Size=16x7J Offset=45mm Center bore= 66.1mm Bolt pattern=5X114.3mm These were mounted on an Nissan Altima (not sure about model year). I thought people were using Altima wheels on the LEAF, but the offset/size is making me wonder. I have 17" wheels, but want to get these for use with 16"...

Interested in power folding mirrors, but since it's not an option in the US, I'm wondering how difficult it would be to install the European version. Has anyone done the research, especially regarding possible shape & mounting differences? Do the cameras have to be swapped?

So is anyone using the Raspberry Pi to capture CAN data, and display it? Would it be fast enough to capture all the data needed to show a nice live dashboard via a small screen? What OBDII interface are you using?

I'm looking for a Nissan LEAF headlight, 2011-2015, has to be the LED version (layout is different). It's ok if it has broken tabs, scratches, or doesn't even have electronics, as I don't plan on driving with it. I basically want to do some experimenting, but since I'm new to taking headlights...

So I noticed there are a few wrapped LEAFs running around, would love to see some pictures posted here, and maybe come up with some fun designs. Here is mctom987's LEAF, with another one in the background ready to be wrapped: larger & better view

update: tutorial has moved here. So I replaced my yellowish OEM parking lights with Sylvania LEDriving Part No. 168/194/2825LED bulbs (6000K) to match the LED headlights. While the bulbs aren't cheap, they are top quality (OSRAM), and since they are around the same price on A_mazon and at...

Ever since my recent trip to the dealer (which involved applying the brake software update), the start up screen of my LEAF keeps changing. Sometimes it will be in nav mode (even when not used), other times it will be on the status screen. Ideally, I prefer the screen which shows how much...

So I just got the results of the 1st annual battery check, and everything is 5 stars except for the 'long term parking with high state of charge.' line, which has 4 stars. I drive my vehicle almost every day, so between that and the fact that the 2014+ no longer has the 80% charging option, I'm...

The passenger seatbelt system seems to have it out for my wife, as the restraint system which allows you to lock a baby seat in place, keeps trying to choke her. I've witnessed this firsthand, and I can't explain why it keeps triggering, as she isn't pulling the belt out all the way. I had a...

Nissan LEAF folks have insinuated that I left my car running all day, and that's the reason my 12V battery was dead. However, I am 100% sure I did shut it down for various reasons. So now I'm wondering. I was under the impression that if I leave the car running, it will stay online until the...

So last night I charged my car to 100% (been a week or so since I did this), and noticed the brakes were feeling different when I first started the car (heard a click/pulse when the brake pedal travelled halfway down). Car was parked in a garage overnight and is acting fine tho, and brakes are...

So I finally tried the seat heater and steering wheel heater several days ago, since it was pretty cold outside, and I'm really disappointed with the results. The steering wheel heater worked great ... for 10 minutes or so, then the steering wheel became ice cold like the rest of the car, and...

September 28-29 is National Plug In Day. Personally, I'm the captain for the Central New York/Syracuse area, so if you are in this area, I would LOVE for you to join us, as I have found a very nice indoor location to show off our electric cars. There will be press coverage, so it's really...

Since Nissan is moving in 'Turtle mode' speed when it comes to installing quick chargers in my home state, I have been approaching businesses interested in joining my ChargeNY EV effort, and see if I can do something about this myself. Several times now, I have thrown around the suggestion of...

While checking out the engine bay, I noticed that there are 2 orange tubes running towards the area underneath the hood latch (guessing the charging sockets), and the plug that's supposed to be holding it in place doesn't seem to be doing its job. I find it hard to believe that driving would...

Please contact your rep and senator if you are in New York State, and kindly explain how bad this bill is needed! New York Senate Bill S.5190 Will Enforce Electric Car Parking with Fines Also, what's the proper word for someone ICEing a spot ? ;)

So I installed my AeroVironment EVSE last week, and while everything sounds ok when the charging cycle starts, it is making a loud humming noise (actually more like the noise an old spinning hard drive makes) about 30 minutes before the charging timer is set to expire (I'm not talking about the...

While installing my AeroVironment EVSE, I noticed that the PCB has a header for a serial port, and a meter port. Has anyone tried interfacing these? Would be awesome if one could read the status of the EVSE, and the power consumption, all via the serial or meter port (using an Arduino or...

So recently I experienced the issue of losing all regen braking while coming to a stop, forcing me to really step hard on the brake pedal as I wasn't expecting any failure. Since I was worried about coming to a stop, I didn't pay attention to my nav screen to see if that's what really happened...
