    Is Level II home charger included?

    I always take my charger with me. I 'don't want to leave it plugged into the side of the house and I never know when I might need it. Granted, I haven't needed it for the first five years of driving but I had that peace-of-mind. Now I plug my car in at work as well as the house on a daily basis...

    Propilot max speed cap?

    My 2018 does 93 or 92 MPH. I've only gone that fast a couple of times. Maximum speed cold be country specific.

    Has anyone tried the Comma.AI system?

    I was wondering if the enhancements to the ProPilot system are worth the cost. I do a lot of long distance driving and use ProPilot for almost always.

    Charge cable failure

    I've recently gone from charging my Leaf once a day to twice a day. overnight to 100% at 240v and during the day to about 85% at 120v. Unfortunately, the charge cable gave up the ghost. Is there a decent aftermarket dual voltage charge cable out there? I'm considering buying a used OEM cable...

    114,000 miles and counting. A charging question.

    I'll only be using the trickle charge at work to supplement the 6600w nightly charge. It's a 120v/20a commercial receptacle. I don't think there will be any issues as there is nothing else plugged in to any of the other receptacles on the circuit. The building is 2 years old, and they overkilled...

    114,000 miles and counting. A charging question.

    Hi all, Been a while since I've been here. The 100 mile a day run for the last 5 years sure has added up. I'm finishing each day with anywhere between 5% -10% depending on lighting and wiper requirements. Zoe is charged each day at 240v, and I've noticed that the charge times listed in the dash...

    Key system error

    Hi All, 2018 SV with 69,000 miles on it. I've replaced the keyfob batteries. Yet this message is displayed whenever I enter the vehicle. Runs and drives fine and after a little while the yellow caution triangle light goes out. I saw somewhere that the next step is to replace the 12 volt...

    Catastrophic Failure

    I don't think they have the means to. I spent some time with the tech who is working on my car. This is the first Leaf he's worked on since he went to Leaf training in 2010 and 2013. The $15,000 electric vehicle tool cart had never been opened. They had to get a new pair of lineman gloves...

    Catastrophic Failure

    No, it’s not the lights on the car. It’s the lights on the charger before it’s even plugged into the car. They got a new cable in today and should have the coolant cap in tomorrow. Definitely gonna keep an eye on t he coolant system for a while.

    Catastrophic Failure

    Wow. To their credit the battery came in and was installed by Friday. Car was washed a vacuumed so we went for a ride on Saturday. I lifted the hood to show some mechanic friends what it looks like and noted a coolant smell. Not good. Looks like the cap is not holding pressure and is venting...

    Catastrophic Failure

    6-8 weeks to get the new battery in; on top of the 3 1/2 weeks they've had my car already. I guess the bright side is that I'll have a new battery at 18,000 miles. I asked them to switch out my Nissan rental for one that has ProPilot. This having to actually drive a car sucks...

    Catastrophic Failure

    It's a 2018 (manufactured in March, 2018) with18,000 miles. Bought it new in late August, 2018. I put 54 miles of highway driving on it each way to work (108 miles total) 5 days a week and charge it nightly. Plus some weekend driving. I live in SC so it's usually in the 90-100 degree range in...

    Catastrophic Failure

    No rodents or any other external cause suspected. They checked those things first to determine if the financial responsibility would fall on Nissan or my home/auto insurance. They are covering it all under warranty. The charge cable is ok and the 50 amp circuit breaker in the house wasn't...

    Catastrophic Failure

    2 weeks ago I went out to go to work and noticed the fail light on the charge cable was illuminated. I unplugged it and checked to find the battery state of charge was @ 47% and there was a big red warning in the dash display. I called Nissan Roadside Assistance and had the car taken to my...
