Do you ship kis to the USA ? This looks like a great project for me and my three sons. We could buy an old Leaf, replace with a larger battery pack and add CCS charging.
Hi Dala! I found you through Transport Evolved’s channel. Thank you so much for making this available to all of us! I hope this gives you the freedom and flexibility that you’re searching for and that any financial loss is made up by a flood of new support from people like me who have found you through this generosity! Thanks for making the world a better place! Your videos are awesome and so helpful!
Thank you for doing this! Making source code like this available makes life so much easier if you run into problems, or you're running some strange edge-case configuration that wasn't anticipated in the code. I haven't personally used a CAN-bridge in a Leaf, but I've spent a *lot* of time reverse engineering similar things, where source code availability would have saved days of work.
@@DalasEVRepair You're absolutely right! Over here on O'ahu, the Leaf and the i-MiEV were popular back in 2012. Sadly, I don't personally know any of the drivers of these cars. It would be interesting to find out what they think of their experiences on O'ahu. The longest trip one can take on this island (without turning around and driving back the way one came...) is about 180km. It is a route that goes around the eastern and central part of this island. (The route around the western and central part of O'ahu is blocked by a nature preserve and bird santuary). In 1978, the bicycling portion of the very first Ironman competition we had here was on this central and eastern route. I've ridden this route quite a number of times myself at a very slow, non-racing pace. I haven't owned or driven a car in 10 years, so that tells you something about this island. I wish you all the best in the fight against questionable engineering by the big tech companies. Aloha, my friend.
Dala this is your contribution to the world that will help many fellow leaf owners and ev enthusiasts continue to use their cars and help climate change in the process. It is not a mistake.
I know the can bridge install is "easy" but have you made a video showing the actual install for the newer model in the side of the dash or down at the kick plate near the OBD2 port? While I am comfortable doing this, I am the type of person who likes to "see" it done. I would even take diagrams at this point. Thanks a ton Dala!!!
Looks like Nissan HQ and the local Total Nissan stealership (WA) are no longer interested in replacing batteries, so local entrepeneurs, like Daniel at the EV Shop in Balcatta will do it, but you have to order the batt from AUG Energy (Shenzhen) yourself and they deliver door-to-door. And Dala is really the greatest!
Good call. Home diy EV repair and battery management is very much a community effort. Remember you didn't invent it in a vacuum even if your design is unique. Your worst financial decision was to buy a broken Leaf battery pack.
I just bought a 2021 Leaf S Plus yesterday and was already starting to worry about my battery since I plan on driving the car for 6+ years. Seeing this video has made me feel huge relief. I thank you for everything you have done for the EV / Leaf community. I wish you the best
I can relate to that. Tried a few closed source projects and then I'm the only one who can help and fix. Now that it's open source you have to make sure that people stop contacting you privately - guess how I know 😉
@@pashko90 yes, attaching a price tag to time helps making people think twice whether they can't just find the info on the internet for free 🙂 and those who decide to pay are very focused and help financial existence of creators
Dala, thanksfor this extremely valuable contribution to the EV community! And frankly I think this decision will be also beneficial in financial terms as it gives your new projects more visibility. Carry on!
I am very respectful for your decision to take this steps. Now I think you should rest a bit, fill up your own personal batteries and then jump right into the next project. I propose the Huawei Sun2000 KTL-M1 Inverter interface to accept, charge and discharge the Leaf battery?
Legend! Thanks for doing this. I wonder if it will impact demand and price of the used packs? My brother in law's 24kWh is pretty low range now and would seriously benefit from a 40 or 62 :-)
Wow, this is big news and very generous of you! I recall a number of unique features of your CAN-bridge firnware (for example, BatterySaver). I'm wondering - would it be worthwhile to install a CAN-bridge, without doing a pack upgrade, just to be able to take advantage of some of your CAN-bridge features? Joined Patreon and sponsored you, hope that helps out a bit. Your altruistic dedication to developing battery upgrade options for the LEAF is both commendable and rare - much appreciated! I don't know that I'll ever find a 40 kwh pack near Vancouver Canada, but I'm happy to support you regardless.
Hi Dala. Your really instructive videos have finally pushed me to go and buy a 2015 24kW Leaf. Although it has 11 bars and gives me 80 miles range, it would be nice to plan for the future. Can you buy the canbus kit, program it and fit to the existing car before buying a 30 Kw battery to upgrade? It seams logical to fit the kit and test it before going through demounting the old battery and installing a replacement and then finding problems.
⚡♥ Thanks for doing what you do in helping support the EV community. I don't own or drive a LEAF, but really appreciate people like you, that help others live a happy life with less stress. Either by being able to maintain their EV, or by being add energy storage to their solar system.
I am getting ready to purchase my first leaf. A 2011 with 38k miles on it. Battery health is typical for the age but I assume I may be upgrading the battery some day. Do you have a video where you go through all of the steps to upgrade to a better battery? Thanks and have a great day.
Hi Dala! Thank you for open sourcing your projects! I'm very excited about your CCS conversion! I'm a software engineer myself, but I've not spent much time building ICs and controllers outside of Raspberry Pi & Arduino. I'm personally interested in replacing the Leaf pack with my own LFP cells and BMS. How much effort do you think it would take to accomplish building such a bridge? I would prefer to do this vs adding my own range extending pack in parallel and consuming internal volume and extra weight. Maybe we could work together and open source the project?
