My traction battery was replaced by Nissan in Oct of 2017. Is there a way to confirm if a lizard battery was installed?

At 13,000 miles, 2015, I had to replace my original tires (Nissan). At 17,000 miles, 2017, down 3 bars, I replaced the traction battery ($6300 - Nissan). At 24,000 miles, 2019, I replaced the tires - again (Discount Tire). Last week, at 26,000 miles, I just dropped the first bar on the new...

For seven years, I have been driving down the hills from my house (mostly regen) to our local mall where I park and head out on a daily hike. I drive back up those same hills to go home. It is two miles each way. I know exactly where I drop my first bar on the return trip. Recently, our...

SDGE is at it again. I see now they have changed the Super Off Peak summer period from 12:00AM - 2:00PM. Off peak is now 2:00PM - 4:00PM, and Peak pricing remains at 4:00PM to 9:00PM. Complete and focused attack on solar customers. They will continue to tweak their rates and TOU parameters...

Just looking for some advice ... I have a 2011 Leaf SL (original owner) with 21,000 miles. Nissan replaced the traction battery last December under a warranty deal. Very clean car - new tires, seats covered since day-1. Garaged in San Diego since purchase. No maintenance issues. Time to...

Has anyone had experience with a charger (Juicebox, Chargepoint, etc) that I could plug in at an RV park to charge my Leaf? Most parks have 30a/50a power stations. I have the 120v unit that came with my Leaf, but that is a slow process. Thanks in advance...

Has anyone tried to use the Leaf as an RV tow vehicle? I know it would require a dolly trailer and a 30a/50a charge cable for RV Park charging, but what other considerations? Would it be practical to run the 120v charge cable off the generator while the RV is in motion? Can the Leaf even tow...

I may have missed this in a previous post - if so I apologize. One of the many new laws passed in Corruptafornia for 2018 was to "expire" all HOV white stickers, with no option for renewal, at the end of 2018. I believe new ILEVs will qualify for a revised program, but no extensions are being...

I had my traction battery replaced about a month ago and what an incredible upgrade! The vehicle is performing better than it did brand new. I am getting 70 miles out of a charge, even with my 70 mph travel and a/c use. I know this is an improvement because I am making trips now I could not...

That car is REALLY small! Beautiful smooth design, but everything looked minaturaized even compared to my Leaf (#NeverNissan). As I prepare for life after the Leaf, I'm looking at every EV option - trying to avoid a sedan (like the Model S); I haven't bought into the gull wing doors of the...

Has anyone had experience with a loud grinding noise from the AC/Blower motor? Just seemed to start making noise for no reason. Becomes more pronounced if you step up the fan speed. How difficult is it to get to the fan blower motor?

I have been getting the Blink self test fault error randomly for about the last year. I decided to "dummy" the Blink unit based on the instructions that have been in previous posts. I removed the top blue pin and the bottom blue pin connectors. Put the covers back together. Now it appears it...

It had to happen eventually. Still another kick in the teeth. What can you do..... :o For full transparency, I have to admit I am convinced the 2011 introduction of this vehicle was a total fraud. Nissan flat out lied about several aspects of the release. That said, as an early adopter, I...

I plugged my Blink into my 2011 Leaf and the Blink started making a buzzer sound. It has occasionally done this before - I flipped the breaker to the Blink off - let it reboot and it would charge. Not today. It continues to emit the buzzer sound and will not charge the car. Anyone else...

Drove my 2011-Leaf last night - no issues. Plugged in the charger this morning and nothing happened - no clicking - no response from Blink. Put the 12VDC battery under charge - showed completely charged in 2 hours. Inside, the start button lights up, and I can see the flashing red key on...

Has anyone tried towing their Leaf behind an RV? How did it work out - the challenges? I expect the charging and tight range to be an issue, but the light weight and portability seems like a fit. I have not yet seen a Leaf out on the highways behind a pusher. Would be nice to make this work...

Anyone know if we are authorized to use the HOV "on ramp" lanes with the cool clean air stickers? Can't seem to find a citation in the DMV code to cover this.
