    Good charger for my 2018 SL

    All of our houses have ClipperCreeks, and they are superb. As to bad J1772 chargers, we had several of them go bad where I work. 2 Siemens ones flat out died and got replaced, and a third Siemens one recently stopped charging Teslas (but still charged all other brands). The company which I...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    My 2017 leaf lost her fourth bar a little while ago. The process was painless: the dealer confirmed that everything was correctly displayed, and they ordered the replacement. Took a few weeks, but I had the full use of my car until it arrived. Once it arrived, they put in the new battery and...

    status update: My Auri got her new battery today, under warranty. She lost her 4th capacity bar just over a month ago. About 23k miles on her to date (I live really close to work). The replacement process was painless. I got to keep Auri until the new battery arrived at the dealership. The...

    Driver Door Handle Problem

    Status Update: that JB Weld suggestion is spot on. I applied it both on the top and the bottom of the lock, and then held it in place with an adjustable wrench clamping down onto a sock (to protect the finish). It has been a bunch of time since i did that, and so far, absolutely perfect. The...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    I am on the SRP EV plan, so EV charging is 5.75 cents per kwh (as high as 6.14 cents, depending on the month) if I charge at home and use the car's timer correctly. Which i do :) . https://www.srpnet.com/prices/home/electricvehicle.aspx At work, I can also solar charge for free.

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    > I'd rather not buy a new Leaf due to CHAdeMO, Amazingly, I still have *never* QuickCharged my 2017 Leaf. My sister also has a 2019 Leaf; she has never QC'd either. I almost did it yesterday, when I had to do about a 90 mile roundtrip in my 2017 Leaf (that is 3 capacity bars down). But...

    Driver Door Handle Problem

    This is starting to happen on my 2017 Leaf as well, on the driver's door handle. The chrome is pulling out away from the inner black plastic. The knob button still always works. From a quick glance, it looks like the double sided sticky tape just is not sticky (at least on the top side)...

    Would a 3 wheel car technically be classified as a motorcycle, and thus require a motorcycle rating in order to drive and insure it?

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    That is what I did, thanks. My 2017 has been losing one bar per year (usually in the wintertime), so I am guessing that I will lose capacityBar#4 sometime in Jan or feb of 2022.

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    Random question: I am at an autonation Nissan here in Tempe az right now and they want to charge about $150 for the annual battery report for my 2017 leaf. I know there first 2 years was free, and last year's was free/included when I had the car in for a servicing. What is the typical price for...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    One question I have: When my leaf needs to recharge, my Leaf nearly always charges on the timer, overnight. When you first plug in the charger, it charges for like 5s (presumably to figure out the rate, so that it can figure out when to start charging so that it is completed at 5am). Does...

    this was the original text I got from nissan: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): xxxxxxxxx Nissan is committed to providing the highest levels of product safety, quality and customer satisfaction. With that in mind, we want to bring to your attention important information regarding a...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    I agree. Temperature (either overly cold or overly warm) is really the big enemy. Additionally, if nissan wanted you to only charge to 80%, they would have given you a way to enable that ability. People very often charge overnight, most chargers (even level 2 chargers) are dumb, and thus they...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    I do all of that. In the summertime, I charge between 11pm and 5am (on days when I need to charge). BUT- In the summertime in Phoenix, the lows can easily be in the 90s at night (the average low temp is 84, which is the temp immediately before sunrise at 4-something-ish AM). So, outside vs...

    2016-2017 model year 30 kWh bar losers and capacity losses

    You sir clearly do not live in the desert :) This time of the year (the coldest), in the morning (the coldest part of the day), I think the car starts with 4-5 temps bars on the dash. I've never gone into the red temp bars, but I have gone to the one just below the red. Just in normal Phoenix...
