There are two problems with switched outlets to charge an EV: 1. The car will draw the maximum current the onboard charger will use or the maximum allowed by the EVSE (whichever is less). The portable EVSE from Nissan will allow the car to draw 12 amperes at 120 volts. It takes a really good power r...

Here are a couple photos showing the battery temperature and capacity displays of my 2019 SL Plus. As you can see, it still has all 12 capacity segments after 4 years and 71,000 miles in Phoenix.

My experience with the 2015 was that Ecopias offered much better braking traction and handling (wet and dry when inflated to 44 psi) than the OEM Michelins (with inflation anywhere between 36 and 44 psi) and also better efficiency. The OEM Michelins that came on the 2015 and 2019 were the worst radi...

All the normal features of Nissan Connect EV still work with my 2019. I received another email earlier this week from Nissan Connect Services trying to get me to subscribe to the premium services (through Sirius) which I don't need. Unlike previous emails, this one did not imply that the subscriptio...

It is sometimes possible to use a small screwdriver blade or similar tool to push the seal back to its normal position. I have done that on a couple of EVSE connectors over the years.

I could not find a way past the paywall using Edge as my browser so was only able to listen to or read the first part of the article. As someone who grew up around farm machinery and motorcycles and has owned or driven many different vehicles over the years, I think the learning curve was very short...

My experience (with USA Leaf's) is that the keystroke sequence timing is critical to get into the diagnostics screen. I suspect you father is not getting the buttons pressed fast enough or in the correct sequence. If he gets into the diagnostic menu, then there is a way to calibrate the touch screen...

Leaf weight distribution is almost equal front/rear so all four tires should be kept at the same pressure.

If 90 miles each way, you will need to charge en-route each way along with full L2 charge at destination. That would be two DCQC sessions along with L2 overnight at home (worst case). Your battery will warm up during DCQC, but cool down slowly while driving and while parked. I suspect you might see ...

Is the car (or was it previously) in a hot climate? My 2015 spent its time in Phoenix and was still at 8 capacity bars when I traded it with 82,000 miles, but that was 4 years ago so it would likely have lost another bar by now just from age. I agree with knightmb--the car was likely driven short di...
