I am trying to determine whether or not to ask my dealer to pursue investigating my Leaf for slower than expected DCFC. I have the appropriate software update installed (NTB19-056) and confirmed the firmware through LeafSpy (5SA3B). However the highest speed I have ever seen at a 50+ kW DCFC...

I have a 2012 Leaf and am right now at the first stop of what is supposed to be a 100 mile (160km) trip. My problem is that after 56km at 8.6 km/kWh efficiency it is only showing 7 bars remaining (started at 12, 100% charge). Using the range chart it should comfortably be within 8 bars. What I...

As I pick up my new Leaf in a few days I have a sneaky suspicion I am the first Leaf owner south west of Kitchener/Waterloo. The closest Leaf dealer (London) has only sold one other one in nearly a year, which was to a power company. Nissan in Windsor plans to begin selling them with the 2013...

I pick up my new Leaf (2012 SL) in just over a week and will need to drive exactly 100 miles (160km) from the dealer to my front door. Here is my strategy to ensure I can make it: Avoid the freeway. Shortest route is country roads (limit 80kph/50mph), straight and level, very little traffic...

I am on the verge of buying a 2012 Leaf SL (great deal right now) as my commuter vehicle and looking to make sure I don't have unrealistic expectations. My situation is this: 50 km commute each way (~62 miles total) 60 - 80 kph speeds, rural roads (40-50 mph) No charging at work, at least not...
