    Tesla vs Leaf comparison

    There are no model years as far as Tesla is concerned. As an example, if you look at a Model Y produced during 2020 vs. 2022 you will find a myriad of both software and structural changes. These changes are implemented as soon as they are ready and have nothing to do with year of production. If...

    Active cooling your leaf battery

    Back in the day, I needed to emergency cool down some old DEC10's as the air conditioning in the room had failed. Pans of dry ice under and around the computers solved the problem nicely...

    Another interesting Wall Street Journal article

    Did China's BYD Sell More BEVs Than Tesla In H1 2022? Not Really BYD sold 641,350 electrified vehicles in the first six months of 2022, only half of which were all-electric; Tesla sold 564,743 BEVs.

    I bought the Moseworth 46B24R. It fits the existing hold down perfectly. The shipping charges are 40% higher than when I bought... :|

    Disable EV Sound on 2021 Leaf?

    I used Leaf Spy pro on my 2019 Leaf to turn off all the sounds: EV sound, back up alert etc.. Also turned the auto locking off and changed the unlock to all doors with one key fob push. Much better all round in my opinion... :D

    Losing all regen braking during a bumpy stop

    My 2019 Leaf started displaying a malfunction code showing the collision avoidance system not working as well as the lane departure warning. Nissan Canada denied a warranty claim as the three year warranty had expired three weeks before. Luckily my dealer escalated the problem to the regional...

    Leaf Price / Discount discussion thread

    Lead accessory battery replacement issues

    My buddy replaced the SLA battery in his Tesla Model S with one of those and is extremely happy with it. We replaced the SLA in our Electric smart car with a LiFePO4 from China almost a year ago and have had zero problems with it. I plan to do a preemptive replacement with another one in the...

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    Hydrogen will never make it a mainstream alternative to BEV's. No infrastructure, mainly a product of Natural Gas refraction as Electrolysis is too expensive, energy efficiency half or less of BEV, and the list goes on...

    12V battery drained; car won't start!

    For some strange reason, lead acid batteries don't seem to do well when used in an E/V environment. I've seen examples of premature failure(s) when used in Leafs, Teslas, smart cars etc. The best option appears to be a lifepo4 battery and is what I plan on to replace the lead acid version on our...
