Thank you so much for your help! When the flat bed tow truck arrived, I got a quick charge of the 12V battery and was able to drive away. This forum has been amazing! It may seem quite silly, that this user stupidly left the car on over night and then didn’t know how to handle it. But there’s a...

Ok, thanks! I am o able to open the hood. Is jump starting the LEAaF 12V battery the same as jump starting any other car’s 12V battery? I do have a tow company en route and wonder if they can give me a jump, rather than putting me on a flatbed and towing me to the dealership. Thank you so...

Thanks for the reply! How do I open the charging door? Pressing the button doesn’t work.

Good morning, My 2019 Leaf will not start. I left the door unlocked and so I can get into the car, but when I go to start it, nothing happens. I can’t even lock and unlock the doors. I called roadside assistance and they will tow to the nearest Nissan dealership. Does it sound like the 12...

Hello good folks, I’ve have my Leaf nearly 3 months now, so the sales people at Sirius XM have started bugging me. Is there any benefit to Sirius XM, besides the stations they provide? I don’t really need Fox News or Howard Stern or Tom Petty’s personal record collection DJ’d, as cool as that...

I'm in touch with a local aftermarket car stereo installer and they've suggested a USB CD player. I'm waiting to get more info about this, but maybe it's something like this, which can be installed in the glove box and be hooked up to the factory installed stereo...

I may have bought the wrong car here, having purchased the 2019 Leaf SV, which comes with no CD player. Does anyone here have experience with adding an FM modulated CD changer to a Leaf? I know I'd hafta buy one on eBay, as it appears that no one is making CD changers anymore. the option of...

Nah, they lost their right to that claim when they used MY tax dollars to send their kid to college at the Coast Guard Academy. Lolz, complicated world

I've owned my Leaf for less than a month now and decided to test my range anxiety on Sunday afternoon when a family situation required that I travel from Boston to Hackensack and back (approx. 450 miles) in 2 1/2 days. All of my charging on the trip was free, taking advantage of the EVgo free...

I’m pretty sure now that the reason I was losing battery is that I was turning the car on with the cabin heat on. Here’s what my awesome EV geek / Nissan salesperson said about it: “It is not my experience that a LEAF will lose any measurable amount of charge overnight, unless it is quite...

Hello Leaf Friends, I just got a 2019 Leaf SV. One of the incentives that was exciting at signing is free two years of charging at EVGo charging stations, cuz there’s an EVGo CHAdeMO charging station at my supermarket. Because of this, I didn’t bother getting level 2 charging set up at home...

Thanks for your help! I'm new to this and still assuming (and hoping!) that I'm doing something wrong. According to my Nissan Connect EV & Services app, there was no "phantom drain" last night, after trickle charging the battery to 85%. The car is left outside overnight and the temperature got...

Thanks for your input. I’ll talk to my awesome Nissan salesperson about this and see what he thinks.

I am in the Boston area and the temperature has been in the 30s for the last week. On the day that I bought the car, it did get down to zero degrees Fahrenheit, but that's the only day that it got into the single digits. It's been much warmer since then. If the temperature was 50 degree F...

Hi there, I got a 2019 Leaf SV a week ago and I haven’t been charging it overnight. I have noticed that the battery loses a couple percentage points of its charge after sitting for eight or ten hours. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any help.
