Nissan Leaf

My 2012 with 135k km has had over 3000 l1/l2 charges and 170 quick charges in its life. Something is up with this car

Ya, That's what I was thinking, very strange readings. Recent owner history doesn't inspire confidence either

Most of the charging done on Chademo / fast charge? Seems plausible given that was free for most of the life of a 2011 model.

Found the following on Reddit so maybe you can clear charge numbers accidentally. Just wondering if anyone else has reset their charge numbers?

I think they will, or they will lose sales. I wouldn't have ordered one were it not for the enticement of the 0% finance offer. I'd likely have bit the bullet and went for a Model 3, which was the only other EV I knew that I would receive this year if ordered. The 0% offer was a saving of around 4.5k.

I 've not heard of Leafspy being able to reset those counters..

Looking at a 2017 30kw leaf but it has only 8 out of 12 bars. Why would it be down to 8 already? Any idea whatvthr expected range might be?

What doesnt come standard? What do you see in that pic thats odd to you?

They could be real errors or they could be as a result of a low 12V battery where you then get random errors thrown. The starting point is to check the 12V is fully charged, then reset the errors and then drive the car and see if the errors re-appear and then you have a true state of what errors are real and need further investigation.

I presume this isn't right. See the stuff in the red circles. Looks like someone cut this away and did some work and patched it up again.

I've looked at a jap import 2013 card and it didn't have anything like this.

Would anyone out there with a 2011 check there's to see if it's normal please.

Thanks for checking that for me. That's a mighty help.

Price would be about average for what's out there so I think you're right. I might just leave it. I usually don't buy from dealers anyway. Only reason I was going for it was the better battery SOH on it. 69% for a 2011.

Windsor is free and allowed to use so long as the unit is working and available. This was mentioned during the sale that would be allowed to use FOC. I'm sure it will change eventually as have seen an uptick in usage at the site locally.

A few people taking the proverbial as usual ruin it for everyone else. I was lucky enough to be able to get some juice from a Nissan dealership in the UK when I had bought a Leaf24 at another garage about 100 miles away. I needed an access code and that was that. I suspect the code was due to locals taking advantage, but the dealership were good enough to let me plug in. A €5 connection fee would be fair enough and would discourage abuse.

The new version is already available and any orders placed now will be for the new version. The garage I ordered from included metallic at no extra cost (normally €600) when I went for the SVE (Tekna) model. 2-tone is another €300, which I also opted for (black roof). The Tekna gets a few nice extras on top of the SV Premium (Acenta Premium) which are:

Cold Pack

Leather Seats

ProPilot

Bose Audio system

Automatic Headlights (LED too).

I think both models have the birds-eye-view 360 reverse camera system, which is a great feature I use all the time in my Leaf24 Tekna. Both models have driver alert system, moving object detection and front/rear parking sensors. The 40kWh version gets the 16" alloys and the 60kWh get 17" alloys afaik. They have leather steering wheel, android/apple carplay and intelligent cruise control. I saw the SV model has a "temporary spare wheel" listed, so it would be great if the Leaf comes with a spare...maybe someone can confirm?

I think the €2000 extra is worth it for the Tekna. If your garage is charging for metallic, hit me a PM and I will let you know where I am buying mine.

You also won't get great value on used EVs at the moment. Prices of 2nd hand are just insane. Better rates on new cars.
