    Not able to set value charge

    This is a known problem. I am tried it over and over again. I have only found two things that work (1) Full restore of your car's sync system. Keep in mind that this only works for the initial set of the value charge times. To change them afterwards still doesn't work. (2) Use the the website...

    FFE not obeying Juicebox EVSE charge timer.

    The past few weeks my 2017 FFE has not be reliably obeying my Juicebox charge timer. First let my start by saying that I know the FFE is at fault and not the juicebox because I also own a Leaf and have been using the same procedure with the Leaf and testing it with the Leaf working fine...

    Lease a new 2018 FFE vs purchase a used 2014 FFE

    Good price for used 2017 FFE?

    I found a price around $17K post tax credits on a 2017 FFE (with leather) in CA. I wound up leasing cause that was cheaper with the buyout. Lease wound up being about $9K in total payments and fees (15k miles/year). Buyout at lease end is $8k+tax. Factor in the CA $2500 rebate and $500 PG&E and...

    Good price for used 2017 FFE?

    I think you don't understand the tax credit very well. You said you wouldn't have the tax liability to realize it in 2017, but that you would "adjust your withholding in 2018" You either owe $7500 in federal taxes (and thus will benefit from the full credit) or you don't. What you withhold has...

    Study on buying a used Electric

    These studies on used EVs seem to always ignore the impact of tax incentives on the resale price. When you factor in that depending on where you live, you could see anywhere from a $7500-$14000 reductions the second you drive off a lot, of course the resale will take a hit when the second owner...

    Will a stroller fit?

    This was one of my criteria as well. We have a 2017 FFE that we just got about a month ago. I went to the dealer with our stroller just to double check. The battery hump in the back does impede storage quite a bit and is a little annoying. Initially I was putting the stroller in fine but had...

    FFE buying noob, need help

    it was the best I could do. Trusts me. I tried very hard and shopped e-Golf, Bolt, etc... Keep in mind that yours is a 2015 and doesn't have the larger pack. There may have been bigger incentives to move those and lower costs to manufacturing them. The same was true with the Leaf when they moved...

    Max kWh on new 2017 pack?

    Just ran mine using the Forscan app and here's what I got. I think I was actually at 99% for some reason. Probably cause the car had been sitting at 100% charge for about 10 hours and I had pulled it out of the garage and moved it around for us to charge our Leaf... Anyways, found how to get...

    FFE buying noob, need help

    I don't think you can find them that low. Well maybe close. When I was shopping for mine a few weeks ago, I literally called 20+ dealers within a 200 mi radius, and couldn't get that low on a purchase. Granted I was looking for the leather interior ($1080 extra), but the best I could do was get...

    FFE buying noob, need help

    Just curious why you aren't considering new? I just leased a 2017 FFE (w/leather) for the below price. $270/mo, 36mo lease, 15k mi/year, $0 drive off. $9720 (in CA I get a $2500 rebate as well) = $7220 My residual buyout is $8080 if I chose to purchase it at the end of the lease. There will be...

    Max kWh on new 2017 pack?

    Hey everyone. I just got an FFE 2017 on a lease (15k/year). I downloaded for scan lite and want to keep tabs on my battery over the coming years. I'm a leaf owner as well and consider myself quite experienced in measuring battery degradation and such. My objective is to simply determine how my...

    Value Charge and Go Time Seems Broken

    Hey Everyone. I got it to work. I had to do a workaround but it works. Here's what I did. 1. I rebooted the sync with a master reset. 2. I set all value times to 1AM - 7AM (as suggested to avoid the midnight issue) 3. Plugged in and noticed that it kicked on for like 5 minutes, then it shut...

    Optimizing battery life

    I'm new to FFE but have analyzed the heck out of the pack in our Leaf and I do doubt that there's 10% headspace in the FFE batter above a full charge. There may be 10% total, but some of that would be reserved on the bottom as well as the top. The Leaf has about 4% on top and about 3% on the...

    Value Charge and Go Time Seems Broken

    New FFE owner here. I've read a few posts about this topic and I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it works (or is supposed to) but I still think it is problematic. Here's my experience with the Value Charge and the issues I'm having. I tried to set it to my low electrical rates...

    FFE Leases in SoCal?

    Not in SoCal, but I just leased a 2017 with Leather interior in NorCal for $272 mo with $0 drive off taxes, 36 mo lease, 15k Miles/yr, and $8080 residual buyout. I was shopping multiple cars at multiple dealers and this was by far the best deal I found. My total payments will be $9800 (less...

    Specifics about the TMS system?

    Can anyone shed some light on the specifics of the TMS system on the FFE? I just got a 2017 FFE and am a long time Leaf owner, so I know a bit about EVs, but wanted to know some more detail about the TMS system. Some specific questions are listed below. 1. I know the FFE has one, but I'm not...
