I seconds this opinion, to Not Buy it if you're so UL'd out about this . I bought it, it worked great, sold my Leaf to my sis , who never bought a permanently installed ESVE and uses the Ingineer genius upgrade, and saved THAT money. You can lawyer up on any issue if you want to keep digging!!!

HaHAHAHAHA !! I didnt say the JUN 2013 thing right....I MEANT to say, the JUN 2013 Battery Check Anniversary, which she did in May, because I told my sister it was DUE JUN 1. LOL. It also could be that those EUROPEANs are very careful with the language, versus, say, ME...LOL :lol:

She has the ESVE upgrade from Ingineer on here, so looks like shes good on the 240 Volt. By the way....THANKS everybody !! I love this site. You all are GRRRREAT !!

Changed TITLE..... hope this is more accurate

So, hit the start button twice with no brake... right ?? This will be GREAT for her. She needed the heat in IOWA during winter, and had no way to PRE HEAT with it plugged in. So, if the car is already plugged in, already charged, she can do this.... right??

Thanks ! Will search that. Sister just wants to be able to go out to garage, with car plugged in and turn on the CLIMATE CONTROL, without having to do it on the cell phone app.

I know there is a lot of Degradation stories, and frankly they scared me OUT of owning my LEAF here in Houston. I sold my Leaf to my sister in IOWA. Heres the stats. VIN #2018 Delivered JUN 2011. Sold JUN 2012 , but NO Degradation JUN 2013 My sister just had the battery check, and it has...

Can I have a MODERATOR To link me to a discussion about Pre Heating or Pre Cooling if you dont have a smartphone app. My sister refuses to get a smart phone, and the dealer said to call CarWings to find out how to turn on the car heat/cool with out the use of a cell phone app. IOWANS...

What I want to know is, did the GEN 3 smart get a temp management system for the battery.

You are right !! Cars are depreciating assets !!! We love em though... Im gonna LOVE the S. Until I get tired of it, then it will be........SOLD !!! and I will buy another......Depreciating asset !! Now. Back On TRAC. Who else has a story about bailing on their LEAF, and the details of it.

Well, back on subject, I bailed too. I felt the same as IBELEAF. At first it was FUN. Then the worrying about how I was treating the battery. Then, the degradation stories. Then I worried about being an EDSEL owner. I was trying the leaf to get my feet wet in the EV learning curve , and I...

Well, My 2011 SL with QC was just sold to my Sister. Before I did that, I went to CarMax. They Bid $23,000 for it. She paid me the same. Heres the Math. I paid 38302 with TTL. 11000 down, andhad it for a year, with 12650 miles. I had a 5 star Battery Check. 38302 less 23000 is 15302. I...

Well, you all were RIGHT !!! The QC does seem to charge to 80% if its below 6 bars , and above that, it goes to "98%" . The GOM does let me know things are out of "kilter" as one of you said, the car has to sort itself out after some QC events. I went thru some threads about balancing, and...

Thank you all for the very informative answers !! I dont claim to be a genius in understanding all these elements of battery module control, and our GOM/bars and degradation, and the cars reaction to QC's. I just hope that we all have an excellent overall battery life, and that our experience...

Hey all. I have two experiences with strange readings after QC here in Houston, both at separate Chademos on the eVgo network here. (btw, eVgo is doing a fabulous job here in Houston, IMHO) 1. CHaDemo charger says its at 98%, and shuts off. As I check my onboard status, I have 8 bars. I...

Post subject: Re: LA Auto Show green car newsPosted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 7:50 pm Gold Member I scanned thru this Future Battery Tech section, and didnt see this from the LA car show I saw in another thread here on MNL. What ever happened to THIS discovery ? It seems to be the "cold...

Well.....Im back !!! After the Dealer, I havent had the fortitude to pull the Glovebox off, (EZ enough to do) and check if I have power in all the right places. I have enough nerves in me to make a good toy poodle, so It takes me a while to power up again after the southbound experience I had...

Im dumb with acronyms.... Can you tell me what a VCM is/does explain ??

Wow Phil !! Im glad I didnt try THAT hack !! :lol: So here is the report youve all been waiting for: The LEAF is back from the dealer after it had a stroke after my hack. This is from the ticket, typo's and all: LINE 51 Customer states T/M malfunction light is on: p189D / P0571 / U1000...

Yes, there is shrink tube slid back on all the wires in the picture I posted I just HAD to post that pic again, to show off my new upload pic prowess. So, yes, I heat shrank them, and then put it all back neat neat neat. Anyone want to comment on the pin positions I soldered into from this...
