Urgh, what is it with these little door switches in EVs? There must be a better way.

I've now heard of these problems in Nissan Leafs, Tesla Roadsters, Twizzies, Volt/Amperas, and Tesla Model S's. My old mini even had the problem.

:-)

But, seriously, it seems that 12V battery failures in EVs are a cause of so many problems. I've literally read/heard/seen more than 50 of these, across so many models of EV, but have still to read/hear/see a main traction battery failure,

Glad it wasn't anything worse.

Regards, Mark

Hi,

Car is back.
It is NOT the 12V Battery. Is is a broken driver door switch. It has a short circuit. They think this drains the battery.
Now waiting for the spare part. But in the meantime i can drive. Only the drive door knob doesn't work. Outside switch to look and unlook when FOB is near.

Hope it gets fixed quickly for you.
