That happened on a regular work week, no I didn't leave the car plugged in for long time.
Everyday I got home from work at 6pm, plug the level 2 charger and it is scheduled to start charging at 8PM. Depends on the usage during the day, it probably finishes charging some time after midnight...
I started the original post a year ago, I just want to give you guys an update. My 12V Motomaster Group51 battery just died, only lasted for 1 year, that's unbelievable. How frustrated when I needed to go to work and could NOT start the car.
Li-ion Booster: In my original post, I said I used...
I have a 2018 Leaf and winter temperature has dropped to minus overnight recently in Canada, I couldn't start the vehicle last weekend and there was "Service EV System No Power" error on the screen. I just want to post this to help other people to fix the problem.
Symptom: Cannot start the...
I would not go for 15", Usually I would downsize 1" from 17", so I would go for 16". Both 215/55R16 and 205/60R16 will work very well but 215/55 is $20-30 more than 205/60 per tire. Take a look at this video.. that's for 2018 Leaf, looks good! Hope it helps.

Leaf 2018 doesn't come with spare tire, I am thinking to buy a donut type spare tire for emergency. Has anyone bought one that is compatible with 2018 leaf? I did some search, most tire places only sell full size tires + rims. Anyone has the Tire code PXXX/YY RZZ and bolt pattern for...
What is the specification of your spare tire? I am looking for a donut spare tire too just for emergency.. any spec. on the tire code and bolt pattern for reference? That would be really appreciated.
Good to know... Thanks. My Bad on this one. I wish we have that in North America. Even our local utility published a white paper and they have done the testing on Nissan Vehicle to Home system. But never rolled it out...
2000W+ inverter is fine. If I understand correctly, for EV I was told that you need to start the car (Prepare to drive, put it in Park mode) and turn off all the lights, radio, AC/Heat, etc.. 2018 Leaf has the 40-kWh battery, this way it will keep charging the 12V battery while inverter will...
I saw some videos people use their EV as emergency power backup, it can run for several days with 2018 Leaf I believe. I am planning to buy an Pure Sine Wave Inverter in case of blackout. However, the more I read about it, the more complicated it gets. It is regarding to "bonded neutral" vs...
Sorry guys.. regarding to the charging port light. I tried it again last night using the normal procedure, the light DID light up. However, I swear to God, it did happen to me once (I don't know what is the steps to reproduce it) that I had to find the charging port in the dark!! Maybe my...
Thanks. 3 more things I forgot to say adding to my LOVE bucket:
- I really LOVE the B-Mode regenerative braking system. Love love love, both my wife and I never use D-mode. For those who used to drive standard transmission, you will love it. It's like shifting down to 2nd gear without the...
My wife and I have never had a Nissan before and of course this is our first EV. We got the top trim "SL" (Canadian version, not sure it is exactly the same in the States). After driving it for almost 1 month, it's time to express my feeling - there are some mixed feelings about this car. I am...
