Nissan Leaf

This is the Nissan Leaf Wiki, the first (and only) vehicle wiki of Car Hacking Wiki. It focuses on the technical internals of the Nissan Leaf. Expect to find details about the components and subsystems that make up the Leaf, electrical, electronic and data specifications, information on known modifications and projects, etc.

Car Hacking Wiki is designed to be a resource that goes into as much depth as possible about cars, their components, their firmware, etc. It starts with the Nissan Leaf, with the dream of growing into a family of wikis covering many different vehicles.
