These tires are much better than the Ecopia. Inflate to 44psi and enjoy the ride. They should last more than 50K. No troubles on bad roads here. If you want a better pothole friendly tire you may switch to 205/60 R16 but you would need new wheels... Expensive switch.

Here it is, it was missing a braket:

One good news: Two new 2016 Leaf arrived at one dealer in Brossard, QC, Canada. Less good news: These are only S Leaf with the 24KWH battery.

My 2011 Leaf build in june 2011 lost it's first bar in september 2014. The car spent a least one summer near San Fransico, CA but the battery almost never reached 30C after that. The car never stayed at 100% charge for long and was kept in cool and shaded places. The time is the main...

I was down to 58AH with my 8 month old 2015 Leaf (built in february 2015). A week after a week-end drive of 400KM with 2 ChaDemo charge needed and using the pack down to 7%, I am back to much better numbers. Measurement after some pre-heating and not fully charged: 288GID 61,72AH SOH 99% Hx...

See on the graph it can go up.

I have almost the same number of GID (277) with 59AH. I would not worry yet. The AH seems to move a lot. Check this graph from another 2015 car. Also most of the 2013 cars seems to age better than the early 2011 and 2012...

2015 built in 2015/02 AHr = 58.79 SOH = 94% Hx = 90.54 1 QC, 282 L2 11650KM (7280 Miles) 276 GID It is my second 2015 Leaf, the first one (an SV, built in 2014/09) did much better but I only used it in winter. I have been able to drive 120KM at -25C. It seemed like it had an hidden capacity...

For the EV recharge equipement you still get 50% refund for the install: http://vehiculeselectriques.gouv.qc.ca/english/ The 4K rebate is for Canada, and is a Nissan rebate. Details there, I have not found the english page yet: ======================== Voilà d'où vient le 4000$...

The Leaf has instant torque and a lot of torque. It is much better than a regular ICE car, even with a large V6. You really need to do a test drive. Instant torque and how quiet the ride is, are two important plus of driving an EV. You will never miss power with an electric car, even when it is...

Hello, I am in Montreal too. I had a 2011 and a 2015. Best car ever for Montreal traffic jam. I am doing 80KM / day, no garage. Drove the 2011 (which had no battery heaters) without any touble even after many days bleow -25C. You can expect 100KM of range when using heating at -20C. I was able...

From another post it seems he succeeded. The wiring had to be modified. Details would be interesting.

Were you able to advance this project? The extra connectors may be for the leveling motor for the low light.

Any news on the installation. What is the cost of the OEM DEL? Is it compatible with DRL?

There is still the option of buying a used battery from a totaled/VGA 2014 or 2015. The price of a new battery may also drop in the next years. Third option is to sell the car to someone who don't need the full range and buy a a used or new Leaf next year. Replacing the battery on a 2011 does...
