Nissan Leaf: 10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know

If Nissan implements a major warranty & offers AWD options on this EV, they'll haul in SO MUCH CASH.

I dunno about that single peddle system. I'm used to pulling my foot away from the peddle while I'm in ice & not using the break to allow the vehicle to naturally slow down because I know sudden breaking can cause you to spin out on the road during winter. I wouldn't want to pull my foot away from the peddle out of habit & end up in the ditch because the vehicle automatically decided to break hard on ice.

Not in Cleveland.

The chatemo charger needs to go and changed to the most popular charging here like at EA chargers and the car also needs an active cooling system for the battery when charging so it doesn't overheat.

GREAT NISSAN.

Si senor.👍🚔

Grrrrr, I wish I had one. I drive about 60-100 miles a day, I work in the field. I use my own car and get paid .50 a mile but I pay for gas. A Leaf would save me SOOO much. And I hate going to Jiffy Lube every 3 months!!

nassan not nisarn, stupid Yanks

I drive a 2018 for my job. I hate it in the winter because the minute you turn on the heat you lose 20% of the battery life. Plus charging outside in the winter the car only charges to 130 miles which is false because again once you turn on heat or get on the freeway your mileage drops significantly. I freeze all winter because I have to selectively use my heat so I can finish my work day. I have never seen my leaf in the summer charge to 100% and more than 170 miles. In closing great car to run a few errands around town. Terrible if you need it to drive a guaranteed 80 miles daily.

Biased commercial

Super video thank you.

Just the ability to repair them with spare parts sets the leaf apart from anything else.

Is it worth buying a Nissan LEAF car?

The only reason I wouldn't get a leaf is that they have Chadimo instead of CCS.

Just got my 2022 SV Leaf. Very excited to save on gas now!

I love my leaf and it’s been a great daily driver to and from work. However, I can’t recommend it to most people because of the lack of active battery cooling. I would love to travel with it, but battery heat prevents anything that requires more than 1 fast charge.

Love my leaf. Am on my 3rd ! Just upgraded to my first new one.

I own 2020 SL Plus & love it :) I have owned two tesla's (overpriced) two chevy Bolts (the seats are uncomfortable) one Ford Mach-E, (Apple Car play never worked), Nissan is the best why to go !!!

The gas pedal for multi use I think it's a terrible idea

bruh the 360 view camera is only for the leaf sl plus I have a s plus and I doesn't have 360 view

If it had an animal detection system, I'd agree it's the best
but as it is now, cars need to be noisy up to a point
more silent cars these days also hit more animals crossing roads ! Those animals can't run cause they don't hear the car approach like now

Love my 2015 Leaf bought with 50,000 miles. I only get 80 miles full charge but free charging at my dealership on my way to work and free gourmet coffee drinks at the dealership is well worth the limited range.

Why doesn't Nissan get rid of the Chademo charge port which is going the way of dinosaur. The USA is CCS all over now with other forms of charging are disappearing. Get with the program Nissan!!!

I really liked this video. I want to go all electric and I’m kind of waiting for Honda because we’ve been brand loyal for 40 years but this Leaf is very tempting and if I get to test drive and like it I might just pop over to Nissan. Thanks!

I own a 2020 Nissan Leaf SV 40 kwH. It is my first electric vehicle and by far the best car I've ever owned. Maintenance is virtually zero since you don't have an internal combustion engine. The extent of the maintenance is regular service, tire rotations, and the occasional replacement of tires and brakes. Loved it so much that I bought out my lease! The only negative I have is the range anxiety. Since I dont have the 60 kwH battery, I get 160 miles and I've just encountered the first battery degradation to 144 miles after 2 years of ownership. Still enough for what I need it for.

I love my 2021 LEAF a really brilliant car

I have a 2019 Nissan Leaf SL Plus. After over 3 years of driving, the vehicle drives perfectly, and the only maintenance I have ever done is rotate and balance tires.

Would you recommend buying a leaf to someone who doesn't have a garage to charge the car?

