    Miles remaining changes too much(??) when turning on heater -- after recall service

    Have had my Leaf over 5 years now. When i turn on the heater, the mileage remaining as displayed on the dash, usually goes down by about ~10%. Had been that for essentially years of ownership. For instance, if dash displayed 150 miles remaining, turning on the heater decreased it to approx 135...

    Parallel vs. Series Hybrid

    This is not exactly a Leaf question, but it seems there are alot of knowledgeable folks on this forum. When we bought our Leaf we also test-drove a Chevy Volt (that's "V"). I thought the series hybrid architecture of the Volt was "the best architecture" but we did not like the feel of being in...

    Relation between Capacity bars and Range

    My 2018 Leaf is now 4.5 years old. Pretty low mileage, we put on about 6,000/yr (at ~28,000 now). Capacity is still reported as 12 bars. But Mileage (at least as displayed) with a full charge is down to about 152-153, whereas when it was new and we put full charge on it, it was at 162-164...

    Is the annual battery check the dealer does of any use?

    I have a 2018 now going on 4 yrs old, about 24k miles. Battery is still at 12 bars. Is the report going to tell me anything useful? It doesn't really seem to be useful to me. Given you are at 12 bars, could anything be "discovered" by the evaluation they do? But i see that it seems to be...

    Charging re-starts if you use timer and don't unplug

    Well, this is my observation, so i want to first of all confirm that thats how it works, then ask if there is any workaround. I set charge timer to be on about 12 hours (L1) so i only charge to about 80% instead of 100%. And, timer does that, charging stops, about 80% charged. But, i found then...

    Is it thought to be good/bad/neither to occasionally deep discharge the battery

    Is it a good idea to occasionally deeply discharge the battery? Or, is it bad and to be avoided? Or, doesn't matter? I've had my 2018 Leaf about 7 months, and i think maybe just twice did i get to below 15%. Once was a few days ago, so i was just thinking about it. I could try to get it that...

    Seattleites - How is your Leaf on the new 520 bridge?

    I am getting a huge amount of car-sway crossing the new 520 bridge in my Leaf (2018). Way more than in our other car, a Mazda CX5, which actually doesn't sway noticeably any at all, except maybe in high wind. In the Leaf, for just about every crossing, it feels like the sway you got on the old...

    Using Connect app to turn off charging...strange/ambiguous

    I start the Connect app on my Android phone. The begin screen tells me car is charging...correct. I use the menu (little 3-bar icon in upper right) and go to "Charge" menu. It says "Tap below to start charging". And there is a button labeled "Start". So, what gives?? I would expect the button...

    If charge tapers near the end, why doesn't watts/amps draw drop?

    I am charging my new 2018 Leaf at 120V. have a plug-in meter that plugs into the wall plug and then the charger is plugged into the meter. When i start charging, it reads about 12A and about 1150 Watts draw. Right near the end of charging to 100%, like the hour or two before the charger goes...

    Only getting about 2.25 miles/KwH

    Wonder if this is "abnormal"...see most comments here and elsewhere to much higher numbers, usually in the 3.0-4.0 range, it seems to me. 2018 SV Leaf; I've had it about 2 months. Record data about every 300 miles, and according to car, it got 3.0, 3.0, 2.9, but my meter on the plug says 2.25...
