2022 Nissan Leaf Review | Behind the Wheel 

GOOD GOD WHERE'S THE TAMBUCHO? Caco is a drama queen for the win. Awesome review as always!

just bought it. really nice just a little awkward when you've driven naturally aspirated ice all your life.

We need an ardent promoter of clean renewable energy in the congress and senate to be able to push for electrification laws in motor vehicles. Incentives to those who would invest on charging infrastructure for all types of ports would be a great start. Provide tax breaks as well for car companies selling EVs.

that is one heck of a presentation.. never fail to amaze us with your delivery :) love the ending

It would be nice if fully-electric vehicles can get tax breaks or tax exemptions to make them cheaper and become adapted faster locally. As well as better infrastructure support, meaning more charging stations.

20:00 I just received news that the retail for this is about 1.9 million starting April 2023.

Atm for EVs you'd be better off having your own fast charger installed at home. Also for someone who regularly travels to a city 300kms away the range of the leaf is cutting it close. This is great for short rides though 😍

One of a problem i see here is the charging location. Some ev's have their charging ports in the front which is the most common areas for minor accidents. Just imagine getting in a "managable" accident and instead of just having the front bumper repaired, but as well as its charging port.

Yes we would like an EV but most of them are expensive than the traditional vehicle.

Can you also do a review of the BYD Dolphin and maybe a comparo of these 2 EVs. Great review as always.

You can buy a J1772 Type 1 to Type 2 adaptor to solve the issue of adaptor compatibility although it’s a bummer to have this kind of jumble of standard. I really hope that the government invest heavily and promote EV in the PH.

2.7 million 🤔 while Chery Arrizo EV is just 1.9 million pesos with a better interior, sunroof, and slightly more range 310 km vs 350 km

Love watching sir caco doing the review everytime. Awesome. 😁

I assume this Leaf is an X variant (16" alloys), I hope you can try the G variant too, it has better features like 17" alloys, and Pro-Pilot. Soon, PH roads will have more EVs to come, especially that Nissan Ariya. Thank you for this upload.

This is more expensive than the Tesla Model Y (at least here in Hong Kong) but looking forward to PH's electrification!

Some corrections about him saying that the chargers are proprietary to Nissan: the leaf that his reviewing uses the SAE J1772 electrical connection for level 1 (low power from a household wall outlet) and level 2 (similar to an electric dryer) charging which is a standard for most North American EVs and Japan, while the other one is called a Chademo for level 3 DC fast charging that was developed in Japan, but not as widespread globally.

Would be nice if manufacturers could use a standard charging port... Most local malls provide CCS2

I love EVs, but the features you get for the price is a real deal breaker for me. The price which is close to 50k USD could buy you a Tesla Model 3 in the US (I know that cars are much more expensive here in the Philippines, but this is too much).

Nice to see, again, mr caco in full body shot with onitsuka sneakers.. onitsuka bekenemen😉

It is nice to get this car. The only downside i would say is the tech is still young for EVs. Better models will come in 5-10 yrs. Better wait for it.

And the battery module's warranty? That's one concern of potential buyers... if the time comes that the module needs replacement (because that's consumable) how much does it cost?

First changes for the Leaf: 1. Aftermarket rims 2. A Konoha decal on the sides (personal preference, hehehe!)

Nissan should include a type 1 to type 2 adapter with the purchase

how about rush hour heavy traffic, are there any experience of anxiety that you will run out of battery juice

Nice review as always caco😄👍

Technically that leaf is more hazardous to the environment than conventional gas vehicles, specifically here in the philippines, because the leaf uses coal to charge its batteries so it's a lot dirtier.

I'm am 100% sure that the 300Km is measured on flat roads without incline. It will be a whole lot shorter if your trip has inclines. Also is the Charging port proprietary to Nissan? I was curious as to why they put the type A instead of the European one specifically here in the PH? I'm assuming the type A is what's being used in Japan?

The e-pedal probably activates the regenerative braking so it helps improve range. I'm not sure about it though. By now there will be owners who can comment on this. I'm interested in getting one do would like to know too.

how much is the insurance premium of this car?

Beautiful car and saves

serious question, why is it hard to have a single standard for these plugs and sockets?

Yung coding exemption palang sobrang laking bagay na by 2030 sakto kung tanggalin nila yung exemption malamang bibili ka narin ng bagong sasakyan at di mo na kailangan ng iba pang sasakyan para sa araw na coding ka bonus nalang yung isang kotse lang kailangan mo ipark at murang tank.

Ang galing naman pala ng nissan, nag market sa pinas ng leaf kahit walang charging stations. Epic move by a big brand

Check EVIDA Law RA 11697 and its IRR which provides import tax exemption on Electric Vehicles.

the EV Plug standard should be set in our local ev law

I still dont understand why Nissan PH did not request the Leafs for a type 2 AC charger? Our Leaf in Indonesia got the type 2 AC charging beside the chademo port.

The Nissan Leaf alone since it's launched in 2012 has the highest number of sold out EV's in the world, do you know why? Co'z the price was reasonable. I think the Philippine market is not ready yet as it's so EXPENSIVE plus the scarcity of charging points. Why expensive? Based on my computation, let say I drove my gasoline engine car up to 100,000 km in 5 years time with an ave.of 13 kpl (in both traffic and highway) with an ave. price of 75 php/ltr (with inflations & fluctuations) During that time, I fueld my tank with 7692.3 ltrs x 75 php = 576,923 pesos. Compared to the Leaf you will only spend 1/4 on that amount using electric fuel. In that say, I do need to run for 200K to 250K kilometers to match my savings on electric fuel compared to when buying cheaper gasoline engine top of the line Civic or Altis. Hayss,, I don't even know what to say. I thought this thing is only around 1.5 to 2M price range. It is even more expensive compared to the top of line mid-sized SUV'S in the market! The comfort level and cargo capacity is incomparable compared to this cute little thing.😂 #justsayingpeace

It's true no change oil but replacing the battery is the main issue. Like any battery it has a life span average of two years. Your savings in fuel and oil won't be enough to cover the cost of the battery.

