Please, if you review the Leaf again or do a follow up-the only reason to buy this car is for the V2X that works today. That would be great to hear about from your perspective. I don't think you've done a solar charging or blackout backup video yet.
I loved my truck until it broke down. I purchased a brand new. A month later it shut down a busy street. Towing truck came to try to tow it . But he did not tow it because you cant put on N position. I was sitting at a Chevy dealer for 2 months if you buy an over 80k headache you may buy it i was trying to return it OMG you will enjoy a hard time still fighting with General motor
Thanks. Your video is very helpful and informative and I learned a lot. For example, I had no idea that it uses that charger. I’m in the market for a new car and I was hoping to get an EV but as I’ve been doing research I’ve eliminated nearly every one for various reasons. The only one I hadn’t eliminated was the Leaf. Now I’ve eliminated that one too. 😿 Oh well. Maybe by the 2030s they’ll be an EV I like.
Nissan's biggest problem is that they're aiming at moving goalposts with the Leaf. Other EV makers have moved technology on greatly since the Leaf first hit the market, and Nissan hasn't kept up a programme of steadily evolving the Leaf. Still, they should find plenty of takers with existing Leaf owners who want to stick with the brand...
Started at the end of 2010, gave their lead away. SV has spicy zero to 60, would be interesting if it was well under 30k. Only about 100 lb less than the Chevy Bolt
Drove a 2016 Leaf SV (used) fro August 2019 until 2/14/2024. Loved the car, though the range was a limiting factor, and kept dropping. Traded it in on a 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric for under $30K. The Kona Electric has a 261 mile range, and showed a 376 mile range recently when I charged it to 100%. The Leaf was giving me between 5-5.2 miles per kW - the Kona is equally efficient, if not better; hes more interior room, and uses CCS1 for charging.
Qué bueno… otro video de Lorena para empezar el fin de semana. You already know that I loved my 2012 LEAF… and still miss some of its features. I'm not a fan of the newer "cut off" center arm rest, and front-to-back cupholders. I think that Nissan should still offer the LEAF, but… they need to give the battery TMS, and a CCS1 charging port. One good feature is that it has 1-pedal driving -which Nissan doesn't offer in its new Ariya. Bummer. The LEAF's charging speed is just too slow on roadtrips. Two weeks ago on a roadtrip, I was amazed that my i5 was always still pulling about 157kW when reaching 80% -and averaging only 14 minutes per fast charge! Wowza! LOVED seeing Calla: he fits the LEAF perfectly!
the price is way to high for what you get. charging is very, very limited and getting more limited each year. Needs to be in very cool area for the battery to stay healthy. Nissan fights you when your battery fails. I Have direct knowledge. Lastly, it limits you from working and going home. Any road trip would be a challenge
It's inexcusable that Nissan let such a popular car fall so far behind in technology. The cost would have been minimal so that's not a good reason. Money was spent on body panels and stuff but not on thermal management of the battery or updated charging port? Just dumb.
@@rp9674 I believe other automakers will start using long battery warranties to compete the way KIA did a long time ago with ICE power train warranties.
Cool video. I think it's great that you show all the vehicle data at the beginning of the video. But for that price you can get a Tesla Model 3, can't you? And it's better in every way, ..., and it comes from the USA!😉 Just today in a German podcast they talked about the Nissan, and also criticized the charging port.🤨 What I don't like is the one camera angle that you look past. I hope you don't mind me criticizing it. 😶 So your dog MUST definitely get more screen time in your videos!!❤ I'm not sure if the translation is correct. I hope. I wish you a nice weekend from Switzerland.
Well done, efficient, and thorough overview of the Leaf. 👍🏼 I see these on the road and in parking lots and have wondered about the car and what it’s like. Now I don’t have to wonder any more! Thanks! ☺️
Thanks for the new video! That's concerning they're still using ChaDeMo and air-cooled battery. As a short commute city driver if you have L1/2 charging at home, this would be fine, but if you're looking at driving 80+ miles a day, probably better to look elsewhere.
By no maintenance, you mean you haven't changed the oil or the break pads in the last 5 years? Also don't you think the higher cost of insurance would be set off by the gas savings? My insurance isn't so bad I pay 500 for 6 months for a house and two cars. One Tesla one gas. To be fair in cold weather regions you do should lubricate the breaks on a Tesla since you use it so little. But you don't have to do pads or rotors pretty much ever.
Just like with everything else in life, nothing is black and white. There are pros and cons with both types of vehicles. You just got to look at the big picture. 😊 Is a little scary and different at first. You'll forget to charge it a couple times, and it takes time to get used to the regenerative breaking but I'm a month or so you'll love it. I don't see a reason to ever go back to an international combustion engine car.
