Erick with a CK is formimg a car review cult....you are entering celebrity status as we watch....keep going

The best thing about electric vehicles is that we generate electricity in this country while we have to import petrol and diesel from the Arab countries. Petroleum products account for 30% of the value of imports into this country

Wasee wa Infinix we were just chilling then boom🤣🤣🤣 4:16

Buying a Nissan Leaf for 4m just to save on fuel is madness. I would instead buy a premio or a Legacy and save the 2m for ksh.1,500 daily fuel for 6 years and still remain some good money for servicing. 4m is overrating this car.

A Toyota Prius, Camry hybrid, Crown hybrid or RAV4 hybrid would make economic sense. Fuel efficient and no range anxiety.

Usually while buying an electric car,you get a warranty for the battery for 100000km. The batteries available nowadays don't use just lithium but also combine nickel and manganese. The most modern one is the lithium phosphate battery which is very reliable against cheap with a very long life. Actually tesla are using the lithium phosphate battery on their current model y. It can last for 1 million kilometres or 130 yrs

Even if you have a Mazda Atenza and service it genuine parts with certified mechanic, plus fueling it, with the down time you won't get to spend 2m

Who else is so much into carnversation cult? 😂 And our carsisi CK , deacon is Ibra, and alter boy is Mbugus

On disposal battery can be used for second life uses such as grid storage. It is also a business opportunity to sell to battery recycling companies

Hey guys , i appreciate your good job ... Now requesting a HONDA ODDESEY review..... Waaah!!! I have also seen you Wokabi on that show with Dr. King'ori... Congrats man.... Am always amazed because of how you are so much informed about cars..... You guy you're on your own league...Waah!!💯💯❣️👍 I really don't think kama Big Boy Trev amefika hapo in terms of the knowledge you have about cars...🔥🔥

On another note (pun intended), kama kawaida nissan and sound insulation is very good. The clarity is on point and almost no road noise. Might be the lack of engine noise but sound insulation is superb

It's good that you chose to review the 4 million shillings 2017 Nissan Leaf. I would also like to see a short review of the older 2014-2015 Leaf available for 1m to 1.5 m in the Kenyan market. Are they worth it and how long will the battery last considering it's foreign used for some years.

Excellent review. On Hydrogen energy, it is very energy intensive to produce to the point of not making sense to use it as an environmental friendly source

Very informative but one thing is certain you cannot buy this car as your first car.Its best if it's your second for running errands within the metropolis

I think as a country we are not ready for these EV's... But like any other technology, we shall learn with time and appreciate their usefulness

Great review. On a side note, Mr Toloi is struggling to defend this car like Nabii is struggling to justify his taxes.

Very in-depth review. Value for money is off but it is a good daily commuter car for someone plying Thika road , kiambu road or jogoo road. Basically ideal for people living within a 70km radius or Nairobi or their places of work. Erick please do a review of the Mitsubishi outlander Phev. It is Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle, meaning it can run on full electric mode, Gasoline mode or Hybrid mode. It could be really interesting.

This is the best review ive watched

Loved the review 😅

This car have seen it somewhere am happy for to review this Nissan leaf

The space inside these vehicles is impressive. Very deceptive from the outside. Unfortunate that Nopea shut down.

I will give it 8, Ibrahim is very right , remember the things to consider when buying a car,then there is nothing like saving the environment 😢 coz the mining and processing of this raw materials emits alot of harmful gases...but e-v takes the day.

Ibrah really tried to explain himself

Reviewing Nissan Leaf katikati ya matawi, I see what you did there. But with that bei, you should have reviewed it katikati ya shamba ya bangi, miraa ama muguka.

Nissan ni nissan tu. Kila kitu yao inasuffer in some way from kuchemka. Whether ni CVT ama batteries..

Let me wait for BYD Atto 3 from Australia. A new model would cost 5 million inclusive of taxes. BYD has blade batteries ( a breakthrough technology ) It has a range of over 400 kilometers.

Still, doing a average score for the battery life. At 4.5km, it is at 70%, the mileage was achieved in "suitable country", then this is a ticking bomb. Assume the battery life when it hits something like 25k km, and in tropical country like kenya.

