Where are the LEAF owners at?

Jaap Burger@Aminorjourney all the leafs are brown, and the sky is grey

On a winter’s day
Leaf owners will be safe and warm
(as these cars can actually do V2H today)
rifter@Aminorjourney 🙄 Equitable access is such a hard concept for the average commenter.
Virr starved a brainslug!@Aminorjourney
Chademo demise is unsurprising, the writing has been on the wall before NACS.
EA announced in 2022 that they were not deploying any new Chademo plugs.
That isn't to make light of the fact it sucks for anyone with a Chademo car. Just one more example of tech "progress" not caring about leaving some behind.
Stephen Cerruti@Aminorjourney every CHAdeMO connector installed is one less J3400 or CCS connector that could have been installed. In a world where we still have to wait in line to charge that is important.
Because of relatively lower range and longer charging times Leafs (Leaves?) are less likely to be road tripped and so the ports are likely to be less utilized. At what's point does it make sense to simplify everything by dropping support especially since we believe that CCS and J3400 will share software?
@scerruti That’s not actually true. We’ve had multi outlet stalls for years. And cars that do need the connector aren’t relatively low value items like cellphones that get changed every two years
We’ve got to stop being so wasteful.
@Aminorjourney I was trying to express not that with is true but why people have these attitudes towards CHAdeMO. We would need to see utilization numbers from the charging networks to make reasoned conclusions.
The solution for CHAdeMO vehicles to overcome charging scarcity may be OEM or third party vehicle modifications. But, https://twitter.com/NissanUSA/status/1562528547952275461

“@Richard83519554 Nissan does not have future plans to offer a conversion from CHAdeMO to CCS for our existing LEAF customers. CHAdeMO quick-charge stations are still being installed to match the demand for these vehicles, and all Nissan EV-certified dealers will be required to have both chargers.”
Axe Akane@Aminorjourney leaf owner checking in. My wife bought a 2015 leave many years ago used and we paid it off a couple of years ago. It's been a pretty solid car in one of the cheapest cars have ever driven as far as maintenance and cost per mile. No regrets although the range is fairly short - about 30 mile range each way. Despite that, we've put about 40,000 mi on the car and my wife use it for daily commuting as well as driving our son around.
@Aminorjourney we are fine with having no Chatham on the future. NACS is the future, and they have any CS2 CCS adapters so older non Tesla EVs should be fine.
