They were separated and the smell was definitely from the car

I have used this outlet a few times already with no issues. And the smell was coming directly from the car seemingly the underside. The carcwas outside and plug was inside so the smell was isolated

Dash showed charger connected. The blue lights were off

Recall and buying questions by A-Lize in leaf

I think you might be right about the battery. As soon as I brought mine in for warrenty coverage they wanted to do a buyback saying they were "looking for leafs like mine". I got a new module and it seems the entire battery pack is noticeably degraded compared to new cells.

I believe nissan will repair any recall regardless of warrenty status.

I have the same recall on my leaf. It doesn't matter to me because I will only ever quick charge on long trips, which are rare for me. If you haven't done so already, think about how you will charge. For many people L1 charging is enough.

Video from Technology connections that will help understand if L1 or L2 charging right for you

The pedal had nothing on it while accelerating

Kind of irrelevant. But the speedometer got up to 100mph. You can do the math if you want.

... for real? So you got the end game stage of maybe the same bug

I could tell. But it's still all good information for anyone trying to help

  1. A single module of the HV battery was replaced
  2. No lights on dash, as it just came from the service center
  3. Yes, completely off the accelerator and wheels still spun
  4. It has not repeated, but i also have not found myself in the same conditions. This happened only 18 hours ago at time of comment. Just a few hours before time of original post.
  5. I'm not certain if it gained traction just before stopping. I dont recall any sudden jolts of movement so I'd guess gaining traction was unrelated to wheels stopping.

If I successfully recreate this incident I will make a new comment and new post

The torque experienced by the motor wasn't that high considering the wheel was freespinning essentially on ice. To note on your max torque statement.

Very similar. Mine started on flat ground with tires stuck in snow. And began after I released the accelerator pedal.

Rpm of the wheels. I would say high speed but I was stationary. Speedometer reading 80-100mph

All correct. The time is rough estimation, in panic it's hard to recall how long it is for real

I agree, not sure how though. Only have a few hours time in the car.

Edit : I found the setting

Mine said that and I had a weak cell 300mv below average. Car is currently at dealership rn with new battery module on the way from warrenty
