    2021 SV+ W/TECH & $4000 Tax Credit

    I've posted references for this sale. However, now that I've listed it with a "dealer" option, the pricing becomes very favorable for anyone qualifying for the available $4000 tax credit for used EVs. Check it out: https://www.findmyelectric.com/listings/2021-nissan-leaf-sv-plus-218549/ The...

    Moving on??

    Thinking to sell my 2021 SV+ with tech package. About 13,000 miles. Battery at 93% SOH with minimal mV deltas. Gray tone with cloth interior. Not a dent nor scratch anywhere - always garage kept and/or long walks from shaded parking! Has been a great car, but no outlook for V2X support via...

    Challenging the opinion

    What's your opinion about consolidating charging connector technology - that in this article clearly links overall EV decisions so emphatically with the charge connector itself?; https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-only-ev-worth-buying-right-now-charging-nacs-ccs-2023-7

    California - bidirectional charging

    Anyone done a deep dive into California's SB-233 that requires all EVs sold in CA to be bidirectional charging capable by 2027? A few major issues: OEM participation/support Battery degradation Solar/grid capable converters and compliance issues CCS (DC ports) and CHAdeMO compatibilities for...

    Replacing a front tire

    I ruined a front tire - had it replaced with the exact match. The mileage was around 7000. The difference in tread depth between the old front tire and new front tire was measured at 1-2 "32nds". All old tires measured the same tread depth. Do I need to switch the new tire to the back to...

    DTCs after hitting curb

    Had to replace the tire after running over a curb - split the tire, but no damage to the rim. After clearing DTCs (LeafSpy), I still have several remaining (see attached). The Leaf operates flawlessly and no "check" lights of any kind. I've disconnected the battery for a few minute, but still...

    Does 2021 Leaf actually offer V2X capabilities?

    Interesting discussion with "Thomas" of customer "support" division of Nissan. When pressed about how to interpret the (attached) owner's manual section of V2X, the rep would only answer with a canned response that my vehicle does not support any V2X capabilities - and that it is experimental...

    Apple CarPlay - USB 1 or USB 2

    My 2021 SV Plus has two USB ports (labeled 1&2). I read somewhere in the multitudinous manuals that "more features" are available using USB 1 (type C). I'm using port 2 (type A), and only a few of my iphone icons show up. I've ordered the "lightening" to USB C cable and will report any...

    Texas, ERCOT, PUC and the severe winter storm

    It was recommended by ripple4 that I post my experience during this severe weather event as a new topic. Note that these are my observations and calcs from data available from both ERCOT and Griddy's pricing/timing during the event, but have not done extensive research on ERCOT/PUC's "cash...

    Time to upgrade

    My 2012 Leaf has been a great "suburban" vehicle. Easily gets me around the neighborhood, in to town (Houston) and back and forth to work. Battery is down to about 51 amp-hrs, so has degraded, but still Ok for all EXCEPT a trip to a rural piece of property. This property is little less than...

    "Lizard" battery stats - hot climate

    Thought I'd post the latest amp-hour chart for my 2012 Leaf, with the hope that others that have similar data can compare based on similarities/dissimilarities. The data is based on a new replacement battery installed in November of 2016. - Mostly commuter/in town use with occasional highway...

    Regenerative braking cycling

    Recently noticed that the amount of regenerative braking cycles - usually when applying light to medium braking effort. The energy "dots" don't seem to reflect this. I've tried to apply the most constant pressure on the brake pedal, however, there is a noticeable oscillation in the amount of...

    Flow battery to a new level?

    Interesting and exciting claims being made: https://mediacenter.nanoflowcell.com/news/2018-03-28-nanoflowcell-our-technology-is-now-ripe-for-market/a400b36f32da3990ec05f64f8392976b/ Will this technology beat out conventional lithium based batteries for transportation? Totally discounts the...

    Considering an upgrade to 2017

    Having a great experience with my 2012 Leaf - new battery about 2 years ago and meets my "commuter" needs very well. ~58 aHrs currently Considering upgrading to a 2017 SV/SL for the following reasons: - I'd like to be able to get to my rural property on one (or close as possible) charge -...

    HVAC (A/C) cuts out

    Stored DTCs - B2785 B2786 B2791 HVAC. A/C cuts out for several minutes. This has happened a number of times - usually for 2-5 minutes, then A/C slowly cools down again. This happened yesterday on the freeway. Outside temps were almost 100 oF - got a little uncomfortable before cooling...

    30 kwh leaf - what's it worth?

    I'm in the market for a 2016 or 2017 Leaf with QC and navigation. Not much else matters - must have a 80-90% battery ahr rating. It will be my commuter car AND my "V2H" unit for off-grid backup energy storage to be used with my solar system. Question is how much have these models depreciated...

    Leaf revival

    I see many 2011/2012/2013 Leafs that are such a bargain here in Houston, TX - especially those with low bars (7 or less). I was extremely lucky to have purchased a like new 2012 SL two years ago that Nissan efficiently and graciously replaced the traction battery a year and 4 months ago - for...

    Battery max mV sudden increase

    I captured this battery screen on LeafSpy - never seen anywhere close to this delta mV. After charging it has gone back to the 20-30 mV range that is normal - even at low SOC's. The battery is a year old with 10,000 miles on it. Shocked me, however, I've always been suspect that the cell...

    Will Bolt be first to V2G/V2H?

    Is anyone familiar with the Bolt's PLC (power line communication) protocols? Is there a CCS "standard" that defines these protocols consistently for charging stations? It is quite interesting that the more advanced solar systems designers (e.g. Pika Energy) appear to be using PLC protocols to...
