I have the same problem with my leaf.. the solution was very simple (and free).. I just lift up the handle of the charging cable.. I hear the click and it starts charging.. I have now mastered it, but the first few times it took a light touch. Also if it won't connect, even a dried leaf in...

Soon we expect refurbished batteries.. that is when they take several bad batteries and make N-1 good batteries. These might cost $1,000 or more.. but expect them to last tens of thousands of miles. The market price in US is about $2,000 for a 2015 with that many miles.

Yep, Missouri has $120 a year gas tax...someone has to pay for the roads and you are not paying gas tax..

They are not giving you a new battery.. they are giving you a refurbished battery... there is no old new stock batteries.. on my factory warranty, Nissan reserves the right to only replace the bad cells..the others can be damaged and not showing talke it back and lease a new one

Your capacity is a computed estimate... so when you floor it on fast mode (not eco) up hill. The computer assume you will be doing that the whole time and calculate it.. want to have fun.. ALSO have the heater and front and rear defrosters on.. might have 20 mile range

My Leaf was acting bonkers after I replaced the 12v battery.. I started it 3 times and it has been normal ever since. Do NOT replace it with a Nissan Dealer battery. Go to the auto parts store or AAA and get a high quality high cold cranking amps battery about the same size and same polarity (+...

he means, open the hood, there is a 12v battery near the drivers headlight. Jumpstart it three times. Go to a parts store get a high quality 12v battery. The approximate size and make sure you get the + and - posts right. After I replaced my dead battery after 6 years. I had to restart the...

My leaf would go into turtle mode going up a 4 mile mountain at any speed. Hills chew up the battery power. As does running the space heater and/or defroster. My leaf only gets 20 miles at zero degrees, heat and defroster running. last week, first time, it went into turtle mode at -6 degrees...

As I am infectioius (non covid), I saw it in the driveway. Last week at -6 degrees it went into turtle mode and I had to turn around and park it. I plugged the charger in, and it was fully charged. Luckily my evil SUV was right next to it...and it worked fine on this cold day in hell.. it...

You didnt say if the 120v charger works? My phillips charger (6.6kw/220v) worked well for 5 years. Then the car would beep and not charge..just flash lights. Previously I learned sometimes I have to clean out the connector in the car. A tree leaf can cause it to fail.. dirt and snow can cause it...

Put a voltmeter across the two terminals of the 12 v battery. If the voltage is below 13 volts you have a bad 12v or bad battery cable.. also check voltage across 12v battery cables.. 12v battery is in the front of motor compartment near the drivers headlight. my 12v battery lasted 6 years but...

I have a similar problem with my old plug on my phillips charger.. I learned that if tilt up the plug handle, it clicks and it works fine.. when I say lift...I lift from the part nearest the cord

I have a problem with my EV 6.6kw charger. Where I connect the plug and it gives me funny beeps and no charge. My 120v works fine. I learned that when I tip up the charge plug, I hear a click and it works fine. I wonder if you have a similar issue. in short: plug in, lift up the back of the...

The problem is as much political as anything else. If you just put a group of engineers without an agenda in a room to figure out solutions, They can come up with a lot of 1 and 2% and 10% solutions that solve the problem. For instance, Los Angeles. Use the million gallons a week dumped in LA...
