    Central PA EV news

    First quick charger in central PA now working at the Blairsville Sheetz. I charged there this evening and I posted it to plugshare myself since the other posting had disappeared. Amazingly enough, within an hour of my posting a new station, all the other Sheetz chargers went back up on plugshare.

    Central PA EV news

    I tried to use the quick charger at blairsville yesterday. It all seemed to work but it gave me an error when the credit card was processed. I tried several cards so my guess is that the data connection is not working yet. The fee is $1.00 for 5 minutes and you purchase the number of five...

    How to Check Battery Capacity, Degradation and Range

    I just found this thread and I've been concerned with my range and/or battery. I have logged quite a few trips where I reset the dash readouts for each trip. Here is the data for a NEW 2013 with more between 800 miles and 3000 miles: Starting SOC %, Ending SOC%, miles driven, mi/kWh...

    What's best SOC for a cell pair voltage test?

    Until now, I didn't know what to tell them other than I just didn't think it was getting the range it should...which is pretty lame. But they did do a battery test...when it was nearly fully charged. I talked with the actual service guy a few times, and he was just reading numbers from a...

    What's the thing you hate most about your Leaf?

    It seems petty, but the glove box and storage compartments, places, and cup holders in general. Considering that they had an engineer or two (or more) whose sole purpose was to get those things right, it would seem they would have learned something from the Prius which IMO is one of the best...

    2013 Low Battery Capacity AHr Battery Degradation

    I did that and I could only verify that it was bounced between 2 or 3 area dealers since October. But nothing for March to September. I did just buy one of the cheap VIN search reports, and it reports the car being titled with 11 miles. That should not be possible since I got it with 260...

    2013 Low Battery Capacity AHr Battery Degradation

    I have what may be a unique experience with the 2013 low capacity issue. I just purchased a 2013 SL this month (december 2013), and it has had issues since the very first day it came off the lot. To add, the VIN door sticker says 03/13 (march 2013) and I bought the car in December. Nissan is...

    EV System Warning Light

    This is just a followup for anyone searching this warning light issue in the future. According to my local dealer, and I say this because my new Leaf has other issues that are still unresolved, and may or may not be related, they did a VIN search and found that my brand new leaf (only 1 day...

    level 1 charging caused lost SOC

    Attaman, I think you were correct. I've now seen this happen numerous times and in different Leafs, and even with level 2 charging. In each case, there was not much charging that had occurred for whatever reason, so I guess the batteries were just 'leveling'.

    Driver's seat remounting

    Is it possible to remount the driver's seat 1-2 inches farther back? And on a related note, has anyone noticed that the 2013 SL has less driver leg room than the 2013 SV (by an inch I would guess). They are supposed to be the same, but I traded in an SV for an SL, and there is no way they...

    Touch Screen/shift Issue

    I have a 2013 SL also purchased in VA (that really seems like a coincidence!) that has the touch screen lock up after a bluetooth phone call. I did not notice any shift issue, but I did notice that the voice recognition didn't work after the call. The audio worked fine, but you couldn't see...

    EV System Warning Light

    I'm not really expecting an over-the-phone diagnosis. I'm more interested in whether this particular error message combination has come up before or frequently so. This is a car that was literally just bought (I had it for under 24 hours before towing it to the shop!). It had ~250 miles when...

    EV System Warning Light

    I just bought a second leaf yesterday (2013 SL) at a dealer 200 miles away (because I'm in an area with few or no EVs). I had lots of trouble getting the car home because even at 40 mph it was only getting 60-70 miles range. While charging it did some funny things, it would charge only 3% in...

    240 vs. 208 Volt level II charging

    Many people view 208 V and 240 V as the same thing, but they are not. The 208 V is a result of three phase power, and 240 V is the result of two phase (a.k.a. one phase) power. But I've taken my level II charger off the wall and on road trips before so I can drive long distance through places...

    level 1 charging caused lost SOC

    There is a difference between "on" and "ready". The car does charge in the "on" mode (push button twice but keep your foot off the brake, and this mode is different from the the "ready" mode (put foot on pedal, and the car symbol shows up on the dash). Although I don't always do this, I've...

    level 1 charging caused lost SOC

    I don't usually charge on Level 1 and expect to drive 90 miles! Unlike I suspect 99% of the folks on this forum, I have no 'public' Level 2 charging available anywhere within 45 miles. There are only 3 within 80 miles if I happen to be going in those directions. But there are several in key...

    level 1 charging caused lost SOC

    Sorry, planet4ever you correct me. The car was in 'on' mode (but not "Ready to drive" mode). Based on some of the responses, I've tested a few things today. When in "ON" mode, the car did not loose any % SOC over 1 hour. When in "READY" (to drive) mode, the car didn't loose any %SOC over 30...

    level 1 charging caused lost SOC

    I was making a trip yesterday where my destination was very close to the range. So I stopped to charge with the handy level 1 plug along the way for 30 minutes. I pulled in at 50%, but when I left it was at 48% and quickly went to 46%. So I actually lost 3+% of the battery while charging for...
