Depending on the dash config (you can select from 3 different layouts) there's a bar that shows battery charge. For a hard %, you use can use the app on your phone. It works both over bluetooth or free OnStar (takes a while to update this way though) and shows you your battery as a %, estimate...

This. So much this. While EVgo is putting them in at seemingly every mall and Walmart, what we really need is a reliable network along the freeways. Truck Stops would be a perfect fit.

Just finished a test drive of a 2018 Nissan Leaf SV. I was told it was car #3 of the 6 that are street legal in the US. I also purchased a 2017 Chevy Bolt LT last week and have spent a number of hours driving it. I'm a current owner of a 2015 Leaf which I have to return in a few weeks...

Just had my inspection done. Bill came to a total of $0 owed for wear and tear. Thought I was going to have to pay for new tires, but they only measured the tread in the middle, not the edges that wore down before I started putting more air in there mfg recommended. Stupid Question Time: Do...

Just a reminder for those complaining about Bolt seats, there are a number of inexpensive DIY hacks that seem to solve the issue for most people and only take a few min to fix. They're detailed on the mychevybolt.com forum. There are appears to be two problems: A) The outer/edge of the seat is...

Yeah, I never use a factory Nav. I prefer to stick with Waze, where if something is wrong on the map / address I can go in and fix it from my computer at home.

I'm sure the answer can be found somewhere in the 200 pages of this thread, but I can't find it. - How soon before the end of the lease will Nissan contact me in regards to inspection and return? - Are they still offering lease extensions to bridge the gap to wide availability on the 2? I'll...

It looks like something out of a late 80s scifi movie.

Because it was delaying them getting me a receipt for the work.

Decent Bolt lease deals have been popping up here: http://ev-vin.blogspot.com/2016/07/current-lease-offers-for-selected-evs.html Still got a ways to go, but I'm hopeful that by December they'll be plentiful.

There's a dual-CHAdeMO charger run by Blink in Diamond Bar that can charge both at once.

I have yet to encounter one that could.

They still make dash covers custom fit to your dash shape and size. I know they aren't as popular as they once were, but I just rode in an Uber with one last month. Should be an easy fix to the dash glare problem. https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/dash-covers

Oh really, I guess I misunderstood. I thought the batteries dropped to below 20% and stayed there causing the issues.

Port has been replaced under warranty and is currently charging using a public Chargepoint L2 charger as I type this. The service rep I talked to was a bit upset because apparently Nissan only pays for 3/4 of an hour labor for the job and it actually requires several hours of work.
