Well I took a 2014 Leaf S for a test drive yesterday. My Volt lease is coming due in a few months, and my 2012 Leaf lease is about a year out from ending so trying to figure out what I want to go with next...
One of the confusing things I noticed on the 14' was that even though it was discharged below 80% the estimated charge time on 6kw and 3kw were the same? In my mind it would charge twice as fast on 6kw but maybe I am missing something. Is that normal though even if it is between 70-80% SOC? I would be really bummed to get a new Leaf with a 6kw charger to have it still charge from my drive in 5 and a half hours.
For the SV/SL guys did Nissan get rid of the annoying Carwings "OK" everytime I go to drive the car? They only had that S on the lot and since it has a base radio without Carwings obviously I couldn't see that. I did a search on here and found all the threads of people complaining about it, but never one of whether it went away or not.. However I don't see any threads started by 13/14 owners so I would assume they did remove it.
Looking forward to see what this year brings. I am going to at least wait until the 2015MY is announced hopefully with the heat tolerant battery. However if the 15 isn't much different may just snatch up a 14', but the dealer had no answers for the above questions. Thanks for any help.
