Nissan never expected the Leaf to sell so well and they never in a million years thought people would be commuting the distances they do. If Nissan were serious about selling electric cars then they'd have more EV models by now after 8 years. Leaf II has simply got to be better, and better...

A new model is what people were expecting and what I would expect when they say "new" . And it is sad that they have no dedicated EV platform and still continue to build the Leaf like an ICE instead of most of the components in the chassis like the Model S and I3. People were also expecting...

Much less to buy than the Bolt ? don't know about that. Nissan should at least have the same 65-70 Kw DC charging that the Ioniq has and more at this stage of the game.

Has no one figured out yet that this is "not" a new model but a facelift ? Too much of the old car remains , the entire middle section for instance looks identical then there's too much of the old car inside too. This is Nissan dramatically cutting costs and thinking Propilot is enough to tempt...

That link does not work for me ?

I got my 2 year inspection done last week. 5 stars for everything after 2 years and 35,700 miles. My recent leafspy data shows 100% SOH and 65.5 Ah , so I am pretty confident that the battery is in extremely good condition with absolutely no noticeable loss in range or capacity. When I picked...

Yes, Diesel Locomotives are very dirty especially starting up and this is perfectly acceptable , they don't have to adhere to anything like the standards that cars do. So many diesel locomotives that are decades old still in use.

what's good for the Goose !!! Don't just come after one , go after all the manufacturers that create bad designs or where there are design flaws which create a situation where people are killed. Well in a case where there are prosecutions there needs to be evidence of these deaths. A fine they...

How is this good news ? Car manufacturers have on many occasions built cars that have actually killed people and not being prosecuted. The Emissions scandal has not killed anyone.

That is exactly what I did last month when I tried increasing stats. While QCs increase stats in the short term, not sure how good it is for the life of the battery - may be marginal reduction? I think my main point being , don't worry about the battery. I don't think a lot of DC charging is...

Mostly when I charge I do not set an end timer , setting an end timer risks not allowing the battery to fully balance. I only set an end timer when I want to charge to 50-70 % when I don't need a full or 80% charge.

You'll have to use the DC charger a lot more than this to increase your reported leafspy stats. Even charging at 6.6 Kw as much as you can will make a notable difference, of course that also means driving a lot. I drive 80-85 miles a day son to be about 90.

Checked LeafSpy yesterday, 65.5 AH, not surprising after a few days not driving much. 283 Gids, never saw more than 284 on a full charge. One thing that I find strange is that Leaf Spy will not show the AH and Hx etc until about 20% of the battery has been used ? I only notice this after a...

Could very well be leaf spy related. The funny thing is that it did not show 67.3 Ah for a long time, I saw it vary from 63-65 ah for a good while and now 67.3 ah again. Here's a very early screen shot not long after getting the Leaf.

I would love to know but I doubt it.

I never noticed this , voltage should be around 394 then at 4.11 V per cell ? That is strange, what would cause this ? I really don't believe my battery is 100% as good as it was when I got it.

That's a real pain in the ass, I presume it's a pretty hot place there ? My leaf has about the same mileage, and 67.3 Ah according to leaf spy last week but it was showing 65 ah for a while but now back to 67ah. I've noticed battery capacity can vary by about + - 7%.

I wouldn't have thought so but I am very curious as to why it behaves as it does !

I haven't seen 67.3 Ah myself for a long time but guess what I saw today after I had been on my week off shift and not driving much ? yes 67.36 AH. Why ? this is anyone's guess, perfect battery ? I don't think so , not with the way I have been beating it the way I drive, though really I don't...

I've seen my health go from 100% to 93% and back to 100% and AH from 65.8 new to 67.5 back to 65.4. tkdbrusco , I'd say if you can even charge at a low charge % to 100% over a week I bet you'd be surprised what capacity will show up again. This is how I charge at work. I charge from 100% to...
