I have a 2016 Volt with the light ash dashboard. In retrospect I should have waited for a black interior, but my Leaf lease was ending and I needed a car. The Volt has a ridiculous amount of glare off the windshield from the dashboard in all weather. I have fount that the drivers height has a...

When I had my 2013 the PTC died. The heat pump would produce some heat, but when it got really cold it couldn't keep up. If you are within warranty, get it fixed ASAP, otherwise it is an expensive part.

It is the motor. My 2013 had it and even my volt electric motor has a whine when traveling at highway speed. It is due to the speed of the motor and a need for more sound insulation. Some people can't hear it because they have lost hearing in that frequency range. I was able to hear it if I had...

Wish I would have known this was going to happen in December when I called and Nissan said "no extensions". I would have kept my 2013SV rather than turn it in. I got a 2016 Volt and have to say I wish I had my LEAF back.

I leased a 2013 for almost 3 years. After 33 months and 38000 miles, I had between 2-5% degradation on the battery. The value fluctuates based on temperature. The weather in New England is perfect for EVs. Not to hot to cause battery degradation, but the winters are a killer. My range in the...

When I turned in my MY13 SV (Dec28) the car had 38228 miles and a SOH of 95%. Overall, I was happy with the degradation of the battery, but I also know it only held up well because I never left the car at 100% for more than a few hours and the weather in Boston was very good for battery life.

For those who asked in PM, the $205 per month included $2800 down, but that included fees and first month. $2500 of that payment will be covered by the MA EV rebate. Unfortunately due to my GM dealer being idiots the Volt is still in transit and I'm without my leaf. Not the best situation, but...

Yes, the $205 per month is for a Volt Base LT with comfort package. The Premiere didn't really add anything I felt I needed. Also, I don't like the idea of paying for options for the next owner. I did have Supplier pricing, a private offer via the chevy website and the MA $2500 rebate I used for...

Decided to lease a 2016 Volt for $205/15k miles/39 months and turn in my month to month 2013 Leaf. The Leaf will go back by the end of the month since I refuse to buy the Leaf with 38k miles for $14.5k after Nissan's not so generous discount. The Volt isn't my first choice in EV (it is a PHEV...

Is the vehicle still for sale? Do you have a LeadSpy reading for the Battery SOH? Thanks!

I spoke with Nissan yesterday about a lease extension and was told flat out "no". They want $14000 for my base SV with 37000miles and 95%SOH on the battery, so I guess it is going back to Nissan to find a new home unless someone out there can convince me otherwise. Now I'm stuck trying to figure...

The currently high lease prices are making me consider a Volt when the lease on my 2013 is up in March. I have a feeling Nissan is going to sell very few of the 2016's at the current prices, especially with the gen2 around the corner.

Gids are 273 at 100%. I didn't have that data when I posted. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the LEAF battery degradation, but I do know that the rate has been slower because of the "cold" weather in the Boston area. I only wish I had a larger battery so I didn't have to worry about the effects...

Update to my numbers for my 3/2013 build & buy SV: Gids: 273 (update to original post) AHr: 62.04 SOH: 94% Hx: 96.62 ODO: 36,486 miles QCs: 0 L1/L2: 2461

Are they officially offering a 4th year lease extension option? Depending on release date, that might make it possible for some of us with 2013s to make it to Leaf2.

Sadly my current SV does't have a Chademo port. I won't make that mistake on my next car.

Looks like I am finally suffering some degradation in the cool northeast climate. 2013 SV built and delivered 3/13. Readings 9/31/15 AHr: 61.52 SOH: 94% Hx: 94.84 Gids @ 100% = 267 ODO: 34,700 miles

Does the 2016 have CarPlay or the Android equivalent? Very tired of the useless 2013 radio/gps.

Cancel. The only maintenance I've performed in 2 1/2 years is tire rotation.

The discolored panel was purple in color not black like the rest of the array. It was like that from day 1. Perhaps a backing sheet issue, or some thing else, but the discoloration covered the entire panel, so I don't think it was heat. As a side note, the crew took 6 panels off the roof to...
