My 2013 Leaf has recently developed an odd steering twitch. Both ways. It's like hitting a small patch of ice. While driving in a straight line, at a constant speed, it'll just twitch to the right or left. It's just passed its MOT. Does anybody have any ideas? Steve

I am working on running a 2015 Leaf system outside the car, basically running the drive system and necessary electronics on a bench. I was asking some technicians around about the project and they are all claiming that I need a complete car or a front cut at least as all the parts of the Leaf...

Has anyone heard of problems with Nissan Connect EV and Services on a Leaf SV plus 2023? I got my Leaf on July 5. The Nissan Connect EV and Services app and SOS button did not work. Called the dealer who had sold me the car- through it was a problem with me accepting the "terms and...

If your electric vehicle is a couple of years old you may need new tires. What tires should you put on your EV? Are there tires made for EVs? How will it affect the range of your EV? In this video (and in the description of the video) I give you the information that I found, let you know which...

Guys, Has any of you who drives 2019 Leaf encountered problems with Eaton charging stations? Any time I plug mine into one of older Eaton station, the car starts charging for couple of blinks then the station shuts of and shows the red error icon (with no explanation obviously). Do you know...

My family lives in Vancouver and Halifax and we have a Leaf in both locations. In Halifax when buying a 2016 Leaf we followed the dealer's advise to have undercoating applied. When buying a 2018 Leaf in Vancouver, the salesperson there said that undercoating shouldn't be done to Leafs. I...

Here is a very good video that explains all the different charging levels and connectors. And at 40 seconds in is a part just for @insightman who keeps us straight on modes and in this case what’s a charger and what’s an EVSE. (Hint: You’ve never plugged a charger into your Clarity. Ever.) It...

I pick up my 2019 Leaf tomorrow; I've downloaded all the apps associated with the various networked charging stations (Chargepoint, MyEVRoute, EVduty etc) and PlugShare to help me find charging stations. Are there other useful apps that I should know about? I'm in Canada so not all of your...

While there is another thread on range loss, it is 6 pages long and is now spanning multiple issues, so I wanted to focus this thread on the 1st gen Leafs (Leaves?) still in service and to ask what owners plan to do going forward. Mine is a 2012 Leaf, seven years old, with 80,000 miles. I...

As I've mentioned elsewhere on this board, I just purchased a 2018 Leaf SV. So I'm starting this thread to share my experiences, field questions, and generally try to help anyone in the market for an EV who is considering a Leaf. Currently, we have almost no miles on Kobi. We bought it two...

Hi folks, I've seen messages like this on other threads but wondered if anyone had found a solution. Basically at any point the handbrake fault light can come up on the early electronic handbrake. Presumably this is why it was removed for later versions. I bought my 2011 Leaf second hand...

I bought a Prius in 2005 and had it converted to a Hymotion PHEV in 2009. Later I sold it to my granddaughter at a low price. I gave courses on hybrid cars for the local YMCA Open University. I bought a Highlander Hybrid in 2009 and tried to convert it to a PHEV in 2014 and failed. I traded it...
