Reading the forum, I see people having good results with LiFepo4 batteries. They’re 12.8 rather than 12 nominal (batteries are a bit like balloons) and leafs don’t seem to like it if their voltage is even a little bit below 12, so it seems like the way out. The problem is I don’t know what...

Well, there are people already using them so I suspect they do. They aren’t exactly the same. Their nominal voltage is 12.8 rather than 12v. Since the leaf seems to have a really high voltage cut off point this seems like an advantage rather than the reverse. They’re much more expensive than...

So I had a door sensor start registering the door as open even when it wasn’t. I made an appointment with a dealer to have it fixed, but when I tried to go the car was dead as a doorman. My suspicion is the 12v got eaten. Will I need a new battery? Replacing my battery when it went with a...

Hills and aero matter a lot. I live in Minnesota where it gets really cold in the winter. Out of the 145mi I had in the summer, I got an Bout 125 below freezing and 99 below zero. Commuting was fine below zero, I just had to plug it in every day.

It does it very slowly though. A few percent an hour. This is ok for commuting because you can do it overnight, but you might wind up having to spend several hours at that library

Ouch. Steps clearly need to be taken.

Depends on the tires and the car. Sometimes one gets lucky and it’s not needed.

The thing I liked about the electric car is for me “gas” was $1.25/gal and I could charge it to my house power which lowered costs further. It’s probably cheaper for you as where I live has pretty high electrical cost. For me electric over ICE was an economic decision rather than an...

Woohaa! So double is conservative, and I can do that no trouble! And staying off three way is probably good. Thanks!😊

-deleted- I misinterpreted the defintion of NW

Yeah. I was hoping for some sort of vague ballpark. I got literally no idea. I don’t want to get stuck on the freeway. It takes me a bit over 10% to get there without a trailer. So I got 80+% to play with when I arrive. I can charge at the site but only phase 1 so if I need more than 80%...

With no info budgeting double but I guess it might be higher. I’ve got to do some freeway driving in a move. I’ve got an open to trailer I’m gonna fill with boxes. The trailer is not huge. Single axel. How bad will it be?

Perhaps it’s just a thing in mine

Modern tire pressure systems are not direct. They need to spin the wheels for a bit to get anything. If you’re testing at a standstill you’re going to get nothing. Not leafspy’s fault. The new ones are better because you don’t need special wheel rims with non-removable batteries in them

Doesn’t surprise me. LiFEpo4 has several disadvantages along with its single advantage.

Only replying to agree. For some reason “likes” aren’t appearing for me.

*imagines the ending of the movie “Nosfreratu” The silent one. Then imagines the movie “Cars”* You’ve got to set a trap and catch it in the light.

Tire size can affect the speedo too. Mine is off. Speedo reads high.

The biggest problem is chadmo. You basically have to hop from Nissan dealer to Nissan dealer. It’s possible but slow.
