| Description of the problem | Hello! I have my 2017 nissan leaf sv with 30kwh battery in at nissan of troy, mainly due to two problems. This is a 2017 nissan leaf with 30kwh batte hello! I have my 2017 nissan leaf sv with 30kwh battery in at nissan of troy, mainly due to two problems. This is a 2017 nissan leaf with 30kwh battery with a dc-fc fast charge plug that's supposed to be able to charge the battery roughly 15x faster than 6. 6k level2/3 chargers. The key two problems are as follows: a. Dcfc fails to charge on 2017 nissan leaf and causes j1772 to be unable to charge it anymore subsequently getting a charge in a pinch leads to really needing a tow truck!! B. The range on the battery drops drastically on a regular day to day drive... The other day i left for a 4. 5mile trip with 17miles on gom and by time i drove 2 miles range went down to 11miles. Before i was 1/2 way low battery indicator went off and ~1. 5miles to home very low battery kicks in. - i believe the car gom always over estimates the range to what i'm able to drive. It can never drive up to the suggested range so i must have either a bad battery or a faulty battery management module of some sorts ??? |
