Anyone have any idea if the Leaf will have a regular CAN-bus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus)? I'm curious if there will be a way to tap into the data on the car like you can on a Prius.

I plan on picking up the AutoEnginuity OBD2 Scan Tool with the Nissan Enhanced Interface. This should scan all the CAN bus codes, though it might take a couple of software updates before we have full descriptions of each sensor. Woot, woot!
From what I currently understand (but I'm still verifying) is that with AutoEnginuity I will be able to pull all the raw sensor data and build my own sensor displays. They have pre-built ones, but apparently everything can be customized. The regular package includes the ability to pull the standard OBD info, but the Nissan Enhanced Interface adds the CAN-bus abilities.LEAFfan said:DarkStar said:You better believe it!

I have a ScanGauge II which sounds similar, but the LEAF is an EV and it has no setting for EVs. It works great on my cng Honda.
