Range anxiety, battery degradation, and chargers down, busy, blocked by an ICE Vehicle, or expensive rates is why we sold our 2020 Leaf 40 kWh. We made money on that Car. Never bought an EV to so-called "Save the Planet". We just love Technology and being an Electronic Engineer helps...

ICE vehicles are the way to go if you only have one vehicle. We have a 2002 SAAB 9-5 with 200K miles and it's always willing to take us anywhere we want. Doesn't burn oil, runs clean for an ICE vehicle. The emissions testing here cannot get a reading out the tailpipe yet the exhaust is in...

I could never figure out why purchasers of EV's feel the taxpayers should pay for part of their vehicle? It makes no sense to me.

We had a 2020 LEAF SV with the standard 40kWh battery. At 10,400 miles, we were down to 93.08 SOH. We had a slow L2 -16 amp charger at Home that added exactly 10% battery capacity per hour of charging. We feel our LEAF's battery was compromised in Chehalis Washington. The Chademo Charger was...

We had a 2020 LEAF SV and the Camera display turned pink. I took a picture of the display when the Camera was in the failed state. Nissan told us it is a known issue and replaced the Camera? All good. We don't have the LEAF anymore but our Dealer was excellent. Beaverton Nissan.

I'd ask the Dealer to replace the 12 volt battery as part of the purchase. That is amazing work knightmb. I have a non-related question. I was looking at a 2024 LEAF SV+. I asked if they have any SL's and the Dealership claims for 2023 and 2024, they didn't make and SL trim packages. I...

My Petrol Car is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've owned lots of SAAB's but my 2002 SAAB 9-5 Arc is amazing. Just short of 200K town miles. Has the very odd England GM 3.0 54 degree V6 that uses a timing belt and is an interference design. This Engine was used in the ill-fated Cadillac...

knightmb, That is very awesome of you! I wish I'd had someone to look at a Leaf for me a couple of months ago. :)

Yep, LeafSpy lite is free and the Dongle was about $20. Very useful for battery condition. I watched my 2020MY Leaf lose 7% of its capacity in just 10,400 miles. I also carry the Dongle in my Petrol Car so when I look at a used Leaf, I can see the battery condition and what kind of charging...

Dooglas, I'd get another LEAF if I could get a Plus model. We liked our 2020 but the ranges was inadequate. A Plus model would meet 95% of our requirements. Maybe my friend can find me one, fingers crossed.

We live in Oregon where EV's, at least in the Portland area, seem popular. Sales have slowed down as People want something for nothing here. The State had a $2500 tax credit towards a new EV. That money ran out. To the point: My good friend in southern Oregon got a Dealer license to buy...

Wish we could find a deal on a Leaf with a 62kWh battery.

Here in the Beaverton, Oregon area, we were behind a Gal with a Model 3. She had several hate sticker towards Elon Musk on the Tesla. She pulled into the same parking lot we did and She was crazy mad (irate) at Musk. She said we wants to dump the Tesla really cheap. Well, bad news. She...

I like the Leaf because it's a normal looking car. I don't like technology in a car. If I want a self-driving car, I'll call Uber. As several here are Tesla owners too, what it the tire mileage? Our Leaf had 10K on the tires when we sold it and the tires looked pretty good. I rotated them...

We Quick charged because Nissan Service told us that if we turn in the Car after the lease, the Leaf would be recycled for its materials (destroyed). So it became a "Nissan" experiment to see how much capacity would be lost Quick Charging 5 days a week for 2 years. The Dealer requested we take...
