In case this helps someone else down the road.... the dual L1/L2 EVSE that came with my 2019 died earlier this week. I first called the Nissan EV 800 # to confirm warranty coverage and they said they didn't know and I should talk to the dealer, which seemed odd. I made an appt with my local...

Finally got something definitive from Nissan on this, they said the web version of the app is gone and not coming back, bummer. I don't imagine this will impact too many people as I assume most just use the mobile app. I've been using the web version to scrape my battery SOC for automating my...

Re: the website version of the app... It's not working for me either. I called Nissan, they said they had no plans to discontinue the website. The support person was able to login into my portal (using their backend tools, not my credentials directly) and interact with my car. She wasn't...

Something of an off topic question, but related to the overall question of SOH degradation. When the SOH drops does the battery consequently use less energy to charge and charge faster? Or am I still dumping the same kWH into the pack just getting less power out of it? Hopefully it's the former!

Yep already have the paid pro version and am currently using it (that's where all this SOH data is coming from). But I'll start using it for temp readings as well.

Here's a picture of my gauge if that helps. I'll check out the temp info in LS, although I'd rather not have to fumble with my phone while driving. I just checked LS now with the stale data it still had on screen from this morning and it was reporting 67.6/67.6/65.3 F. What is considered too hot?

Can someone explain the battery temp. gauge? I have a blue bar at about the 15% mark this morning and a grey bar about 45%. I assume the blue bar is the current reading. Is the grey bar the lifetime maximum? The manual only says that anything under the 2 red ticks is "normal." Also, what...

Sounds good, I’ll keep the temp gauge up especially on my next long interstate drive to the in-laws. I did notice that after I got back from my last trip was the last time I saw a substantial drop in SOH. Hey if nothing else, this car will be a decent excuse for me not to see my in-laws so...

About once a month we drive an hour of highway around 68 MPH (and then back), I guess that’s not helping. Pretty lame Nissan still hasn’t included battery temp management. Had I understood this important difference I highly doubt I would have bought a Leaf. Likely a Bolt or sprung the extra for...

That's great to hear, I always put more weight on real world experience anyway.

Unfortunately, it seems I'm right about the battery warranty. This text is straight from the 2019 Nissan warranty booklet :/ https://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam/Nissan/us/manuals-and-guides/leaf/2019/2019-Nissan-LEAF-warranty-booklet.pdf

Re: the warranty rejections, that's just what my dealer told me as they were trying (unsuccessfully) to get me to buy an add-on warranty from them. Probably just some typical dealer smoke. Thanks for the input, I'll keep tracking it and see how bad it gets. If I wind up having to go the...

I haven't made a concerted effort to monitor battery temps, I have pulled up the gauge just on the dashboard occasionally and it always seemed to be in the normal range. But I can make an effort to look at that more. But as you say, it's winter time and I never DCFC, always just L2. Once the...

OK thanks for that, makes sense. So what do we think is going on with my plummeting SOH? It's hard to make projections from this pretty erratic data, but keeping up at this pace the car (or at least the battery) will be in a landfill within a couple years it seems.

As requested... It was never clear to me what all this meant, maybe you can explain.
