Nissan has a new EV out that's bigger, charges quicker, and is way nicer inside kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtF5gLKo0tKRf4E.html

We have the same car bought in 2022. We were also looking at the Bolt which was pulled because of fire issues. After searching the net, I found only one documented leaf fire in 2015. We love the birds-eye view camera. The car which is basic old school tech and has physical buttons are refreshing and easy to master for a Luddite driving an EV. In summary, as a second around town car this car is perfect. In addition I love the metal roof, and hate all glass roofs. Our road car is a Subaru. You’re review is spot on.

Excellent review. Just straight forward information, no bashing. I would buy one and travel. I've driven my 2014 Leaf up and down the l-5 corridor. Since the new Leafs go farther on a charge I would travel again since I am not addicted to convenience. Actually I would replace the battery in my present Leaf and have an almost new car for less than the price of a new one. For those who live in the Portland Oregon area EV Rides LLC is the place to go for a Leaf battery replacement.

Just finished my fourth charge 2023 SV Plus. High estimation was 268 miles and low estimated miles was 238 miles. Really this vehicle!

Wife and myself love our 2022 SV Plus. We use it for all kinds of 100 miles round-trips (beach trips, etc).

Really like your info graphic comparing the range and prices. I’m gonna subscribe. Keep up the good work, and the infographics. 😊

Own a 2023 Leaf Plus and found your review right on. This is my third Leaf. Why? Because of their high quality and reasonable price. But as you stated not good for long distant drving. I also like your shirt.

I love my 2023 Leaf SV 😊Plus, just the right car for me.

I have leased Leafs since 2018, and I really like the cars. The Leaf's biggest shortcoming is the CHAdeMO fastcharge standard, which has become obsolete in the US. Nissan uses CSS for the Ariya and all future US cars, and fastcharge suppliers (such as ElectrifyAmerica) have dropped CHAdeMO support from new installations. Although my 2022 SV+ can charge at 100 kW, I have never encountered a CHAdeMO charger greater than 50. It is increasingly hard to find CHAdeMO. Where available, there is usually a single plug (but there may be several CCS plugs). When America builds out the nationwide fastcharge network, it will be all CCS, since every manufacturer (except Tesla) will use that standard. At least 95% of America's EV fleet will use CCS. Leafs will be relegated to local commuter cars without the ability to fastcharge on the road. When my current Leaf lease ends, I will switch to a CCS-charged Chevy Volt. Alas.

The charger isn’t a problem in Sweden ❤ or most of Europe.

We just had our 2017 leaf bought back by Nissan due to battery problems ( under warranty). We looked around and contemplated replacing it with a Corolla or Sentra BUT we’re not really interested in going back to gas and mechanical parts. Our local Nissan dealer had a fantastic offer (12k off) and we had a discount code from Nissan that took the price down even more. In the end we negotiated a brand new ( with less than 50 miles on the car!) 23 SV + for a lease that costs the same as our previous car payment ( for the 2017). Feels like a significant upgrade to me!

Everyone loves to shit on the Leaf.

This man is a damn delight for the senses. Please do more reviews. Oh and this cars for grandmas who won’t be traveling out side their cities much if ever.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video and my sister lives in Vancouver and she bought the 2022 kia ev6 after waiting 6 weeks because of the chip shortage I helped he'd because of my neighbor works for kia canada headoffice and her color of choice white thanks for the video

i still own my first gen leaf imported from japan. battery down to 70% and still good for daily commute. for 11yrs it ran perfect and still is. it was the best BEV at that time. my next car will be a Tesla CyberTruk.

Pam here….the simplicity of this car is suited for tech limited seniors and they tend to drive a lot less anyway. I have been noticing a lot of retirees with them.

Nissan dealers are still demanding $5000 "market adjustment" on top of the MSRP for Leaf. Nuts.

I'll stick with my 2011 Nissan Leaf (still on original battery).

The Leaf is a wonderful all around EV. Great for around town use. Highly recommended. 😊

Just bought me one in April.. love it

I find the power of the leaf amazing 0 to 60 in 7 seconds seems fantastic

Currently Japan and China are the only countries that still support the CHAdeMO standard. Supposedly no one is building new CHAdeMO plugs or repairing the ones that fail. Beware if your life style revolves around long road trips!

Love the visible comparative chart atb 5:43 to 7:07. Great overall review sincerely

I think if the leaf had CCS charger, liquid cooled battery and a preheat battery i believe the Leaf would be a great EV. Well at-least the SVplus would be the S needs more range

Why Nissan just doesn't go CCS for DC fast charging is beyond me.

Today my Nissan Leaf has to go to Nissan heaven 2013 MK1 Purchased from Nissan Dealership, full service history and all repairs completed at Nissan and today at only 48k, yes 48k! miles the error code of inverter and motor was found with an estimated repair bill of £9800 pounds. Nissans response was car is over 8 years old so we cant help.

Hate the wheels on the new Leaf! The old Leaf❤ will become the VW Beetle of electric cars

Forgot to mention rapidgate on road trips (slow charging becomes super super slow charging).

I don't like the look of the rims. I love my 2015 SL Leaf. Leather and Bose is a nice touch.

Idk who EV pulse is or how tyey snagged him, but his writing talent is still impeccable.

Nice review. I get bored when people talk about design innovation because most men wouldn't recognize innovation if it bumped into them. The Leaf 1 was innovative, Nissan were criticised, the Leaf 2 is boring as a consequence. Men seem to like cars that either look like a Lambo or a tank. Personally, for me the car needs to be functional, efficient, safe, and comfortable. It's not a work of art. It's a machine that will be disposed of after about 5-10 years unless it's a classic. Most people own new cars these days for the length of the lease. I'm not going to obsess about the quality of the plastic or the lovely stitching if I can't de-mist the screen before it fogs up. Maybe that's just me..

