‘Shockingly bad’: Nissan Leaf drivers voice anger over app shutdown

Carmaker's decision to drop NissanConnect EV app on relatively recent cars fuels warnings from experts

Owners of some Nissan Leaf electric vehicles are angry after the carmaker announced it would shut down an app that lets them remotely control battery charging and other functions.

Drivers of Leaf cars made before May 2019 and the e-NV200 van (produced until 2022) have been told that the NissanConnect EV app linked to their vehicles will cease operation" from 30 March. This means they will lose remote services, including turning on the heating, and some map features.