Dala: I am with you on developing things for the world because the world needs these things. Your community seems to be my kind of people. My own projects, to be published in the public domain before the end of the summer of '23, might appeal to your community. First is a MPPT controller for PV-->DHW, with minimum parts count, made on a single-sided circuit board. The companion project, which runs on the same 180-240 VDC PV array is a boost-mode DC-DC converter for charging EVs directly from the PV array. No conversion to AC is needed to charge an EV. Both are operated by a Arduino Uno. One or the other uses all the PV power, based on user-set priorities and whether one's EV is plugged in. Schematics, drawings for mechanical parts and source code will all be available for free before this summer ends. More people than just me need to be using cheap PV to power our world.
Hello! Huge hat tip to you for doing this! I only just learned yesterday about all the DIY stuff people are doing with leafs, so I am really not clear what the parameters/limitations are of different solutions. So I am wondering, can this work with a custom battery pack made from brand new cells, and which doesn't necessarily conform to the 24/30/40/62kwh capacities? What if that bespoke solution uses LiFePO, which operates at different voltage to the car's native NMC chemistry (no, I'm not thinking of using both chemistries together)? Will the code you provide allow the vehicle to "adapt" to this difference, or is NMC pretty much baked in?
Thank you very much. How canbridge will automatically detect battery ah. I'm already connected this bridge to the my car, discharge and charge battery but car don't see any changes, like without. what i doing wrong. i did upgrade my 2012 24kw old battery to 114ah catl. Maybe need change configuration code. Thank you for your patience and help thousands of people.
My best financial decision was buying a 2014 Nissan Leaf. It had battery issues a week out of warranty and after over a year of back and forth Nissan did the right thing and bought the car back from us under the Texas Lemon law for the price we paid. I wanted another fun car to drive so bought a manual Mazda MX-5 ND2 RF. This is the way. No reason to be chauffeuring a heavy battery around and all the inconvenience it entails.
I was wondering if I replace all 48 modules in a 1st gen 24k battery, is there anything special I need to do to the modules before I hook them up? Thanx, love your content btw
I've subscribed to you because your just a great guy . I love my leaf and you are giving these cars a new lease of life. Wish I had paid you to upgrade mine . I could have come on a road trip from Scotland it would be so great . If you ever come here you are welcome to stay at the lookoutleaf :)
Thank you for this! I've got a Gen1 Leaf that I'll be hunting for a replacement pack for, for sure - my main concern has been that you or other sources for this sort of converter (can bridge) would be long done before I get around to it. :)
this is how 3d printers got affordable, the guy that reverse engineered the really expensive $100k 3d printers made his project open source. Now you can buy a 3d printer for $99. Someday we'll look back at this project and think "imagine if we were still at the mercy of dealerships to replace our batteries"
Hello… I agree. You are a true gentleman . Quick question. Can I buy an early Leaf (2012 24Kwh) and modify it to do 2 way charging? I have a barn that I can put PV panels on and then was hoping to use the Leaf as an inexpensive mobile battery pack and drive it the 150m to the house….! Is this something that at least in principle is acheivable…. Regs Rupert
AWESOME! Now I just wished someone could publish what's required to put the 94Ah battery in a 60Ah BMW i3 BEV! I have the battery (no collision lockout), but no clue how to make it work in my car. (located in the US)
@@DalasEVRepair Are you serious?? And the car will be able to use the full capacity? I had so many people trying to tell me it needs coding or the car won't recognize it because of VIN coding and such. My i3 motor bearings went bad, and it's been sitting in my garage since February, waiting for a motor replacement... and I finally found one from a 2018 with under 100 miles on it! I considered swapping to the 2018 EME (inverter) to get the "S" model capability, but that would have also required the KLE charger from the 2018, and I know that would entail some coding/programming... so I'll just replace the motor. I got the battery for a steal... I don't think they knew what it was worth. The i3 Rex that the battery came out of was in a minor rear-end accident, 57k miles, but had no airbags deployed... so I'm sure hoping it's not locked. It had heated seats like mine does... supposedly that matters. (is there some external difference?) If this works out, I'll probably endeavor to use the old 22kWh pack for home backup use.. though I might try to get a warranty claim on it first, before doing the battery swap....... hmmm...... I know I'll have to get the HVAC discharged, and then recharged when I swap the battery, but that should be worth it!
@@DalasEVRepair Has this been verified? Also, have you heard of any way to test the 94Ah pack to make sure it's not locked from an accident? As mentioned, the donor had been hit in the rear bumper, but no airbags were deployed (which is why I'm assuming the battery is still "alive"). The impact damaged some of the drivetrain electronics, which kept the car from driving though.
@@DalasEVRepair ok thanks will try the 2port can bridge and see if there are any issues the main issue I had with the 3port can bridge was the timer for charging didn't work
Dala, this may be a stupid question but what do you thibk it would take to use tesla cells in a nissan leaf? Ironically, it's easier to find used tesla cells in the states than finding leaf cells that arent severely degraded.

Will the code you provide allow the vehicle to "adapt" to this difference, or is NMC pretty much baked in?

Does it increace the driving range without any swap or upgrade to the battery , my car is leaf 2019 with 40kw battery
No this is only for battery upgrades, nothing else!