Hello, @erick wokabi,i want to know something,does the Nissan Serena Epower performs the same with the Nissan Note Epower..

This was interesting😂😂😂...the leaf is abit mbadala😂😂

Great review kindly bring a vw e golf..... to balance the JDM and German.....

How much distance can you go when the battery is fully charged and how much charge does it consume per kilometre?

4 million you can get byd atto 3 or mg4 trophy which can drive 400 km on a single charge and very comfortable electric suvs

🎉The day has come! With the Leaf's efficiency being 16.6 kWh/100 km and a kWh (1 unit ya KPLC) being Ksh. 26.52, that means that it will cost you Ksh. 440.23 to drive for 100 km. Compare that with a Corolla, which is rated for 7.5l/100km and fuel costing Ksh 179.30 per litre, the cost to do the same distance will be Ksh 1,344.75. No wonder Super Metro and Embassava have jumped on electric, the running costs are so low.

Mambo yamechemuka kwa debate 😂. Halafu ile episode ya most useless, most reliable mlilenga 😢

Great job with the review. Best to ascertain the real cost per km i.e. charging, maintenance, insurance and amortized battery replacement over 5 years. When we do so we end up with a figure of almost KES 21.35l/Km (excluding depreciation). If we draw a comparison let's say with 1.5 Demio Diesel Turbo the cost per km= KES 14.5/km and almost KES 2.3-2.5 million cheaper for a similar 2017 year in terms of purchase price. Two things need to be done to make electric cars more viable in Kenya by the Government: lower import taxes for them and have a special tariff for their eletric charging. I frequent Addis and the streets are filled with brand new electric cars - VW ID.4,5, 6, Benz EQ series and other numerous Chinese brands. Here is the thing over there import tax for electric cars is only 5% 😮 whereas Kenya is 75% minimum or more if you don't under invoice. The power costs KES 3kWh and Kenya's is 27. I will stick to ICE for now but the Note e power is a better choice despite older looking but best to dispose it before 160,000km before the batteries give in. Has lower torque at 250Nm but is quicker off the line due to the very small 1.5kW battery pack. It is also way cheaper.

I have this Nissan xtrial and the engine check keeps on popping and the car mostly will stop and am forced to switch off and restart again. What might be the problem? Anyway I like how you me like FJ cruser

I love everything about this review!

Can you advise about getting an Avensis 2.0 2006 model

What the cost of battery pack for Nissan Note Epower..

Hi can you make a video about the 2006 Toyota Avensis 2.0

Unforyunately your statistics were true some 7 years ago but not now. The crown now is largely with tesla especially the tesla model Y and model 3. Otherwise great work.

Mbugua has made me laugh sana...eti the reason for first acceleration to take much time is because you are inside😂😂😂

When you open a video and press like before even watching it, hiyo ni shida gani?!!?

wait, the car has 4000 on the odo and the battery health has already gone below 75%, that could only mean that bu 30000 km you will have replaced it, wah with a cost of more than 1m to changed it wah, Wokabi hapo kidogo haileti shangwe

CK, I am seeing the 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulieta are now becoming a common car on the road. Are you able to do a review of the same??

Inverter perform two function...one to change dc voltages to AC three phase ..kumbuka mota za kwenye hizi electric na hata hybrid cars ni brushless three phase motors ambazo zinakua induced kuzunguka because of three thing... The second function of inverter is to covert DC high voltage to 14 DC voltage to charge 12 voltage battery that powers all 12 v electrical systems. Kwa Tanzania,Kenya, Uganda. kununua full electric vehicle ni shida.. hybrid is the way to go... hybrid haina limitations kama za full electric vehicle..imagine stay somewhere for 8 hours just to charge the car.. atleast infrastructure za fast charging zikiwa nyingi angalau itakua viable kununua unless otherwise go for hybrid..me natumia hybrid..na kama mtu anataka nunua gari ya kuplug kwenye umeme kuna plug-in hybrid cars...

Pia ku charge na gava ya ruto wataweka tax it will be expensive than fueling

Iko na cooling system??

I think the epower is better, a vehicle you can't go to Eldoret is a throw, unless you have another vehicle and this is a pet car.

ama there is a power blackout?

