    2016 LEAF sv or sl radio in older LEAF

    Has anyone attempted to put a new or junk yard LEAF radio from a 2016 into an older LEAF SV or SL. I'm interested in trying to do this for Apple and Android auto integration. Commuting in Atlanta it's nice to get navigation that reroutes during congestion. The map upgrade cost and Sirius...

    Will a leaf work for me? Range in pouring rain?

    Flat out unless you plan to charge at work a 24 KW/h LEAF will not work for you. My commute is 42 miles to work and 50 miles in the evening because I make a change for traffic and a daycare stop. I use my heat, A/C, and or defrost all the time. And let's be realistic anyone who says they...

    Considering 365 Mile Road Trip

    Considering a 365 Mile single day road trip. Longest single day trip I've taken. Furthest trip I've taken is 171 miles from Gadsden AL to Buford GA on the day I picked the up my LEAF and that was done in the Winter. I've never even been on a road trip in the wife's LEAF. If I take the LEAF...

    Amplified Sub Install

    Hey guys I'm thinking about installing my sub from my old car. Nothing to fancy a 10in MTX with a 200 Watt Amp in a very small enclosure. I've read where people run the power wire down the passenger side of the car using the gromet behind the glovebox next to the rear windshield washer fluid...

    J1772 extension cord

    I just bought a second LEAF. I'd like to buy a J1772 extension cord so I don't have to physically move the cars every night before bed. I've seen them come from juice box as well as a couple of other places. Any recommendations on a particular one? How do you guys recommend keeping the...

    Possible 2013 SL Purchase?

    I bought it. It's sitting in my driveway. Now that I have 2 LEAFs does anytime anyone have a recommendation for a 1772 extension cable? I've seen a few of them out there. In the short term I'll just move the cars in the driveway.

    Possible 2013 SL Purchase?

    After some negation were down to 14K out the door including tax title and registration. I'm getting 0% financing with NMAC. With 3K down it's looking like my payment will be close to what I'm spending in fuel with my 2000 Frontier. I'm heading to the dealer tomorrow to look it over. But I...

    Possible 2013 SL Purchase?

    I'm looking for different opinions. I live in Atlanta GA and I currently have a 2015 LEAF S with the quick charge package. And we really like it but wish we had gotten a higher trim package than an S. When we drove it home we thought it had Carwings and the second day we had it we realized it...

    You sir, are the man! I've been looking for a chart like this. So if I understand this correctly I can buy the create your own pigtail from evseupgrade.com with an upgraded evse and then I buy a L15-30 plug. Then when I get them and build the pigtail I match the wires from the chart and...

    Intro and Question

    I'm a Diesel Fleet Mechanic. I work with DC electricity on a regular basis. I hardly ever work with AC electricity which is a different animal all together. But I know enough about electricity to know to not mess with it until you fully understand what your doing with it. This is partially...

    Intro and Question

    I just read this article. If this is the case the LEAF may not even work for my wife's 70 mile commute after a few years...... This is discouraging. :| If this is the case I feel like I was lied to by Nissan when I purchased this vehicle.

    Intro and Question

    I have considered the EVSE upgrade, but I have wondered how that would affect the water resistance of the brick. In this scenario the brick would still be inside, but what if I use it elsewhere like a friends house. Also they don't have a pigtail to go to a L15-30 outlet so I would have make...

    Intro and Question

    I already have L2 charging at home and assuming I can get this 3 phase 208V outlet to work I'm guaranteed L2 charging at work. Although my understanding is that 208v will be slower than the 240v I have at home it will still be way faster than 120V outlet that I'm using now. They tried to put...

    My wife drives it 70 miles round trip everyday with about 75% of it being freeway. She brings it home with about 16% left. But she really is starting to get the anxiety since it's getting cold. But we live in Atlanta so even though it's freeway doesn't neccisarrily mean it's moving all the...

    Intro and Question

    Hi Guys, My name is Brandon and I became the owner of a white 2015 LEAF S with quick charge when my wife decided to by one back at the end of June. Since then it's been a great vehicle. So great that I'm considering buying a second one for myself instead of stealing my wife's all the time...
