I have nothing but good things to say about my 2015 leaf it was a lot of fun, and so reliable. I was really anxious to get a 2018 with a 60k battery but it didn't turn out that way. Since I am 85 and don't know how much longer I'll be able to drive (Doctor says it should be good into my '90s...

Yesterday I saw what was said to be a picture of the plugin area of the new Leaf. The J1772 plug cover was obviously larger than the one on my 2015 Leaf. Speculation was that it housed a plug used in other countries. If this is true I wonder if there will be a kluige to allow use of the current...

Could not find this using search. Until now my nearly 3 year old 2015 leaf (18000 miles) has been giving range calculations averaging 100 +- 10 miles or so in the Summer. So far late spring until now has averaged 85 miles! The only change I can think of is the installation of an L2 charger a...

At the first yearly checkup a couple of years ago I was told that I was charging too often and should travel more miles before doing so. My wife has an incurable case of range anxiety so we continued (trickle) charging often. The range vs. temperature plot here in Maine is the same now as in the...

A half hour search yielded nothing. A mechanical timer, installed by the electrician who put in a dedicated l20 volt line into my garage, stopped after two years. It cost about $40. I would prefer a digital timer which should be easier to set. His supplier has one for $189! A search of Amazon...

It is winter again during which my Leaf may have to remain in the garage for a number of days. In situations like this the LeafSpy OBDII can run the 12 volt battery down. It would be easiest to pull the plug out to the point where the red light goes off, but not out all the way. Is there any...

There have been several comments on curing a freshly painted Leaf. As I remember suggestions ranged from removing the battery before the operation to heating no higher than 120F for the half hour. This is what recently happened to me: Three panels had to be painted (don't ask :oops: ) so I...

On the 6th of July with the battery charged to 100% I drove About 85 miles to Falmouth Maine from the Camden area with a stop at the Nissan dealer at mile 65 for a quick charge. Range calculated out at about 100 miles for that 65 miles, normal for this time of year. Continued the trip, dropped...

Couple of months ago I was told by a Hannafords employee, who saw my Leaf, that a charger (L2) was at the side of the local store in Camden Maine. I charge up for the hour it takes for my wife to shop. No cost so far. Looked at plugshare this morning and the Augusta store has a CHAdeMO for a...

I normally drive with display 3 of Leafspy on. A week or so ago I switched to the battery display and it was mostly red! Occasionally it starts out mostly blue but in a second or so it changes to red. The voltages look normal as well all other readouts that I checked. Travel over the last 60...

Last winter I did not have LeafSpy when discussing range vs. temperature. The discussion group could not understand why my range figures were so high during cold Maine days. It turns out that battery temperature has more effect than outside temperature. Though my garage is not heated, it is...

Could not find the answers with the Search function. 1. Is this the proper place to ask Leaf Spy questions? 2. I reserved 5 SOC units. Does this mean that when GIDS and DTE reach zero that 5 units of SOC remain but that SOC will read 5 on the dash? In other words, does reserving affect the...

After the test was finished I was told that everything was fine with the exception that the car was being charged too often. (Currently 27 miles per charge, almost all L1) My reply was that though I had no more problems with range anxiety, my wife still had trouble with it. Immediately someone...

A ton of wood pellets arrived yesterday and just for the fun of it I put 480 pounds in my 2015 leaf and drove 38.2 miles over familiar mostly secondary roads on a windless day. Driving speed was done mostly at a little over 45 mph except for 15 or 20 minutes at bit over 55. The temperature...

In calculating range I have been using the % charge meter ( (miles/% charge used)x100)) and it seems to work quite well. Until today, the main question was, is the power meter linear? The answer seems to be yes at least down to 30 % or so. Near and below that point the miles per % appears to...

In September of 2014 I went to a Nissan dealer with the intention of purchasing a Leaf. After the normal dance it came time to pay the agreed upon price. I was ready to write a check for the total amount but was told it must be done with a 3 year no interest loan. The penalty for not doing so...

It has been over 3 months since sending in my 8936 form, with no action action so far. Before wading through the possibilities, does anyone know the best way to find out what is going on?

I sent form 8936 to the IRS along with my 2014 income tax forms in mid February and have seen nothing in return as yet. Any experience on this forum that hints at how long the process usually takes?

The help file that comes with Leaf Spy is excellent. The problem is that my copy does not include the settings section. The word "settings" appears at the bottom of the help file but nothing follows it. Touching it does nothing. How do I get a copy of the missing section? Also my settings...

I've spent a lot of time looking up information and using it to set up Leaf Spy with no success. It is at the point now of showing all three of the (Lite) pages but two have no information and the cell voltage page looks good but on inspection all voltages but 2 are the same at 4 volts. Soc =...