The Nissan Ariya has a power (electric) tailgate. The Leaf is supposed to be a budget/mainstream EV, so it won't have an electric tailgate.

The battery can last 10 years. My cost of fuel and maintaining toyota axio per year is around 300k.

Ati hydrogen is clean!!! The problem is you are comparing the production of batteries VS the emmissions of hydrogen. compare production to production and emissions to emissions.

A very honest review,keep up!!!

with that range, it means the Leaf had to carried to NBI from Mombasa considering the first charging station from the Port iko TRM

the e power was a much better deal hands down

Is Nissan e-NV200 in Kenya?

Damn the car looks cool shieet

Nissan leaf is a good car but I would rather a hybrid car if I have to buy something electric. If I have to buy a nissan, then the note e power is a definate solution.

Scotty Kilmer once said never be a Guinea pig of testing technology. Electric cars for now i can't try to buy.

Suggestion for CMNL, weka line za simu watu wapige simu live..

hii ata imi sijaipenda 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hainibambi

The problem with having electric power with lithium batteries, is you risk the car being obsolete because China has invented batteries using sodium. These might be short-lived the way the DVD players did.

Watu wa infinix were just chilling...

I'll join the Carnversation membership the day I'll see a Chevrolet here

I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 22/05/2023

still waiting for the Peugeot 3008 review

Finally imeanza kuuzwa But bei😥

i feel its a fail considering its price I would prefer a hybrid then 💔

with the current fuel prices nifungie hii

Eric is that one person hapendi kushindwa

Ibra lazima alilia after hii shoot

The only reason anyone would buy this car is to conserve the environment and be a pioneer towards green energy. The push towards green energy has been hindered by fossil fuel engines, yes our electricity is produced by diesel engines but truth is if we can have more electric cars then there will be incentive to develop green energy solutions like solar, wind etc. This car will not solve global warming but it's one of the many solutions.

Bring us the 1st Tesla which is an electric one

this makes the electric car look like a still birth in kenya

8 seconds to the 0-100?

This carversation on EV is unending because it started way before Tesla. Elon must woke up the entire world on EVs. Battery tech continues to gain momentum towards longevity. There are batteries that last longer than the vehicle itself (million mile battery 🔋). We may not be there just yet, but we are in the right direction. Solar energy is real, and I believe we can have solar powered charging stations. Hiyo Monday night Live si muniite?

Erick...you didn't drive with the boys...in suzuki swift sport...Do something☹️

Ambia cameraman Mbugua aache kukwama na camera place moja, hatukuona under the hood

I like this The future is electric

Mimi ile anxiety nimekua nayo ni voice na video kuto enda pamoja 😮

Hata walipe Ibra pesa ngapi, hii gari nayo haiwezi. 4M. Gari siwezi endesha Kisumu to Maralal bila kucharge twice is just a joke. Hata watu wa Uber town service wenye inaweza serve walipe 4M???? 🚮

Ati its an electric device 😀😀😀 Ibrahim bana

Cant put my finger on it but ni camera mlichange ama? Picture quality ni moto sana. About Nissan i never comment. I keep my views

kwani e-power we were outside ?

Ibra leo amekaliwa

serikali ya zakayo should lower importation taxes for such vehicles to be affordable because it can only benefit city taxi and uber business. lakini 4m mtu wa uber atatoa wapi??? na hadi si brand new 😄

4m ni kugongwa buanaa

Not an economic vehicle on the other side of value.

Ibrah leo alikuwa moody sana kwa ako kwa ile kitu ya mwezi…

Critical questions and without answers

Can't buy rubbish at 4M

You guys are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Electric cars make sense when you have solar energy to charge it.

tip :only buy an ev when the range is over 1200km if you really want to save the environment

4 mill what

4 million for this car is overpriced. A brand new 2023 byd seagull with a blade battery costs 11400 dollars and can drive 400 km on a single charge

The downside of electric vehicles is the lithium ion batteries and range anxiety......I will buy an electric vehicle that is if there are other forms of battery systems(longer range batteries)....Like China's small vehicle BYD which has a sodium ion battery...which is cheaper than lithium.....If more alternatives are built, the better.

Tesla battery can last for 1 million kilometres

Looks like a Honda

The best selling ev is tesla followed by byd