What does it mean at minute 7:44 when you say 'one downside to immediate off the line scoot'? What is torque steer?, is it like a kick in gas-powered car?

Great take. I do still like it despite it practically being a dinosaur in todays marketplace. But going by your EV top tips video, yeah if it came to actually spending my own money, sorry Nissan just doesn’t make sense to give it to you (unless it’s for one of your Ariyas).

I have a Leaf and honestly the seats aren't that great. They're fine as long as you're not driving longer than like.. half hour. After that you're going to start getting back pain unless you're short and thin. They're not very wide and the edges curve a lot to keep you in place so someone like me who isn't even that tall (5'7'') gets their shoulders all hunched over. Other than that it's a pretty good and (relatively) cheap car that's is very newbie friendly for first time EV owners who can use this to cut off gas prices on their daily commute.

what a pretty drive! I'm drooling over a Kona, too bad i cant get one in my state?!

ITS A CERTIFIED SASS MACHINE FOR SURE!

The CHAdeMO connector is slow (most stations in the U.S. only support 50 kW), there is a car that charges even slower. -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h-Bzo8WCuZPHoWg.html

One other detail that would have put the leaf more competitive with those other EVs is the charging rate. It's actually got faster DC fast charging than the Bolt, Kona and Mini.

I enjoyed this... Thanks! After watching I'd buy the Bolt!

The Leaf has the best EV batteries in North America with a thousand new chademo charger locations added every 3 or 4 months it is a great time to buy and drive a Leaf.

😂 Chad Emo

How much does it cost I must have missed the price.

I can't believe that they kept that chadmo charge receptacle talk about planned obsolescence

Wish they had a station wagon version.

Would you recommend buying Nissan leaf to someone who doesn't have a garage to charge or install level 2 charger?

"Significant shortcomings"! It would be helpful if you would educate consumers about the disadvantages of an EV that does not have active thermal management in the traction battery.

Why are reviews always concerned about hp?? Obviously it is nit a Tesla. Talk about RANGE and CHARGING. Cmon man

I want an EV - but I want one that doesn't bottom-out on range. The Leaf would not be a valid choice, even though 90% of my driving is in-town. I might consider buying one if it was $15,000 but not more than that.

How does this drive in snow?

Great ! Thanks

Hey, why not tell us the 0-60 time? This car is very quick!

Is it possible to charge from a DC charger that is not CHAdeMO, for example a Tesla one?

Are there any CHAdeMO chargers currently in the U.S. that can charge 100kW?

Subscribed because Craig Cole.

Those wheels don't really match the rest of the cars aesthetic... They would look much better on a more retro styled car like the Ioniq 5.

This was a good review! There's just one thing I would have liked to be included: time to full charge on an L1 charger, which is what the car comes with, or an L2 charger, which is what you find at most public charging stations in California. I've never seen a "chademo" charging station anywhere in the city I live in, so I'm much more interested in how long it takes to charge a Leaf SV+ with it's on-board L2 charger. What is the maximum charge rate? Some public L2 chargers can go as high as 9,600 watts (40 amps at 240 volts), most of them can supply 30 amps (7,200 watts), and a few older ones are limited to 20 amps (4,800 watts). Okay, I just looked this up: The "Plus" model Leaf with it's 62kWh battery takes 11.5 hours to charge on an L2 charger, while the 40kWh battery takes 8 hours. These numbers imply that the Leaf's onboard charger has a 5,600 watt maximum capacity at 240 volts, which is 23 amps. If you are using the L1 charger that comes with the car, these are all limited to about 1,440 watts (12 amps) no matter what brand of EV car you plug them into: the limit is the power capacity of the 120 volt wiring and circuit breakers in your house. So the 62 kw-hour battery in the Leaf Plus would take 62/1.44 = 43 hours to fully charge from 14% SOC to 84% SOC (the typical minimum/maximum SOC of any EV with a lithium ion battery). The battery in the Chevy Bolt is 65 kilowatt hours, so charging times for the Bolt are probably similar to the Leaf Plus for L1 and L2 charging.

80% charge in an hour? Assume zero charge to 80%, this would equal 48 kWh. Charge rate is 100 kw… why would it take an hour to get to 80%

Is both j1772 and Chademo go in the way of the dodo

Please double check the Bolt EV pricing at the 6:35 mark. The Bolt starts at $32,495 before destination charges and $7500 rebate.

Perhaps Tesla paid you for this video. I love my 2023 Leaf!

From an Industrial Designer, I find the design to be superficially fussy; and it looks less interesting than the previous Leaf designs. It just looks like a regular car with fussy details and a bad looking head light design.

this video does not apply to europe

It looks like a fred fintstone car (roof line).

Is this still using an air cooled battery, or did they finally integrate a BMS with liquid cooling in there?

Gotta love that steering wheel that does not adjust in and out.

Does an EV have to look so horrendous?

The phones connected wireless

no boot spek

360p?

cheap lol. in uk i just ordered one. £36k

Only half the rang I need. Kiwi

Nissan missed the chance again with the most experience of electric cars. The dash is drab, the screen is pre historic. CHAdeMO should be changed to to DC or CCS as std.

The best thing is the Zero Emission decal is gone

EVs may very well overtake ICE vehicle sales when they can do one thing...100% Charge in 10 minutes or LESS. Until then....

dont understand why nissan even want to come out with rubbish like this in 2022/23.
