    Leaf is not able to charge from a GFCI protected outlet.

    If the gfci outlet is not grounded, then the evse will not work. Be sure to check for ground and reversed hot and neutral wires. If either of these are the case, then it would be best to have a licensed electrician inspect the wireing and make repairs.

    1300 Miles Clunking felt on drivers side floor board.

    I had some thing similar happen in my Saturn. The floor mat had slipped up behind the pedals to a joint in the steering shaft. Nearly every time I turned the wheel it would flick the mat. I brought it in to the shop twice insisting that the wheelbearing was bad. Then they found the problem...

    Some things to consider for a safer more comfortable ride: Range will drop in cold weather and snow -this is normal Charge to 100% Preheat with the EVSE still connected Drive with the heat set to low/~60 The power consumption should drop after a few minutes Use Eco to extend your range (this...

    Did Nissan forget to 'plug' this connector?

    Don't touch it! Orange cables are high voltage. If you suspect it is not connected properly then bring it to the dealer to have it checked.

    Felt electric shock

    An improper house or outlet ground (loop between neutral and ground) could cause this problem. This would happen with any grounded device in that outlet. Also, please update/complete your profile. Some of us are suspicious of first time posters with significant safety issues. :)

    Not driving Leaf for several months

    Based on the situation that you describe I would do the following. 1. If you don't typically charge to 100%, then I would do so a few days before storing the car. This will allow some cell equalization to occur. 2. When ready to store the car I would discharge the battery pack to ~50% (~6...

    July Plugin Sales : Leaf 395, Volt 1849, PIP 688, FFE 38

    I see my error. The Volt sales numbers and quote are from the GM press release. I would expect them to be biased. Okay disregard the the first part. I will stick with the second part... "I am pointing out the fact that the percentage of sales declined the same. If you think about this it...

    July Plugin Sales : Leaf 395, Volt 1849, PIP 688, FFE 38

    ??? I was only referencing the numbers you posted. I guess I could have been clearer. I feel the author of the story is biased. Look at the two quotes. The one for the Volt defends the low numbers and uses the word "strong". The LEAF quote takes a swipe by using the word "just". The link to...

    July Plugin Sales : Leaf 395, Volt 1849, PIP 688, FFE 38

    I think a more honest headline would be something like... Volt and LEAF monthly sales decline 36%. If you run the numbers Volt sales dropped slightly more.

    Isn't the "optional" battery report "required" for the battery warranty? I thought I saw that somewhere???

    12% capacity loss in 9 months is "normal"

    After reading through this thread I am having a thought… a charger problem??? I am wondering if this could be an overlooked cause of your lower state of charge. Do you have the QC port? Could you do a QC and then read your gids? I believe a QC completely bypasses the onboard charger. Would...

    Charge Port Cover

    It also prevents or limits the accumulation of snow, leaves and other debris in the EVSE connection area.

    EV Charging Stations at Safety Rest Areas

    So this contact/amendment campaign is based on your interpretation of the current legislation? There are multiple states installing public chargers along interstate highways, I-5 for example. Where and what are the challenges that you are encountering to promoting rest stop chargers?
