Cars back. Nineteen days on the loaner. No further apology or any further explanation on what went wrong.

Hmm... I declined getting the credit card and still have the 2000 JPY all you can use deal. The charges are directly debited from one of the bank accounts. During the purchase, I initially even declined getting the whole NCS / ZESP2 program. I didn't need it since I have a Level 2 charger at...

I was cheap and ProPilot didn't fit my use case of mostly around town driving. The car sees about 30km (18mi) of usage daily on surface streets. Coming from the Los Angeles, California (USA), where freeway speeds hover around 140kph, I was surprised by the limitations of the Japan Leaf cruise...

I didn't realize the change to allow speeds higher then 80kph (50mph) and now 120kph (74mph)! And I'm not too sure about the other countries, but my 2018 Leaf cruise control tops out at 120kph, can't set speeds any higher. Thanks for the tips and especially the proposed route. While I do like...

@papayaparty : Congrats on getting the 60kwh Leaf. I'm also in the Tokyo area and will be doing a similar trip through the Osaka area during Golden Week. :shock: Yes, I know, probably the worst time of the year to do this, but kids and school. Not a question about the car, but the trip...

Taking a peek through the Nissan EV, I could see my car is now charging at the specialist repair facility. I take it this as a signal that whatever repair has been completed. * It's now day 11. (Car is charging) * Nissan consumer facing seems to take a day off Tuesday, day 10, and the car...

My 2018 with factory 17” wheels tires will have the regen cut out on bumpy sweeping descents. In Japan, the braking zones in higher risk corners are perversely zebra striped with a high grip colored surface. While fine a straight line, in a curve, the regen will cut out. For the winter tires...

This is either the tip of the iceberg of just within the expected defects that slip past quality control. Anecdata but my failure is with 7,000km at Tokyo speeds. Mostly putting around under 60kph on rolling hills. Have taken road trips at highway “speeds”; gone up long uphill grades at...

Nissan finally called after having the car for five days and said a bad cell triggered the error message. Strange since three weeks prior to the break down, during recall inspection plus maintenance, the diagnostics showed the batteries SOH (assuming it means State Of Health) at 100%. They...

My turn but this time in Japanese. (Because I'm in Japan.) This popped up while I was driving home at around 10pm on Saturday. After parking and powering down the car, on restart the error message remained and will not engage D or R. Everything else seems to power up fine; climate control...

Finished the return trip. Long downhill at a slow pace, under 60kph netted +4% charge, even with the AC going in -7dC weather. Regen still cuts out with full lift off. Keeping the pedal slightly engaged seems to give full regen. On the highway, with temps hovering at 3dC, regen seemed to be...

I put winter tires on several days ago and noticed that regen cuts off during stronger braking, when lifting off the accelerator pedal completely in e-pedal mode. I peeked at the error logs in the service menu and it found a fault with the TCU, I think in this context, the traction control...

Interesting, setting up a heat sink / heat spreader. Unfortunately I don't think the battery area is directly exposed to the ground. Maybe a heat pipe solution?

Lots of factors like density of public chargers, distance traveled, and the cars charge capacity. My 40kwh Nissan Leaf typically travels about 20km daily with 2 days out of the week 60km. The local super market has quick charge chademo, where about 30 minutes of charging will bring it over 80%...
