Our forum is now live! This space is built for anyone working with Nissan Leaf components, EV conversions, custom vehicle builds or design concepts. You can share full builds, ask technical questions, document progress, post design ideas, compare parts, and discuss solutions. We will also provide customer support directly on the forum. Over time we will add more features, if there is something we missed let us know.

@isak do you have experience with using new CATL or CALB cells with the Leaf BMS? Prices are now at the point where it is starting to make sense to purchase new modules. My old 24kwh pack only has around 110 km range. In Australia there are not many options for 62 kwh batteries in crashed Leaf.

Hi team, Does anyone know if the Radiator fan comes on when charging either using Chademo or Type 2 charging. I have currently wired it up to fused busbar that only gets power when the ignition is switched on and works when driving, but not sure about charging, should i wire it to an always on power source?

Hi, I would appreciate having a quick checklist-style guide for analysing possible malfunctions or error states. After reviewing the commonly available Leaf DBC files, it’s clear that there are many signals to examine. Unfortunately, not all of them are present, since the Resolve controller acts as the VCU and orchestrates much of the system. I’m particularly interested in identifying reliable CAN bus signals that indicate the pre‑charge state, main contactor states, and overall vehicle state (off / on / charging). If possible, gear status (N / R / D) would also be very useful. It would be extremely helpful to have a Resolve‑EV‑specific DBC file containing only the relevant messages and signals. This would greatly simplify troubleshooting and diagnostic work. Being able to determine the vehicle’s on/off/charging state via CAN messages would also make it much easier to integrate additional components such as heaters, A/C compressors, and other auxiliary systems.
