Thanks for the link. I called GM Canada today and they have me as the new owner of the bolt , so they will notify me of battery updates. The agent directed me to call my local GM dealer where it was serviced. I spoke to the service department and the one I bought has had the software update so I...

Well the leaf is gone , Mazda dealer bought it for what I paid for it in November. Also bought a Bolt today , picking it up tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for all their help when I was looking for a Leaf and after I bought it . Special thanks to LeftieBiker, you provided me with so much...

They offered $16750 for my car , with savings on the tax if I bought it works out to just under $19000 Canadian. I have listed it privately for $22,000. They offered $16500, I said no . I was hoping $18000 because it would workout to $20000 after tax savings but I said I’d do $17,000 because...

Thanks for the link. I spoke to EV concierge this morning and the car is due for a new battery , just waiting it’s turn . Going to have a look at it this morning and see what they’d give on trade for the Leaf . I do have the Leaf for sale privately and have had interest . If the dealer will give...

Just spoke to a GM advisor , the car is inline for a new battery . They just don't know when. She did take my info and if I do buy the car, they will keep me updated on when the battery will be done. As for buying a gen2 Leaf, not interested. I love my gen1 but I don't trust the nissan battery...

I came across a used 2017 bolt for sale at a Chevy dealership and when I run the VIN it shows no recall on the cars? Why would that be if all 2017 models are getting a new battery ?

Awesome , thanks for that info . A bolt I am interested in , when I punch I the vin for recall the number ends in 883 and says no remedy available. Is it eligible for a new pack and is kinda just online waiting ? The dealer has another bolt and it’s recall ends in 881 and says open. I just want...

First off let me start by saying that I love driving my Leaf and I love the car. I just purchased it in November 2021. My only concern is the range and battery degradation the Leafs our known for so I started to look into Chevy Bolts . They have substantial more range and the potential of...

That’s not good to hear but I’ll do what I can to minimize battery degradation. According to the seller they only charged to 80% , so I am thinking the first owner before it was imported may have not taken the best care of battery. I rarely charge over 80% and never go below 20%. I don’t need...

I was reading some of your tips LeftieBiker and came across the range map with the white circles. The smaller distance white circle was pretty much bang on with the amount of range left on the battery, that will be a huge help when trying to see how much is left on the charge. Thanks!

Excellent , good to know . Thank you :)

Question regarding charging. I do have a level 2 charger at home, but would I be better charging at level 1 if I have the time to charge that way? Is level 1 charging easier on the battery than level 2 ? Or is it a wash since level 1 takes longer at a lower charge rate and level 2 is a higher...

As much as I love the warm weather (especially with all rain and grey skies we get here majority of the year) the 40+ celsius was to extreme and hopefully was an anomaly. I use mine for commuting around town and to get to and from work, my longest round trip is 90 kms for work. I went with the...

My Leaf is originally from Bellevue, Washington so similar climate to Vancouver. The person I purchased from said it dropped to 11 bars in August . So 82% isn’t to bad for SOH for the year and mileage , is that correct ? I only charge level 1 or level 2 and stay under 80% and only charged to...

I have a 2017 Leaf SV I picked up in November, it has 11 bars. Using Leaf Spy it shows the current SOH at 82.19 %. Just curious if that's bad, good or average for a vehicle of that age with just over 50,000kms on it. It had the BMS update done in 2018, according to Nissan's records. When I got...
