I just got back to England after a couple of months in Italy, and the Leaf was dead. I opened the driver's door with the key. Nothing worked. Obviously, I needed to charge it. The charging cable was in the boot. How do you open the boot? You can't, without 12V.
Fortunately I still have a 12V jump-starter so I put this across the 12V battery terminals, opened the boot, took the charger cable out, and charged the car. Without the jump-starter, I'd have had to call Green Flag just to get 12 volts.
It is kinda dumb that you can't open the boot without 12V. I understand this was fixed on later Leaves.
