Nissan LEAFs bricked after plugging into charging station — via drivingdotca InfoForDrivers ElectricVehicles Nissan
The vehicles were towed to a local dealer for service, where at least one of the owners was presented with a $7,000 repair bill. Apparently, the charging session damaged a power module in the vehicle, causing other components to spaz out and brick the car. Without specific details on the repair it is difficult to gauge the accuracy of that diagnosis but it’s worth noting that a Nissan LEAF power delivery module is listed in the official Nissan parts catalog at a suggested retail price of $2,231.
When reached by local media, BC Hydro acknowledged the incident and said they hadn’t seen this issue at any of their other stations. They also mentioned that only Nissan LEAF drivers seemed to have an issue at this station, with other electric vehicles being able to charge with no problems. Alert readers will recall the LEAF is one of the few EVs on sale in Canada with a CHAdeMO connector instead of a CCS Combo connector.
reveals some Electrify America chargers have also allegedly fried power modules in LEAFs south of the border. As for the driver in Horseshoe Bay, they are hoping to hash out some agreement with BC Hydro to help cover costs.Share this article in your social network
