replyModern aftermarket remote start systems work with both ICE and EVs alike. Take a look at Compustar. You can remote start your Leaf with a key fob from 1/2 mile away, no telemetry, connectivity, or silly app needed.
There's also OPVS, which supposedly can be self-hosted (I don't know how good their product is; I'm content with 3G-only 2012 Leaf being permanently offline).
replyThat is crazy.
5 years and they are already shutting down the servers?
They should be forced to open up the API when they shut it down.
Running a replica yourself should be pretty doable.
replyHow are you dealing with the chademo only charger thing?
replyNot sure what you mean, maybe it depends on region. I am in EU and have Type 2 and CHAdeMO connectors. I only charge at home and travel to go to work and back, so barely ever use CHAdeMO. I agree, though, that I don't and wouldn't travel long distances with this car.
replyIf you buy a ChaDeMo Leaf you do so knowing that it will likely never go more than a hundred miles from home.
