BTW, price on Ebay is typically below $10 so I think every Leaf owner should have one ;-)

Peri, Since the Leaf has 2 CAN buses on its OBD connector and you need to access both for LeafSpy to work, try to find an older revision adapter. If it mentions that it is an ELM327 revision 1.5 (not the cost-reduced rev 2) then you are pretty sure it will work. I have both Bleutooth and WiFi ELM327 adapters. The drawback of the WiFi version is that it consumes more power and is powered 24/7 so after not using the Leaf a few days, the aux battery is dead. Just some experience from using various combinations. Success!

Yes, it would be useful to have a way to meter gids. Maybe I really have better than 40 mile range possible. However, I'm suspicious there is something else wrong, besides battery capacity. Like regen not working properly, although I realize that probably won't add much more than 5% back to the battery. Maybe 10% on aggressive conditions. Note, this is in winter. Although mild compared to some regions, the battery was exposed to roughly 40F air. And the heat was on, but only set at 60. I think the defrost was off most of the time, but can't remember any more. I remember looking at the energy info panel. It was about .25kw for the car's electronics and about .75 to 1 kw for the climate system. So, probably not too much effect on the overall range. (The guess meter showed a difference of 3 miles, I think.) So is battery temperature probably the biggest culprit? I'll look for an OBDII bluetooth adapter.
