    Am I doing much damage?

    OK, Thanks for the replies! I was thinking I wasnt doing really big damage, but I just want to check. The EVSE's I have access to are freebies so I'm not charging at home right now. I will be setting up a unit at home before winter. I'm not sure how far the car will go in the cold, this being...

    Am I doing much damage?

    I work 50 miles from home, almost all of my commute is on highway. Fortunately in upstate NY the road is mostly flat, no huge long hills to climb, I have not seen any big jumps in battery temp even in summer. My concern is this: it is almost impossible to get to the EVSE to stop the charge at...

    $4000 tax break? Has anyone gotten it on a used Leaf?

    I got my '22 S at nissan in queensbury NY dealer in april. CPO couldnt tell from new 13K miles They had 'no idea' what I was talking about, all they knew was to give me a doc to file with my taxes. I let them blather on then showed them the IRS site that had their name on it, the NY site that...

    3 basic questions please

    Tekna is a model of Leaf that is not avail in the US. CanBus is the electric wiring of the car. D gives you some 'engine braking' effect through regen. B gives you a much higher braking effect with regen.

    tool roll and tow hook.

    CPO. 13k miles, looks new. I just thought if the manufacturer put a threaded hole in the front/rear bumper they would expend the cash to give you something to put in it....

    tool roll and tow hook.

    I have a '22 S that has the cool looking tire pump and bottle of goo in the pocket in the trunk. Isnt there supposed to be a tool roll? and a tow hook? By law a dealer has to supply a spare ,jack and lugwrench that fit the car unless it didnt have one when new. Tow hooks as far as I know are...

    Hello World, New (to me) Leaf owner as of April 2024

    Welcome! Let us know how the summer goes there as far as batt temp. I'm always interested in seeing how heat messes with these excellent cars.

    New owner of 2025 Leaf S

    Wow, I think you are the first person with a '25! Pump your tires up to 40-44 psi. DC fast charge it as little as you can. It puts too much heat into the battery when you go over 80% 'full'. Dont DC fast charge when the battery is approaching the red zone on the temp gage. Let the battery cool...

    My new ride 😍

    There is a thread (I don't know how to direct you to it but it does have pictures). The negative terminal on the 12 volt has an extra set of wires going to it, it's not just a thick black grounding wire.It's a black plastic connector that clips onto the terminal with 4 small wires in it. you...

    disconnect the black 4 wire clip from the negative term on your 12 volt battery. now the car will properly charge it (12 v).

    If you've had issues with the 12V battery in your leaf failing prematurely, go out and unplug the low voltage connector on the negative terminal.

    I tried this hack on the drive home yest, 13.9-14.2 all the way home! ( 55 min drive, highway all the way). Exactly the charge rate I wanted. Perfect!
