You are correct. Voltage reads 4.20 volts.

Yesterday morning, my Leaf quit working. Pushing the start button, almost every error light comes on and the center of the readout shows a battery symbol and a message that says "Stop Vehicle." I can hear a small *dng* sound from under the car, as if the relay is trying to engage but cannot...

I could go with heated shoes.

Update: Now I live in Denver. Wanting the heat pump even more.

Actually, it was an Arkansas car first, so there's "damage" from being in the hot humid south. I moved up here a year ago. I moved partly to be closer to my home town in Southern Oregon.

Okay, I found it. A little out of the way, but it is closer. Thanks

Where is Colorado Springs Utilities? I'm not finding anything in that vicinity.

Thanks for the tip. I was just studying Plugshare myself.

Thank you for that link. Looks like he went from somewhere a little further west in town from where I plan to begin the trip, at the Nissan dealership with the quick charger. I'll be coming from Denver, so I'll need a full recharge before I can start up. I also don't have a new battery, I...

I'm planning a trip to the top of Pike's Peak. Yes, I know a stock Leaf won its class in 2011, but it started fully charged at the start of the race, which is not at the bottom of the mountain. I am going to be starting fully charged in Colorado Springs, the real bottom of the mountain. The...

A couple of questions, hopefully I'm not asking something available somewhere else, I've looked at the Wiki. I've just purchased the Pro version and I have n/a for tire pressures and don't know how to get to the Service Menu. I would be happy to receive some simple tips. Great app, enjoying...

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to run the battery just about all the way down due to forgetting to plug the car in after an errand. It seems the lower the battery is, the better the regen works.

All I have is my one car, but I could tell the difference pretty easily, because like many Leaf drivers, I enjoy driving and getting good efficiency, and practice at it. There's a short stretch of downhill (45 mph) right down from my house. Previously, the car could maintain the correct speed...

Yes, those too. But I can deal with the battery. Tell me if I'm wrong, but there is no reason why it should not be able to regen at anything near the rate of the CHAdeMO plug in the front of the vehicle (62.5 kW?). Sure, take battery temperature and charge into account to regulate it (and...

Thanks all for the replies. It shouldn't be much colder here, as I said, hasn't even gotten to freezing yet and I've never seen the battery temp below 4 bars. It is a 2012. I was one of the fools who bought the car (at $6k off the sticker price) the day before the 2013 info came out at a...

I recently had my car software updated and it seems that the regenerative breaking performance has been curtailed significantly. It can't seem to get more than 15-20 kW at the most even with the brakes full on and freeway speeds. Before, I could get the full 30 kW whenever prudent, but now...

I get that all the time. That's northwest Arkansas, and you'd be surprised. A couple years ago, we got -20. I do know such a conversion would be difficult. But I'm ambitious. I'm keeping this car for the long haul and planning a move to a much colder climate. I do have the cold weather...

I was unfortunate enough to take the fantastic deal that was available in January of this year in which dealers (and Nissan) were eager to get rid of stock on hand before releasing the 2013 model. This left me with a vehicle which I like but shortchanges me on winter range due to the electric...
