    2020 Leaf EV Charing system Error

    It could be that you experienced a similar anomaly to what happened to me this month, only worse (in my case, it repeatedly rejected all attempts to charge at L3, and the first attempt to charge on L2, but would charge just fine on L2 otherwise). I plan on having the dealer technician pick up...

    "Millie" . . . and "Mini Millie"

    Here is a picture of "Millie," my 2018 Leaf, just after I bought her, and before I had my sagging old rust-bucket 1998 Camry hauled off to its final rusting place. And here is a picture of "Mini-Millie," a custom-painted and custom-detailed Matchbox 2018 Leaf:

    Bought Leaf 2018 maybe wrong decision?

    That's actually a good thing: it discourages you from using that option. L3 charging stresses the traction battery, reducing its life. I have a United Chargers of Canada Grizzl-E installed in my garage, with the charging cable passing through a small hole in the garage door jamb, and hung...

    Rejecting Level 3

    I have the common sense not to charge through the L3 (CHAdeMO) port on any kind of a routine basis, and in fact, the only time I've ever actually done so was shortly after I opened an EVgo account, to verify that my new EVgo card worked. And only for five minutes. Because I know L3 charging puts...

    Are all Nissan portable charge cables compatible with Leaf?

    I personally recommend that, assuming you have control of the area where you park at home, that you live in North America, and that you have access to a 240VAC power source, that you install a home Level 2 charging station. As to specifics, I like United Chargers of Canada's "Grizzl-E Classic"...

    In case of jammed lock button . . .

    Last night, after parking at the Wardlow Blue Line station, to catch MetroRail to an all-Beethoven concert at Hollywood Bowl, I discovered that the starboard rear door would not lock. It would not lock electrically, and the interior lock button was jammed. Thankfully, my car was still there...

    Doors Will Unlock but Not Lock

    2016 would be first-generation, but I don't know if this applies, but I very recently (I was parked at the Wardlow Blue Line Station in Long Beach, about to catch MetroRail to Hollywood Bowl for an all-Beethoven concert last night) discovered a similar problem with my starboard rear door: it...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    No :poop:! The wording of the error message suggests that maybe Leaf Spy Lite simply needs to be recompiled and re-uploaded: it was last updated in 2019, while Leaf Spy Pro was last updated only a few months ago. At any rate, knowing that both your own experience and the Google Play Store tell...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    Hmm. In the Google Play Store app on my Chromebook, LeafSpy Pro shows a purchase button, but LeafSpy Lite shows an incompatibility error message.

    Leaf Spy Lite

    In the Google Play Store App on my Chromebook (a Lenovo IdeaPad 3), LeafSpy Lite gives a message of "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android." By contrast, LeafSpy Pro shows a purchase button, and no such message. If I look at it on the...

    Spare Tire?

    EZ Spare still appears to be in business; they have a modular system that can be used to make a donut for nearly any 4- or 5-lug hub out there, and any wheel size. That's where I got my donut. As I recall, I got my jack on Amazon, along with a set of 4 wheel chocks, and a package of tool clips...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    Thanks. It might be worth a try. Specifics on the adapter? Model? Where to buy? Anybody here know what OBDII adapters are known to work with LeafSpy, and which ones (if any) are known not to work?

    What Do You Wish Your Leaf Had?

    Interesting idea, given that (with that space more-or-less unusable at least in the US-market Leaf) my EZ-Spare donut hangs on a rack in the trunk.

    What Do You Wish Your Leaf Had?

    I wish the display panel that comes up at power-down was the mileage/efficiency history bar-graph, rather than the estimated time to full charge (a panel for which I've never had any practical use, given that I only use public charging stations if there's a reasonable danger of "turtling" the...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    Thanks, Jeff. I've printed out a hardcopy of the numbers, which will be inserted in my Owner's Manual at my earliest convenience. Which doesn't change the fact that I will (assuming it doesn't slip my mind) request a more detailed capacity report when I take Millie in for PM. Nor does it change...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    The only Android tablet I've ever owned was a cheap-🫏 model that slowly degraded from mildly dysfunctional to completely afunctional. I've since replaced it with a Chromebook. Which, thankfully, will run the MFA mobile apps that I need for work. As well as such Linux apps as LibreOffice...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    The tick-marks look pretty evenly spaced on "Millie." At any rate, when she goes in for her PM this year, I'll try and remember to specifically ask for the exact number on capacity. At any rate, isn't LeafSpy a smartphone app? I don't have a full-on smartphone, and refuse to own (much less...

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    61207 miles, all in Southern California. If she's ever been plugged into a level-3 charger, or turtled, it was before my time. And given that the dealer has once again started to bug me about bringing her in for PM, it might not be that long before I get an actual number for battery capacity.

    Battery capacity indicator has just started to drop. Should I be concerned?

    The battery capacity indicator on Millie, my 2018 Leaf, has dropped from 12 to 11. Is that reasonable and expected for a Leaf that's approximately 5 years old, and in my hands for over 3 years?

    Speedometer calibration ?

    I've noticed the same thing with my 2018. I had it looked into when I took it in for the recent safety recall software update. The tech told my service writer (whom I've known since he was in diapers) to feel free to research it further for me, but this thread pretty much settles it: my GPS...
