So can that test be used against you or do you think Nissan is just seeing how their batteries are holding up? I'll need to look up the warranty details.

That's a requirement of the lease? You take it in and get it tested? If I were buying a used Leaf its something I could probably pay nissan to do the test for me? Shoot though. I suspect a 3 year old 15,000 leaf charged to 100% everyday would probably still test ok. Of course not as good as a...

So just for kicks I looked on ebay at what Leafs are selling for. Quite a few sold for $17,000-$15,000 with 15,000 miles on them. What I assume you guys are mostly driving. Pretty loaded up too. Too bad no quick charger and a hungry heater. I'll have to take a look at the math to see how bad of...

Thanks for the feedback. Its comforting for sure. Its a rare day that I can come home at 70mph, generally I end up doing that section around 30-40mph because of freeway is backed up. On occasion (holiday) I can 'jam' home (aka 70mph). Those numbers above are my worst case sort of scenario. From...

Where are you seeing the stars?

Olympia to Tacoma so pretty similar to your commute.

Thanks again for putting up with me. Just to make sure I understand correctly. The 2011-2012 and 2013 S models all came with a 3.3kw charger. Which... can be charged with 120 volt (long ass time) or 220 volt (16 amp?). This is what EVSEupgrade uses. The 6.0kw is standard on the SL and SV...

' I don't foresee needing a quick charge. My wife would be driving a gas car and I could always switch with her on the event that I need go further. I'm pretty boring. I'd assume the latest I'd plug in would be 10pm and rolling out at 7am (9hrs at home). Generally though I'm home at 6pm out...

It looks like the Electric heater draws 3 kilowatts per hour (I'm just looking for a number here) vs 1.5 kilowatts for the heat pump. Close enough? Using those numbers my typical commute with the electric heater running would put me at 15kilowatts/16 kilowatts. Charging to 80% should be just...

I think I'd do the same. Right now this is how I drive (bad I Know!). Again worse case situation here.

I'm assuming this is so I can get home at 6pm, plug it in and have it ready to go at 7am? I'm under the impression that 120 is a no go for me. Right? Any numbers on running the heater? Just for kicks. Oh and I'm assuming leasing so I don't have to deal with battery capacity loss? Generally I...

One way into work. ================== 5 miles at 40 mph, 5.9 miles/kilowatt = .84 used 5 miles at 50 mph, 4.6 miles/kilowatt = 1.08 used 16 miles at 65 mph, 3.6 miles/kilowatt = 4.44 used Totaling 6.37 kilowatts. Then turn around and come home same route so 12.74 watts total for the day...

Now that is hilarious! So I'd assume that would be like plugging into any old 120volt outlet. Then the question becomes how much range could you get out of that? And at what cost of time? Ie... how long does that thing go before its done. The next question is can you plug the leaf directly...

I'd expect the specs to be similar. This is pretty typical of most auto competitors. I'm not sure if looking like a regular Fit is a bad thing either. They've been well regarded by reviewers and really I'd prefer to have my car not look like some odd ball car (Prius/Leaf etc...) I'd rather it...
