Any news?

Well there is your problem. Dead or weak cells. I've seen that too in a Leaf that belongs to my employer. Eventually it would not travel so Nissan had to come pick it up with a flatbed and carry it to a dealership that had an EV tech. EV tech replaced something - battery? module? - and the car...

Does the fob have a warranty? Can you ask them to replace it and see if the problem goes away?

Ended up doing this for our Hyundai: local dealer wanted $575 for a key fob. He even gave me a whole $10 discount! How generous! ;) Went to North Coast Keyless online and bought a used fob. Comes with an uncut emergency key. They have a directory of automotive locksmiths that they work with I...

Thank you.

Yeah - I'm trying to send my kid to college. Can't afford to waste a bunch of money at the dealer! Let the dealer's kids deal with it! j/k ;)

120V = only about 5 miles per hour 220V = about 25 miles per hour

Depending on your needs, you can charge with a 120V socket using the charger found in the trunk. We drive about 25 miles a day in a small town and a 120V socket keeps up with that. If you drive 50 miles a day, you will either need to fast charge once or twice a week at a commercial charger or...

Does Europe have Right to Repair? Can we access their manuals and diagrams?
