[EVDL] 2020 Nissan Leaf SL+

[AL SWACKHAMMER via EV]

Good afternoon folks.  Have a question for you.  Having a 2020 Leaf SL+ 
delivered by Carvana.  Looks like a driver left it on while traveling from IL.  
subsequently draining both the traction battery and the house battery.  They 
replaced the house battery and was able to charge HV battery.  But the dash 
cluster did not boot up.  Has anyone had this happen or know of a reset 
process?  Thanks in advance.

Re: [EVDL] Azure DMOC445 Programming

[AL SWACKHAMMER via EV]

I had a DMOC445 in the Electric Auto Union.  I remember Beth Silverman sending 
me the firmware on line.  Is it possible to copy another DMOC445 programing?

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Ford 76kWh WORK XL(StreetScooter) e-van> DHL.de-only

[AL SWACKHAMMER via EV]

One can only hope that StreetScooter doesn't meet the same demise as Azure 
Dynamics did for getting involved with Ford.
