A new owner's guide to the Nissan Leaf electric car. If you are a new owner of a used Nissan Leaf 24kWh or 30kWh electric car, this video will show you the basics on how to operate and use your new EV.
At 26 minutes long, it didn't end up being a "quick start guide", but it covers what you'll need to know to get the best from your new electric vehicle, such as starting, driving and charging. It will give you the basics and maybe save reading the owners manual.

The best Nissan Leaf video I have seen on RU-vid for beginners! First one to explain the dashboard properly. Well presented, easy to understand. Thanks

@Mr_Fahrenheit 4 года назад

Look at getting a leaf as my next car and this well presented video has taken a lot of the uncertainty out of going electric thank you for all the invaluable information, great video

@santinorider7536 3 года назад

We've owned a 2014 leaf for a year. Love it. We use economy around town but found the normal drive mode (not B or economy) has better economy at speed and a nicer drive. Looking to update to a used 2018 model soon.

@alanburton7068 3 года назад

just got 2015 Leaf this week and this video plus other videos of yours helped with this decision Thanks

@datahopa 4 года назад

Had a Leaf for 4 years, I find leaving the car in B mode all the time is the most efficient way of driving it but that is more a personal preference thing, also applying the brakes increases regen considerably, only when there isn't enough regen to slow the car does it apply the brakes. Apart from that the vid is spot on.

@GoGreenAutos 4 года назад

I've made the video for complete beginners and you tend to find that (with beginners) if left in B mode, you decelerate too much sometimes, which you've only got to accelerate back up which uses more energy. But as you say, once you're used to driving an EV, you do what is best for your driving style.

@datahopa 4 года назад

I think we all pretty well agree here but I would add, if you are careful you can control the amount or Regen better in B mode using the throttle. I average better miles per Kwh in B mode.

Well done!Well presented, informative and idea for basic understanding of this new technology.

@getoffamylan6844 4 года назад

I am planning on buying a Leaf tomorrow, this was a big help. Thanks!

@robertblood3722 4 года назад

I have only had a new Leaf for 3 months so it's got a few more extra things than this older model, but the way you explained things was great, give you 100%. Thanks and I have added your channel to my list, also clicked on the bell. Thanks from Bob in Kent England.

Thank you. I pick up my 2019 Tekna next week - first time I've had an electric car so this is very useful.

@pumpkinthing7482 3 года назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH I am the owner of a new leaf and the predicated range confused me so much. So much of my worries as been erased

Excellent video, the best I have seen on RU-vid for a beginners guide to the Leaf.

Thanks for this really useful video. We’re looking at getting a Nissan Leaf and you’ve helped us get familiar with its features before going on a test drive.

@johnkeepin7527 4 года назад

A well made video; better than most dealers produce for any make of car. Just a minor comment about the usefulness of built in charge timing: lots of us do have day and night rate supplies for other reasons, and even those who don’t (yet) could benefit from it with an EV car based at home. It might also be wise to shop around with some utility suppliers to optimise the running costs for charging one of these (assuming it’s all ‘bought in’ power, not locally generated solar PV).

@chesham123 3 года назад

Thank you, very useful

@Brian-om2hh 2 года назад

One has to wonder why Nissan themselves never thought of coming up with something like this 10 years ago? Supplying a DVD in the glovebox of a new Leaf might have been a good way to do it....

@johnwalker3534 3 года назад

Very good. Thank you

@jojopapillon7646 3 года назад

@altmuligmannen3086 3 года назад

Please explain why it's most efficient not to just keep it in B-mode all the time...?

@gavstar69 3 года назад

Very helpful! Thanks

@erqerqghjasfergiejkr 3 года назад

I just bought a leaf and eco mode I didn’t know that

@rossbransby 4 года назад

Great video - many thanks. My query is wtih the brake lights under regen. I have this car and I don't think the lights come on unless the brake pedel is pressed. I feel that they should as in B-mode the retardation can surprise following cars. I think there is a legal G force where brake lights have to come on but presume it is not exceeded by the LEAF. Thanks again. ps - It may be a 'first gen. EV' but I really do love this car!

@GoGreenAutos 2 года назад

Brake lights do come on, as they do with ALL EVs at a certain level of slowing down. The Leaf (24kWh & 30kWh) has very low level of regen, so the brake lights often wont come on, but of course the car isn't slowing down enough, so not an issue. Of course they've thought of this and manufacturer's have got it right.

@odditythreeD 3 года назад

I really really wish I could get that storage thing fitted in my leaf, the bose sub woofer is such a waste of space :(

@vampireechidna 4 года назад

My Leaf had creaking wing mirrors. It's a common problem on these leaf's. The way to cure them is simply. Adjust the wing mirror to reveal a gap between the mirror glass and housing. This must car side, so right would be moving the glass right. In the gap insert the WD40 oil spray extension (thin tube) spray at the top and bottom end. Clear any drop that may come down on the body work.

@ste105 3 года назад

When stopped at lights in a petrol car I would put on the hand brake and take it out of gear. What do you do in this? The P or the foot break and put in neutral?

@GoGreenAutos 3 года назад

Just hold it on the brakes. EVs don't have a gearbox, so you don't need to treat it like ICE vehicles.

@LindaMChristie 3 года назад

I hope you can help: I'm the second owner of my Leaf and when I'm driving along sometimes I hear a very loud "Miaow"! There must be a sub menu or a sub sub menu with a list of different options for sounds including 'cat'. I spent an hour sitting in my car this morning going through all the menus in front of me and in the sound system without success. It's so complicated.

@GoGreenAutos 3 года назад

Maybe it is the speed cameras notification??

@clayton4115 4 года назад

could you do one like for the ioniq 28kwh battery?

The most annoying about Nissan Leaf is the nag screen that you get each time your start your car. My next car for sure is not going to be a Nissan Leaf anymore.
