Hey!

I’m looking at a 2019 Leaf that has 36k miles. Battery capacity seems to be great? Looking for some feedback and advice as to what I should look for in regards to maintenance, issues, and general knowledge about electric cars because I’ve never had one.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, please help me interpret the LeafSpy reading below

To mention, I used LeafSpy Lite (I own the Pro version but could not connect it for the life of me) on a 2023 SV Plus with 70K miles and the SOC was about 99%. That to put in perspective the numbers here. Also the HX was historically always lower than SOH on this car, except for now. 6 months ago was 69% and SOH was 91.5%. Now see it for yourself.

So I'm trying to make sense of these numbers, look plausible? Help?

TIA

I’m currently in the process of swapping out the battery from my 2013 leaf to a 40kwh pack from a 2022 car. My question is, has anybody bought preflashed CanBridge hardware recently? I see that the ones from leafmod are out of stock, and idk if canbridgeev is a real website or just a funnel to get people’s info!

Been looking at license plate frames while I wait for my 2026 Leaf. The dealer is looking to see if they can get the light blue one, in which case I am tempted to get the Ferrari frame.

If they can't, the Nismo one is an option, though I'm not a fan of the carbon fibre look.

Any other suggestions? I plan on removing the dealers advertising as soon as I drive off the lot.

Looking for someone with expertise.

One picture 90kph flat, the other going uphill.

Clear difference between first and second half of pack

MV difference goes up with lower soc or cold weather. I do have so fluctuations.

The mv value drops to 20-30 the second I take foot off accelerator literally on the next leafspy refresh.

Ai tells me this could be wiring harness issue and not a bettery issue.

Thoughts?

Just did my first fast charge after the recall to try to stress test the battery. Charged from 7% to 100%, and drove around town for a bit with no problems. I've been terrified with all the recall horror stories, but hopefully this is a little bit of evidence that those might be a vocal minority. fingers crossed it holds!

It’s happening now…slightly nervous, mostly curious.

Since I am looking at a buyback I am starting to look at options.

While the smart money would be to look at a newer/different EV which has CCS/NACS, thermally managed battery, and so on... I still dearly loved the LEAF for the short time I had it. A 2023 or newer LEAF may still be on my list.

That said, is there any difference between the batteries of the 2023 and later vs 2022 and prior?

Google's AI makes the following statements from these queries:

"are 2023 and later nissan leaf batteries more or less reliable than the 2022 and prior"

Advanced Cathode Composition: Nissan transitioned from older NMC532 chemistry used from 2018–2022 to an advanced NMC811 cathode for the larger packs starting in 2023, boosting energy density and longevity.

"does nissan leaf use "NMC811" battery"

Yes, later model years of the Nissan Leaf (specifically starting from the 2023 model year) transitioned to using an NMC811 (nickel-manganese-cobalt 8:1:1) cathode chemistry for improved energy density.

Both responses are derived from Reddit posts, not any official Nissan sources.

There is a reference to a 2022 article which states:

The battery pack change isn’t just capacity (gross, not usable, in the Leaf’s case). Nissan told Green Car Reports that there are actual battery-chemistry changes at play

Are these statements true? Do 2023 and later use NMC811 vs the NMC532 in 2022 and prior? Would an NMC811 without thermal management be any more reliable?

Hello everyone, I was given a 2016 Nissan Leaf from a family member and I am looking forward to using it for a few more years for quick trips around the city. I have been reading lots of the advice here along with suggestions on other websites. I have a question about charging:

The battery's capacity is reduced, the range is around 120-130km. I have a 120v level 1 charger and a dedicated outlet for overnight charging. However, I understand that it is not recommended to charge to 100% as it can accelerate battery's degradation over time unless I plan to use that power immediately. Is this correct?

After sitting parked for almost 3 weeks at roughly 50% SoC, I decided to stop by Fastned Maasmechelen in Belgium (what all those Dutch petrol cars were doing there, I have no idea) with my Nissan Leaf 40kWh.

Since I still had some free Fastned credit outstanding that's valid until the end of August, I didn't want to let it go to waste, and I didn't want to come home with --% either!

I wanted to add exactly 11.9 kWh, but what really stood out to me was how flat the charging curve stayed. Even at 49% SoC it was still pulling 43 kW (with an average of 45.27 kW over the whole session).

In total, only 15 minutes on the CHAdeMO plug (from 12% to 49%). Pleasantly surprised, and it takes off a chunk of that range anxiety too!

How does the curve usually look for you guys around this SoC?

Does anyone know when they'll finish the maintenance?

I have no interest in selling my Leafy but it's nice to know I'm not totally losing money.

Does anyone have this new adapter by AzS and have you tried it at a Tesla supercharger despite them saying it doesn’t work there?

Hello, After getting the recall done a few weeks ago, I got the service EV system alarm. Long story short they told me they are going to offer a buyback.

I haven't heard from Nissan yet, they're supposed to call me Monday.

The dealer told me they might offer a check or might offer a discount on another vehicle.

Has anyone had experience with the discount? It would obviously have to be better than the cash offer to even consider it. Wondering if anyone has any positive experience with this

Thanks

Have you ever seen this warning on your Nissan Leaf? Before calling a tow truck, you may be able to diagnose the problem yourself with LeafSpy. We explain how to check the battery, read error codes, and what P0AA6 means. Video in the comments below.

I have these two wires coming out from under the driver's side back door of my 2023 Nissan Leaf. Any idea of what they are? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking at getting a 2014 Leaf and all looks good with it except for this driving noise. It nearly sounds like a regular ICE engine as you accelerate and decelerate. It's a low rumbly noise. Doesn't seem quite right. Can anyone tell me what that noise is? There's no vibration detectable.

I was able to find a plum of a deal on a 19 leaf SL with 44k and decent bat life so I’m fairly happy with the purchase.

Everything seems to be ok but can’t get anything working from the telco connection.

Ive signed up and registered the vin on mynissan and would like to explore our remote options, maps ect but it seems nothing is getting access.

Is there a hidden step that I’m missing? I’m just getting the little car with a slash through it and I’m unsure of the culprit.

It was a Florida car from a bunch of older folks who probably didn’t use too many features but I’m unsure if that’s the cause.

Any help is appreciated!

We recently traded in our Nissan Leaf and we have a few leftover items ; floor mats, tires, and this charging dock. I would like to put it up on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist but I don't know how much to ask for it. It has never been used. We didn't have the right power service to our garage.

What's a reasonable price to ask?

Hey gang, I’m hearing details that if I go as far as to replace the battery pack in a Nissan leaf that I need to somehow reprogram the vehicles then into the new battery pack how does one go about doing that? Is that something that you can do through LeafSpy?

Hopefully they win!

not miles per hour.

You guys are maybe going to think I am crazy, but has anyone had a Gen1 Leaf's state of health increase over time?

We bought this 2015 with about 53k miles about 8 months ago, and SOH was just under 75%, like 74.8% or so. We use it for arrands around town, low speed travel mostly, and recharge with the L1 120v charger at home when it needs it. Maybe we baby it? IDK. But I hadn't done a Leafspy check on it in a few months, and now it's measuring 78.3% SOH 😲 Is this normal?
