Tonight I will be rolling over 100,000 miles on my second LEAF. The first Nissan LEAF having gone in excess of 150,000 miles brings me to a quarter of a million all electric miles. This has been nearly mechanically perfect - the only issue was the power window switch on the 2011 and the blue...

Hi everyone - it has been some time since I posted here. My 2011 has over 150K miles (gave it to my Mom for use in her small town for errands and driving just a few hundred miles a year). The guessometer currently shows 35 miles of range. My 2014 will reach 100K miles in late October and has...

Hi everyone - It has taken me a long time to get from 100,000 to this milestone. In October I was at 146,000 and GIDS were 152. I was waiting for better weather as the power draw for heat was just too much. Tonight when I pull into the driveway the odometer will roll 150,000 miles. My GID...

It has been some time since I've posted an update. My mileage rate/month has dropped as I'm splitting my driving across another LEAF. Today was a perfect example - rather suddenly this morning, I realized I didn't plug in the '11 last night. So I plugged in the '14 and because of the faster...

As I was afraid when the no charge to charge cards came out I have run across cars being left unattended on chargers. They are leaving it trying to get to 100% without regard to the damage it does to the battery. I have infercepted the same car the last three mornings. So, I have unplugged...

Could it be that they are going to move away from the flat price per charging session or timed model?

As many of you know, I purchased my 2011 LEAF with the idea of saving money on my daily 130 mile commute. But with over 120,000 miles and 3 bars gone, I was getting concerned. So I started shopping for another car, not necessarily as a replacement, but as a backup if things got too rough with...

That about sums it up. Still doing the same commute - 63 miles or so depending on the route. Charging to 100% at least twice a day. I'm now using QC once a day if not more. Two year battery check was 5 stars. Seats are dirty, tires are getting worn. No point in doing rotation at this...

I'm finding that the 2012 side mirror assemblies with heat are mid $100 each. Can I install these on my 2011? Anyone done this that can pass along any tips? Thanks

Here is the situation - nearly 55K miles on my 2011. I drive almost all freeway miles about 130 miles a day - 10 bars used to get me 66 miles. It is currently getting me 55 miles. Very soon, I won't be able to complete my commute without stopping for additional charging. I average between...

(Revised) Last week, I rolled through 50,000 miles. Indicated capacity loss of about 13% - in line with my previous observations of reduced range. I still have all bars showing. The car has been trouble free - save some grease on the passenger window. It seems that a future model will...

I see consistently lower range from the third bar used than all the others. Does this correspond to a physical part of the battery?

I wanted to pass along to all that a LEAF can be used as a relatively high mileage commuter. Today is the last day of year one. I have driven over 37,750 miles and that is with 48 days during the year with no driving. My expected mileage was 40,000 so I'm not that far off. Today I took the...

This happened twice today within an hour - once while displaying map and the other the energy info screen. The screen went to black, power cycled, played the startup sound, paired with cell phone and asked if I wanted to connect to carwings. This is not the first occurance either but first...

I know there is a 2 day delay but the rankings are now beyond that. The driving history and current day's driving is correct. The data downloads in car only reflect standings through 12/29 even though regional rankings are through yesterday (1/2). Anyone else noticed this? It is just the...

On occassion, I have to stop for a short time - bank deposit or something that requires me to power down the car and soon after power it back up. Maybe those of you with the detailed SOC can tell me how much energy this cycle uses up? I can pull in showing 3 bars used and when I power back up...

Here in the Northwest, we are experiencing a bit more than our normal November. With that comes lots of standing water - some of it is to the top of the curbs and you can't always go around due to other traffic in adjacent lanes or even detours. Does anyone know of a downside to getting...

Today, on the way to work, I got the information feeds every 1/2 hour. After starting up to head home, the download was pretty quick. Then some time later, I got a voice response that in order to use Carwings, I must create an account. What the heck - I've had the account since I picked up...

I may have an opportunity to show my LEAF to one of our US Senators. Aside from anything political in nature, what would you suggest I discuss or point out? Update 08/06: I was advised last night the visit has been cancelled. Thanks for all the comments - I will pass them along to her office.

Says it fixes minor bugs. Will have to see, but the estimated range came out right this time. Maybe they fixed the log in too. Not sure what minor fixes were made.