Still dont understand why people would pay extra for recycled material or products made from recycled materials. You are all stupid.

I have had my 2019 40kwh Leaf Tekna for over a year now. I love the car but here in the UK the charging infrastructure is woefully inadequate at present. Long journeys are a nightmare of can I find a charger that is unoccupied and actually working. The town where I live does not have a single charger of any type. Fortunately I can charge at home but not everyone can. The UK government want us all to be driving EVs by 2030 but are not doing anything about local chargers.

When tun right or left white indicator the fog light comes on when turning right or left

I really like this car I’m might definitely purchase this car it’s also electric.

Hello there I'm from Colorado 👋🏻💜🔌🚗 and I drove a 2019 Nissan leaf w only 40kw battery 150miles of range, I'm on my 4th year and I've done road trips and car shows, love ot of you come check out my channel as well 👋🏻📸injace the leaf w basic everything, looks like I'm this updated version they hafe added the propilot assist to the Nissan aryia 🤔 I love my car and its not just to from grocery store! Road trips, car shows, all all kinds of places o haven't discovered yet!! Stay tuned!!

Enjoyed the presentation. I bought my first EV last May. A slightly used 2019 Nissan LEAF PLUS. Love it! I was a little surprised that even after having driven mine several thousand miles now I still learned a few new things from your video. Mostly about the recycled materials and after use recycling of these cars. Great job!

Hello Sir, when the charging cable connected the charge indicator light illuminate in sequence and then stop, what we need to do to bring it in charging mode

It's funny listening to comments in this advertorial about fast charging times. Leaf charges, at best, at about 46kW. Typically this speed drops down to about 25kW when the battery gets too hot or cold. That's about an hour to get to 80% on a rapid charger. But the main issue with the battery is that degradation is so bad when it is charged at "rapid" speeds over hundreds of charging cycles. Much better to charge at slower speeds if you can.

My 2016 Leaf only feature that you mentioned is the quiet cabin, all other features, where 🤷

is it still Type 1 charging?

What is the maximum speed?

I have a 2019 leaf. I have been driving Leafs since they first went on sale, and I love driving electric. I wanted an electric car before you could get one and had to build it yourself. I couldn't afford that. The 160 miles range I get has been plenty up until last Monday. I got caught out on the interstate trying to find some place and wound up completely dead. Had to be towed. I had it brought to my workplace, and that is when I found out the cord that came with it no longer plugs into a standard 110v wall plug and I couldn't plug it in. It was SO FLAT that the hazard lights wouldn't even flash. Putting a regular 12v charger on the 12v battery under the hood brought it back to life. I got it home on Thursday night. Might have been able to do it Wed. but didn't trust to make it. I can only hope that being on its own home charger will bring it back completely. I really wish Nissan would build an electric
"290-Z". I don't want an SUV and would like something sporty.

This or Ioniq?

How does it stop in time?

Only battery air cooling lol

Apparently the app was shut down

Looking forward to buying one soon which is going to be my first car!

2018 leaf...total crap..new batt at 43 and now 63k...save me the savevthe invironment crap. Never again

The Leaf doesn't have a BMS,which can be bad for the battery. Check out what ChatGPT said about it:
"Not having a Battery Management System (BMS) in a Nissan Leaf can significantly affect the longevity and performance of the battery pack. The BMS is responsible for monitoring and managing the individual cells within the battery pack to ensure they are charged and discharged properly, preventing issues such as overcharging, over-discharging, and cell imbalance.

Without a BMS, the cells in the battery pack can become imbalanced, leading to premature degradation and reduced capacity of the battery. This can result in shorter driving range, decreased performance, and ultimately a shorter lifespan of the battery pack. In extreme cases, the lack of proper management of the cells can lead to thermal runaway and safety hazards.

Overall, not having a BMS in a Nissan Leaf can have a negative impact on the longevity and reliability of the battery, potentially resulting in costly repairs or replacement of the battery pack".
