    Altered capacity bar thresholds?

    mwbushroe, you're an engineer, you should now crap data in will only give you crap results. Your battery warranty is 5yrs/60k miles to lose 4 bars. A quick google search will give you your 2014 warranty booklet. Your battery is behaving normally for phoenix. Your testing and extrapolation...

    Service wiring for my 3 car 240VAC electric charging garage!

    From reading through this thread I can see why the Electrician is asking $6800 to deal with OP...

    Service wiring for my 3 car 240VAC electric charging garage!

    Running two separate lines to garage (even in the same conduit) is silly and the electrician is laughing at you for wanting this. Have them pull a set of wires for a 100a panel in the garage, that way you can add outlets and lights easily and quickly in the future. This will only take up a...

    Usefulness of Dealer Battery Reports

    What? No. Charge to 100% before you get to bent out of shape. Trying to back-in to battery health from kWh numbers is a tough game that is impossible only charging to 80%, it'd even be difficult to be accurate going up to 100%...

    I Beat EPA's 2.9 Miles/KWh : Report Your Monthly Mileage

    What a difference a resistance heater can make... Based on what my Leaf dashboard says I'm down to 2.7 mi/kWh from 4.0 this summer. This is with the heater cranked and aggressive driving so I'm not complaining. Just a data point.

    2014 nissan leaf S for $6,999

    That's a steal on the 2014's! I would buy that in a heartbeat. I would check which one has the latest in service date to have the longest warranty period, but I don't think I would let that change your preference on color/interior combo... Enjoy!

    2013 S - 80 or 100%?

    I charge to 100%. I also let it sit that way overnight. Read the stories about people just missing the battery warranty, then decide if you want to "baby" the battery. If nothing else it allows me to never really look at capacity remaining on normal days.

    2013 recently dropped to 8 bars

    I don't know what you mean by "start the process". You could either "start the process" and get a new battery or you could wait until a later date to "start the process." Me personally, I take the battery replacement as soon as available.

    Want to buy a leaf, need to do 84 round trip 1x to 2x per month.

    With the wide-spread availability of L2 & L3 charging in the area (check out plugshare.com) I wouldn't be bothered by this trip. Yes, at some point you may not be able to make the round-trip without charging, but this is a once a month trip. With multiple L3's in boulder and Denver and a...

    Purchased a used LEAF :(

    This does not look like fun. The good news I suppose, is that it's all warranty covered.

    Bought 2015 Leaf S, Awesome car! Noob questions..

    Those "three blinking lights" also indicate general battery charge by 1/3's of the battery. I prefer just to use the 6.6 kwh the charger will add and an estimate of how many kwh's the battery needs... I don't have carwings either...

    Purchased a used LEAF :(

    Maybe you wouldn't get 30 miles back out of that 35% capacity. I typically see 1 mile per % remaining from about 40% and below, that's my only reference. That's on an 89% capacity 2013... I understand the charging glitch would be an issue if it persists. What I don't see is a BMS reset or...

    Wheel size (steel/Al and 16"/17") vs. range?

    While theoretically the difference in wheel diameter will have a small effect on range, it is a significantly smaller effect than driving style. This is a fun car if you actually drive it...

    So I Went to the Dealership Yesterday...

    $13k isn't an unreasonable discount, there's a group buy in Aurora, CO that has some amazing (very similar) discounts currently. It would be pretty hard to bamboozle you if the bottom line number didn't reflect the $13k in discounts. If you're in the market anyways that would be a great price.

    Anyone skipped battery test but still got replacement under warranty?

    I was equally confused... I'm interested to see the possible effects on the defective battery warranty. I'm curious what qualifies as a "qualified repair shop" for the battery usage reports according to the warranty? I vote for leafspy...

    Purchased a used LEAF :(

    I don't know what to think about that stop in charging at 56%, hopefully a fluke. I think everything else looks fairly typical. Doesn't look anything like a BMS reset to me, the AHr would be up around 66 had that been done... A 55 mile gentle trip with 35% soc left seems pretty good. Would...

    Possible 2012 purchase

    Super Fun! Just fyi, the AC draws at or just under 1kW at full blast and drops down to around 300 watts to maintain according to leafspy. Nothing like the 5kW from the heater.

    2011 LEAF without an HV battery

    No, your first post was fine. What people were trying to tell you is that a generator isn't likely to provide you with sufficient power to run your electric motor. This thread should pry be combined back to the original post...