Sana may EV na trucks like the Toyota Hi Lux, Ford Ranger, and many more.

Waiting for the Hyundai Creta review.

I think that WM W5 is much more better that leaf interms of km range and the comfortability of driving and it only cost 500+ for full charge

300KM on a single charge is a stretch. You mean more like 200KM realistically?

Me, just looking at the window, looking at Lamborghini, Porsche, and I think Aston Martin logos? Yeah, as a probinsyano, I'm good.

lithium ho ba ung battery nyan?kung oo, panu pag nagka aksidente at na expose sa environment yung lithium?sa pagkaka alam ko is flammable yung lithium pag na expose sa outside environment. hindi ba sasabog yan?

Importation tax for the leaf and other EVs should at least be lesser than the conventional ICE. Else, it will remain relatively expensive. And of course the infrastructure for charging stations nationwide.

Torque is 320Nm, not 350Nm...or rather I wonder that Nissan is not producing different models to Asia than to Europe. My car's catalogue says 320Nm and 110kW - 150 HP. So, I think it is wrong data in video...but correct me if I am wrong

Nissan is stopping production of the Leaf? I think the Aria will replace the Leaf

as always, excellent review Sir

EVs are great, but for gas and diesel drivers, they could still be deceiving. I think we have to take things like this moderately.

there are articles that it is not recommended using an extension cord for EVs, much more to a chain of extension cords. As much as possible direct to the outlet. Not sure about the Leaf

Wow...dream car!!! Awesome review too

How much will your electric bill bump up 2 wen u start using dis car or will it not cost a thing or add extra cash on to yor bill

Caco, damn man. Your shoes are lovely!

20:57 kasama ba Makati dun? Hehe Also wala talagang maintenance every 5k or 10k?

It will take 10 years after your purchase of EV before you can actually reap the benifits. Factoring in the car cost and baterry replacement, its about 2.2M more expensive than a 1.3M petrol car. Thats 920+ full tanks of gas!

Love the Balikbayan boxes as an example haha

sana bumaba ang presyo ng mga 1.5m or 2m man lang para umabot sa budget.

At almost 2.8M, I really doubt if the Leaf will take off in Philippine market. Try comparing it to a similar class automobile like the Honda Civic V Turbo CVT, which cost around 1.6M pesos. The difference is 1.2M pesos. I bet that you won't be able to consume all of that 1.2M in the next 7 years (approx 171K a year) buying gas, and providing maintenance for the Civic. Those who can afford to buy a Nissan Leaf I'm sure will have another car. And that another car will not be electric.

Best Review🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Nice Review Sir Caco.

My dream daily car…still hoping that the price goes down.

Sir Caco, please make a review din po ng BYD dolphin pls🙏🙏

The sound the hood makes when closing is horrendous. Like an American car from the 70's. Wow.

The zero emission thing about electric vehicles is misleading. You still emit carbon through energy plants (which still use fossil fuels). You're just transferring where your emission goes.

Government needs to find a way to reduce prices of EVs & build the necessary infras

Ask ko lang anong height nyo po? My mind is confused. The car looks big.

Looking forward for BYD

With the new tax incentive (removal of 30% D&T), how much will it cost? Php1.958M?

Is the A/C cool?

Kayo po ata ung naka Nissan Leaf sa may Taguig Gate 3 going to Mckinley hill kanina

BYD Dolphin naman next

Is it possible for BYD dolphin review?

can u have the fast charger for the leaf installed in ur house?

Idol whare is the review of the changan cs55 plus 😁

We have not even embraced hybrid vehicles completely, what more full blown EV. The Philippines just doesn’t have the infrastructure yet.

4:55 “Unlike apple” LOL😂😂😂

Is this a review or an advertisement? A new Leaf is efficient, but battery and machine efficiency degrade over time. Your review lacks the maintenance aspects of the vehicle especially with its battery and engine component (cost to service and cost to repair). Has anyone tried to drive an EV on gutter deep flood (take note we are a flood prone country)?

I wish ev and hybrid is tax free or less taxes

It will be a matter of time that Nissan would have to sell or bundle a dongle that would enable the Leaf to use those EV chargers in the mall. Else they have to sell the one meant for the European market that uses the Mennekes connector.

the best 😊❤️

Govt should waive tax if buying an EV

Leaf VS Kicks?

is it just me or is the audio too low on this vid?

Go green! Yes go green, and the source of ur green is burning coal🤣

By the time you need to replace the battery in 5 to 8 years, it will set you back 300k ++ for the cost. Tree hugger? Not really.

After Nissan slashed P800,000 from its sticker price, this baby is sooo irresistible at this time. must.. resist.. buying.. haha

So the Kicks is also exempted from number coding?

That is not a charger; that is an extension cord. An apple does give you one of those.

I drive a model 3. Never going back to ice cars

Try it on uphill stop and go scenario please

What do you call the cover inside the trunk again?

Taena pag naisip ng meralco na " ah puro na EV pwes magtataas ulit ako. Next week 10 pesos agad " 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now 2023 this EV car price 1.998m...

Hybrid > EV Our country isn't ready for EV

charger provided to every leaf unlike apple! haha

LOL. It will be much cheaper to ship my leaf from the us to manila than to purchase it here in the PH.

A 64kwh price for a 30kwh battery :(

Do BYD Dolphin

Are hybrids/mild hybrids also coding exempt?

I wonder how much PMS cost for this car.
