FAQs: Can the Nissan Kicks wade through floods? Yes, the battery is sealed and the bottleneck component is still the ICE, just like traditional ICE vehicles. Can you plug the Nissan Kicks into a wall for charging? No. Is the Nissan Kicks still considered a hybrid? Yes, a series hybrid. Can you force the Nissan Kicks to charge itself? Yes, just hold down the "EV mode" button to enable "Charge" mode.

If you can recall a meme circling around the net of a Tesla towing a gas-powered generator behind it as a, well a generator, Nissan saw it and thought "hey, that's genius!" and came up with this, the Kicks e-Power. Kidding aside though, as I also stated in Kyle's previous "First Drive" video of the Kicks, it is definitely a very promising car from Nissan no doubt. A very good alternative to the gas-powered players in our market, it is a good starting point from going all-in with the all-electric Leaf. The Kicks's innovative hybrid powertrain is without a doubt the highlight of the car, which should deliver great range and fuel economy. Plus it's more affordable to begin with. Nissan might have a winner here. 👌

I watched your review on the Coolray and saw you actually owned the car, Kyle. Given you’ve reviewed both, I’m curious to know if, given the chance, would you replace the Coolray with the Kicks e-Power? Asking since I own the former but am curious about the latter 😂

@gregrodriguezIII6 ай бұрын
@@rondg2 Not totally B.S but I get what you mean. But here's what happen, when you are faster, with this car, you release the pedal a little bit more and can have more regenerative breaking. In my experience, driving at 40km/h vs at 70km/h , the results is kinda what he is saying. I get 18-21km/l at lower speed, and for some reason, 24-36km/l at the higher speed. Now there are a lot things in play, like I mentioned, most likely at faster speed you kinda sustain the regenerative breaking longer, which increase the fuel economy. A lot of times it is, but road conditions, and driving also is part of the equation. It's not automatic that you get higher Fuel effeciency, but most of the time, yes. So it's kinda a yes and no, speed has nothing to do with it, but rather the driving habits at a certain speed do changes.

Really wish nissan could've used LFP lithium batteries vs the NMC lithium batteries. With the small size, and series hybrid operation, I don't know how long the battery will last before significant degradation as current NMC batteries have at average 1000 charge cycles vs LFP's 5000 cycles.

you don't need to test at that steep driveway. kicks has lots of torque, the acceleration numbers prove it, so it WILL climb for sure. i.e. if it accelerates faster than most cars on level ground then it'll also accelerate up that ramp faster than most cars

@@johnbrotata391 yes if you mean cars like Tesla, yes their battery life span is way longer, true. Kicks you could say it's 8 years. That's their guaranteed warranty. But based on the leaf since It's the same, you still have leafs running till today. However, one thing to note, the charge and discharge, is being overstated. Cars lithium battery is not the same as your average lithium battery in consumer devices. They are a very different kind of battery and not comparable if that's the basis. Now consider infrastructure, that range anxiety is a problem. Then how fast cars update tech? You are really looking at 5-10 years of every modern car that owners will replace them. I mean majority of 2012 Tesla owners already replaced their car with a newer Tesla model. But then again a hybrid vs EV comparison is just apples to oranges.
