

My teenager totaled Red. A big mistake to let a new driver drive that car. He ran it under an SUV that bent everything into the engine. Looking at options. I found a 17 with 60000 miles but 8 bars for a decent price. I figure I pay cash, go to the stealer and get it fixed? I have...

Get the trouble code with an OBD tool and then take it from there. If all else fails you can find an upgraded fast charger from a donor car and put it on your leaf. A real win win. Also check the fuse. There is a fuse in the charge port under the rubber covering behind the plastic socket...

Thank you. I don't know how many wrench turners are on this forum. I was on a Mercedes Forum for a long time when I had older Benzs. That is quite the active wrench turning community. If there is a place though where I can post this for mechanically inclined Leaf owners looking for...

Success! Steps and observations. First My hunch is that this could be a 50 dollar repair plus the cost of a heat gun. If you remove the cowling around the charge port and the plastic piece over the radiator and such you can loosen the screws holding the charge port. You can move the...

This youtuber and leaf owner did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kyR5omOQu8

Update. Parts ordered, its in stock locally so I'm hoping to have it to work on this weekend. I'm probably going to start doing the disassembly part time this week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiiDIEmc4HU This actually looks very doable. I've actually done bigger and more challenging jobs. The first key is the battery disconnect which they show in the video and then the next is removing the wipers and the tray they sit in to get access. Feeling...

So I found a UK video where they take the lid of the charger unit and I can see where it connects. I guess the question is can I route the cable without lifting it
