    Breaker thrown. I wonder what root source of problem was?

    I have: 50 amp breaker 60 amp-rated wiring 14-50 socket I have attached an EVSE to the socket. The EVSE is rated at 40 amp continuous. I charge at either 3.3 kWh on one car, or 6.6 kWh on my Leaf (max charging rate on the 2020 Leaf SV). Last night I had the Leaf plugged in and it was charging...

    Overhead mechanism to hold charge cable?

    Finally got an L2 charger in place and I am 100% positive somebody is going to trip on it. The best way (I think) to resolve is some overhead mechanism to hold it--e.g. this: https://www.amazon.sg/Storq-Home-Charger-Cable-Retractor/dp/B07THH426K . However, that product isn't for sale now, and in...

    After a seven year hiatus I've bought another Leaf

    Enjoyed my 2012 at the time, but living in New York its range didn't cut it. Put a deposit tonight on a 2020 SV with all-weather(not a +). Got a very nice price on a 24 month lease (couldn't justify price increase of a +). Delivery this weekend with exceptionally low per mile overage, so I plan...

    24 month lease. Who gets fed credit?

    I leased a leaf in ‘12 and fed credit went to the dealership. I’m in NY state. Is this still the case? Dealership rolls the $7500? Couldn’t get a clear answer from salesman (he honestly didn’t know), and want to check independently. I also cannot get a clear answer in my googles. I am fairly...

    How many amps for new 240V install?

    Walls are open so we're running a 240V circuit to the garage in anticipation of a future EV (I don't have one at this time). Going to do at least 50amps. 60 the electrician is going to use thicker wire so wants another $100-150. 80 amps he can do for another $100 again on top of that. What's a...

    AAA confirms what Tesla, BMW, Nissan electric car owners suspected — cold weather saps EV range

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/06/aaa-confirms-what-tesla-bmw-nissan-ev-owners-suspected-of-cold-weather.html The AAA study appears to be the first to have used standard, repeatable methodology to confirm the problem. I'm glad we are seeing some more attention to this because it is a serious...

    Volvo unveils Polestar 1

    Volvo Polestar will be their EV brand. I will never afford this car, way too pricey I'm sure, with 600 HP. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/17/volvo-unveils-polestar-1-electric-sports-coupe.html This is an absolutely fantastic looking car. This is one of the best looking new cars I've seen in a...

    Is Nissan likely to lower buy-out prices on leased cars?

    Although the market on used Leafs is still immature, looking on cars.com and autotrader.com I can see a pattern emerging. What I see are some dealers still asking top dollar for these cars, above retail even, and many asking for prices that are likely to move the cars. Example: I see a number...

    I've basically given up on Nav in this car

    This is the first car I've ever had with built-in Nav. I always thought it was overpriced. What I didn't realize, though, is how worthless it is. Not only is in-car nav expensive, but in the case of the Leaf it's actually not usable. Here are the problems with this car's nav: 1) The Bad: The...

    Wouldn't location be nice to pull up on Carwings?

    The "outlaws" are currently driving my car around. I know that because when I hit refresh I can see the miles dropping. Still, it would be even better if I could actually see where they are. Plus, I'd even let my wife have access to the app so she could see where I am if she ever cared...

    Winter 2013, now which rubber mats are best for a Leaf?

    I've searched the forum for winter mats. IMO the best mats out there are Husky Weatherbeater or Weathertech. I have Husky in both of my other cars and they are completely awesome and custom fit, but neither manufacturer has mats for the 11 or 12 Leafs (the 12 very slightly different fit than the...

    What do you think of the Leaf's rust protection?

    I've not known Nissans to be particularly rust prone vs, say, Subarus (I really think those rust a lot). The Leaf looks pretty much like it should be fine, with rubber gaskets around the bottom of the doors (a common rust spot). However, the rear-wheel well for some reason lacks the plastic...

    Is it possible to "break" a socket--no breaker tripped...

    I picked up my Leaf today. I am using only the trickle charger. I have a single 15 amp circuit in my garage (I guess? I have no idea because the electrician didn't label well!), previously with a small box freezer plugged into it, without problem. I connected everything up and as soon as the...

    How does spirited driving affect range in the Leaf?

    More aggressive acceleration decreases fuel economy in ICE cars in virtually all cases and has for decades. What is the relationship in this car to acceleration and range, though? I did search for it, but most things talking about affect on range are weather conditions...

    Just missed out on $239/mo lease nothing down in Western NY

    I'm in Western NY and last week a dealership had a newspaper ad giving out new 2012 Leafs at $239/month, 12k year 39 month lease, $400 disposition fee at lease end was the only extra fee. This was $0 down, $0 taxes, $0 anything. I mean it: zero capital reduction and this included taxes...
