    Comparison: Why I Chose a Nissan Leaf Plus over a Tesla Model 3

    I made the same purchase decision about 6 weeks ago and bought a 2019 SL Leaf Plus, that went into service in 2020 with an soh of 91.5%. The decision was a combination of features, value and lower total cost of ownership. In the US we have a $4,000 tax credit for used EV or phev, The...

    100 kW Charging

    Thanks for posting that thread, I missed it when I was researching QC. Good information, now I'm not quite so discouraged by my first QC charge at evgo. Next time I'll try a different network.

    100 kW Charging

    I've had my 2019 SL Plus for about 5 weeks, yesterday I tried an evgo 100 KW charger to test the car's chademo QC. It was disappointing and I'm rethinking an upcoming 280 mile road trip. The car and battery pack were cool, outside temp mid 70's, my SoH is 91.5%, SoC was 48% when I started. The...

    Not sure about the maximum, but I just used a 32 GB drive to upgrade the maps in my 2019 SL.

    Increasing SOH

    I've only had my 2019 Leaf SL Plus for a few weeks. When I first checked the car the SOH was 90.5%, I've driven it 3 weeks and the soh is now reading 91.49%. The HX dropped from 78.3 to 76.3 but I have no idea if these fluctuations are normal. My impression was that change happens slowly over...

    Best battery practices?

    I'm a new owner of a 2019 Leaf SL with the 62 KW pack. I tend to keep a car a long time. I've read dozens of articles and threads on best practices for charging my EV and I find conflicting information. I'm also probably overthinking things, it's my super power. Interestingly, my SOH went up...

    Need a replacement portable charger

    My complex has two chargepoint network chargers at 6.6 KW an hour billed at $0.19 a kilowatt hour. Those will provide 95% of my charging needs as long as I live in my current unit . Again, this is about having a portable charger I can use when traveling and purchasing one with the maximum...

    Need a replacement portable charger

    Thank you for your advice and for taking the time to reply to my question. My takeaway from your answer is that there are better options than the OEM charger, and probably less expensive. My current living situation is a rental condo and there's no way to charge my leaf from the apartment. I...

    Need a replacement portable charger

    I need help sorting a problem with my portable charger. Two weeks ago I purchased a 2019 SL Plus from Carvana. I just checked the included portable charger, it's brand new, but a Tesla charger. Since I'm out of the 7-Day return. I need to use their 100-day warranty and want to go into the...

    REALLY!!! $200 gas tax.

    I'm in Texas and recently bought a 2019 SL Plus, ours tags include a $200 EV fee and I was surprised to see that. Yes, it's a tad unfair. Especially considering I drive about 6,000 mi a year. For me, the Leaf isn't saving any money compared to the Honda it replaced. But it was a huge tech...

    Best apps to find charging stations, Texas

    I'm a new owner of a 2019 SL Plus, it's my first EV, and I'm on a learning curve. I live in North Texas, Dallas. What apps do you find most useful for locating charging stations, especially for road trips? There are dozens in the play store, it's a lot to sort through. I'll be using a level 2...

    Buying a 2019 SL Plus

    Yes, both I and the car qualify for the $4k federal tax credit. Some dealers let you apply that at time of purchase, Carvana does not. I will deduct it off my income taxes next year. Considering recent EV depreciation after Tesla's price cuts, plus used EV tax credit, it's an excellent deal, for...

    Buying a 2019 SL Plus

    Thank you. In my case, I have a couple of level 2 chargers in my complex. I actually don't have a convenient 110 outlet to plug the car in. So my charging plan is a 6.6kh level 2 charger to keep the battery topped up a couple of times a week

    Buying a 2019 SL Plus

    Thank you everyone for your time and replies. The paperwork is going a little slow between my credit union and carvana, but I'm hoping to pick the car up Wednesday. I purchased Leafspy Pro and an OBD2 reader and will check the SOH at the dealership. Leafspy is a complicated program with a steep...
