Sorry, I haven't been logging in much, but these wheels are actually still available. Now at reduced price because they have some wear on them. I took them off for the winter.

Thanks Gerry. I just went out and tried your instructions, but it didn't seem to work as expected. It's 4:30pm on a Sunday, so I would like the car to charge as soon as I plug it in. But after adding the second timer and plugging back in, I get the sweeping lights indicating it's waiting for the...

The B mode will consume more energy than the D mode. Why? Because it is always more efficient to coast than to move then energy back and forth between the battery and the wheels. B is useful when going down steep slopes or pulling a trailer, when you want more resistance to coasting. It's...

Can someone help me figure out how to program my charge timer? I have a 2016 Leaf SV. I have to charge at work and at home every weekday. When at home, I would like to wait until off-peak rates start at 8pm. But I still want to charge during the daytime before 5pm, without having to remember to...

I think I just got gouged on the first maintenance on my 2016 Leaf at 25,000 km / 7 months at a Nissan dealership in Canada. I figured I would share my experience so other can compare or learn from it. Please share your own, or offer your advice. Here was my $415.22 bill: $0.00 Maintenance...

Want to upgrade to 17" Nissan rims? I have 4 authentic Nissan 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels taken off a brand new car at the dealership before driving away. Stored 5 months in a garage. Comes with original Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires and TMPS sensors. I don't like big wheels and would like...

Thanks for the information and data! Is there a good place to read consolidated information on range and battery capacity, especially for the newer lizard battery? I'm commuting 210 km/day, in a situation where I have to be very careful about range. I modulate my speed and charging times down to...

I've managed to collect data from three similar days. All these trips were along similar routes, with the same elevation change (+160m), same general direction (westward) and same weight. Climate control was always off for the whole trip. Wind SSW 24 SSW 24 S 24 km/h Temp...

Thank you! Can't beat measurements. I've been taking more careful data using the battery percentages, and I think what was happening was that my regular commute just happened to be right on the edge of losing an extra bar. So yes, the seat heater can push me over the edge, but it's not using a...

I understand the Leaf seat warmers are 12V, but I'm not sure why EVDRIVER points that out. I guess that does mean the seat power can't be much higher than 60W, otherwise some big cables would be showing. I'm still suspicious of the DC-DC efficiency though, since the 12V battery is charged from...

I'm only running one seat warmer for the driver, the others for front and rear passengers are off. The climate control is always off. The coldest I've driven in was 7F, so the pack heater shouldn't be on yet. I want an OBDII adapter, but can't splurge on toys right now. The numbers you give...

What is the power draw of the seat warmers on the 2016 Nissan Leaf? A previous post ( http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=10617 ) guessed 60W or below based on other cars, but I have the impression mine is using a lot more. Based on casual observation during my daily 200km commute, the...

There's only one heat pump that does both heating and cooling. When you run both, it's removing heat and humidity with the evaporator (#5 in the image) and releasing that heat (but not humidity) with the condenser. (#4) That doesn't warm up or cool down your car, but neither does it use any more...
