Caroline is a hero in the Leaf community with her many trips across America. What I tell people about our Leaf cross country road trips is that it is like flying a small plane. You can pretty much go anywhere, but you need to plan.

We've had our 2014 BMW i3 for 4 years now and have put on 60k miles in that time, even with the 18.8kwh battery and no dc charging option! We had it at the Grand Junction car show this year and it was great meeting other local ev owners.

I drove my 62kWh Leaf from south Florida to Atlanta a few weeks ago - which was my first road trip in my car. Even on the highway the range remained in the 200s, charging stops were very quick (around half an hour), and finding chargers was very easy. Everything was super easy and great, until the battery overheated, everything after that was painful. On the way up the battery overheated in Mcdonough Georgia which wasn't that bad because thats right outside Atlanta, but on the way back my battery overheated in Valdosta Georgia which was less than halfway back to my house- every charging stop after that was an hour and it took the whole day to get back home. The CHAdeMO port and lack of thermal management are both an issue, but in Florida and Georgia I have never had an issue finding a charger so the lack of thermal management is a much larger issue.

What a great Leaf story. I trip everywhere in the UK in my Leaf, mostly for work. As far south as London ~380mi a few times. PRO TIP based on the work of @LemonTeaLeaf; DC charge between 30-90% to slow the pack heating. It starts to ramp down over about 50% so doesnt cook as much. I get about 3 charges at decent rate without issue. We are fairly well served still with Chademo here, being about 200mi from the Leaf european factory. Many of the big names (except ionity) are still installing new units with provision for Chademo, about a 3/8 unit ratio. Keep advocating. If we can do these kinds of trips in a Leaf, then anyone can live with a more modern EV surely!

The problem with Battery Thermal Management is if the coolant lines leak inside the battery either antifreeze or freon then the whole battery pack is destroyed. Just buy a CCS to Chademo adapter, I had a Chademo to Tesla adapter a few years ago.

I still say Nissan should continue to produce the LEAF for the future, but upgrade it with a 75 kWh battery, TMS, and a CCS/NACS connector. I put over 62K on my 2012 LEAF in over 6 years -and really miss it. They are useful, practical, easy-to-use, comfortable EVs. Do we really need more elaborate bells-and-whistles? I say NO.

Great interview. We had each of the bmw i3 battery sizes (started with 80, then 100, and finally 125). I’ve used public dcfc 4 times in 9 months with our ‘23 VW ID4 Standard (209 mile range), so I doubt that if we get a CPO SL Plus that the car would even ever NEED ChaDemo since it would be primarily the daily driver local car.

I was somewhat of a energy pioneer when I was out in CA in the late 70s. My uncle converted his truck to propane and got me thinking about experimenting. My hybrid propane/gasoline chevette was my first real energy project. I drove it back to MA when I got out of the USAF. it had a combined 600mile range. No time for any experimenting until I retired. In 2018, I bought a prius prime. It was totaled (hit sitting at an intersection) and I made the decision to go full EV with a used 21 leaf. Longest trip has been 160mile round trip with 1 fast charge. I think of it like an old vw bug but the leaf is a pretty comfortable ride. It is fine for local transportation. The leaf doesn't like high speed driving in the hot weather. The battery heats up. Active cooling would be the best improvement. Range is only 150mi under ideal conditions but the battery has to be cool to accept maximum fast charge. I'm waiting for LFP in the new bolt or a tesla. Too bad that the leaf doesn't have battery and active cooling enhancement options.

Kyle stop with the chademo is dead bull. You tell a leaf owner who knows that she can go all over with chademo. I have Done it for 8.5 years and we keep getting new chademo units all the time. Hampton inn in ohio just installed 2 ccs/chademo units at the hotel. You have been saying that for 3 years. And are as wrong as can be. I charged next to a Kia Soul ev driver with chademo.

"Normal Vehicle" From the mid 1920s -1990 oil companies put Lead in the gas(Lead is carcinogenic). Gas is made from Oil most wars the USA has been in the last 40 years has been about Oil. Burning hydro carbons aka Gas contributes to Climate Change, I heard the other day the world has already warmed 1.5 degrees during the last climate summit they all agreed 1.5 is in the safe zone but unfortunately most governments are turning a blind eye and 2 degrees and higher are expected in just a few years.
