2022 Nissan Leaf Review | Behind the Wheel

Electric vehicles are soon going to be the future of mobility in the Philippines. With this new technology comes a few new challenges such as being in traffic with a limited range and finding a charging station. Caco takes on this challenge with our review of the 2022 Nissan LEAF on this episode of Behind the Wheel.

GOOD GOD WHERE'S THE TAMBUCHO? Caco is a drama queen for the win. Awesome review as always!

[@automachinehead]

just bought it. really nice just a little awkward when you've driven naturally aspirated ice all your life.

[@jardin-meeprac8162]

that is one heck of a presentation.. never fail to amaze us with your delivery :) love the ending

[@cgRui34]

It would be nice if fully-electric vehicles can get tax breaks or tax exemptions to make them cheaper and become adapted faster locally. As well as better infrastructure support, meaning more charging stations.

[@pilosopongsinoy8466]

When EVIDA law fully implemented

[@ejhayesepillos127]

Can you also do a review of the BYD Dolphin and maybe a comparo of these 2 EVs. Great review as always.

[@speeddemon945]

Tito Caco! please check this out.. thanks!

[@marthygeesalas7989]

Good suggestion Sir.👍

[@allanjones8653]

20:00 I just received news that the retail for this is about 1.9 million starting April 2023.

[@ivanvillarruz8412]

We need an ardent promoter of clean renewable energy in the congress and senate to be able to push for electrification laws in motor vehicles. Incentives to those who would invest on charging infrastructure for all types of ports would be a great start. Provide tax breaks as well for car companies selling EVs.

[@0xcbsz0ghkwzrsbx04p4sbh]

[@criticalsage]

The electrification of vehicle is a business move. It won't save the environment since electric vehicles would need lots of Lithium mining which in turns would require lots of diesel run mining vehicles and trucks. It's a scam.

[@StrawNonHuman]

Meron naman. Si Loren Legarda. Mahina nga lang ang batas mapasa, ma implement.

[@sprakenite]

Atm for EVs you'd be better off having your own fast charger installed at home. Also for someone who regularly travels to a city 300kms away the range of the leaf is cutting it close. This is great for short rides though 😍

[@charmagnekennethsy8518]

I assume this Leaf is an X variant (16" alloys), I hope you can try the G variant too, it has better features like 17" alloys, and Pro-Pilot. Soon, PH roads will have more EVs to come, especially that Nissan Ariya. Thank you for this upload.

[@marcs4]

no. not in the near future. more hybrids - yes, but not full EVs. they're too expensive for Filipinos. the gas savings you get would be offset by the price of the vehicle.

[@arthurcunanan5687]

Love watching sir caco doing the review everytime. Awesome. 😁

[@rhuuuuinoppa]

You can buy a J1772 Type 1 to Type 2 adaptor to solve the issue of adaptor compatibility although it’s a bummer to have this kind of jumble of standard. I really hope that the government invest heavily and promote EV in the PH.

[@gregtudanca.]

One of a problem i see here is the charging location. Some ev's have their charging ports in the front which is the most common areas for minor accidents. Just imagine getting in a "managable" accident and instead of just having the front bumper repaired, but as well as its charging port.

[@homreh1774]

Nice to see, again, mr caco in full body shot with onitsuka sneakers.. onitsuka bekenemen😉

[@sinamarreyes695]

This is more expensive than the Tesla Model Y (at least here in Hong Kong) but looking forward to PH's electrification!

[@tomasang]

Would be nice if manufacturers could use a standard charging port... Most local malls provide CCS2

[@gilbs72]

The e-pedal probably activates the regenerative braking so it helps improve range. I'm not sure about it though. By now there will be owners who can comment on this. I'm interested in getting one do would like to know too.

[@agentorange8757]

2.7 million 🤔 while Chery Arrizo EV is just 1.9 million pesos with a better interior, sunroof, and slightly more range 310 km vs 350 km

[@Claro1993]

Some corrections about him saying that the chargers are proprietary to Nissan: the leaf that his reviewing uses the SAE J1772 electrical connection for level 1 (low power from a household wall outlet) and level 2 (similar to an electric dryer) charging which is a standard for most North American EVs and Japan, while the other one is called a Chademo for level 3 DC fast charging that was developed in Japan, but not as widespread globally.

[@speeddemon945]

...and ChaDeMo is about to get obsolete. and that is why Nissan Leaf if getting a bit of a hate in abroad kasi lahat halos CCS2 (Combo) and/or Tesla Proprietary port na sila ChaDeMo pa din. And that kinda sucks IMHO. hopefully they ditch the ChaDeMo or Nissan Ariya.

[@epicwave7060]

[@otepsky81]

And the battery module's warranty? That's one concern of potential buyers... if the time comes that the module needs replacement (because that's consumable) how much does it cost?

[@ly8682]

Yes we would like an EV but most of them are expensive than the traditional vehicle.

[@luisocamp2753]

Intay lang tayo mga 8-10 years pag na mass produced yan “SANA” bumaba ang price since may mga countries na starting year 2030 or 2035 electric vehicles and hybrid nalang ang ibebentang brand new, wala ng pure fossil powered (gas/diesel) car na ibebentang brand new, sa ibang bansa ah, syempre hindi ko pa alam sa pinas kung magpapatupad ng ganyan. Malay natin baka yung wigo or vios after 10-12 years maging electric na yung ibebentang brand new. Lets see pero mahal pa talaga as of now ang electric vehicle since hindi pa masyadong mass-produced.

[@jpatricks1]

Nissan should include a type 1 to type 2 adapter with the purchase

[@BAfriend107]

It is nice to get this car. The only downside i would say is the tech is still young for EVs. Better models will come in 5-10 yrs. Better wait for it.

[@NyllGabrylleGascon]

Check EVIDA Law RA 11697 and its IRR which provides import tax exemption on Electric Vehicles.

[@juanicofernandez]

300KM on a single charge is a stretch. You mean more like 200KM realistically?

[@tonitelaoag]

how about rush hour heavy traffic, are there any experience of anxiety that you will run out of battery juice

[@manuelmacalinao500]

Yung coding exemption palang sobrang laking bagay na by 2030 sakto kung tanggalin nila yung exemption malamang bibili ka narin ng bagong sasakyan at di mo na kailangan ng iba pang sasakyan para sa araw na coding ka bonus nalang yung isang kotse lang kailangan mo ipark at murang tank.

[@shinababes]

I'm am 100% sure that the 300Km is measured on flat roads without incline. It will be a whole lot shorter if your trip has inclines. Also is the Charging port proprietary to Nissan? I was curious as to why they put the type A instead of the European one specifically here in the PH? I'm assuming the type A is what's being used in Japan?

[@deancafe4739]

Technically that leaf is more hazardous to the environment than conventional gas vehicles, specifically here in the philippines, because the leaf uses coal to charge its batteries so it's a lot dirtier.

[@sammygizmo7087]

It's true no change oil but replacing the battery is the main issue. Like any battery it has a life span average of two years. Your savings in fuel and oil won't be enough to cover the cost of the battery.

[@MrKockabilly]

This is not intended for those who are worried about spending money. This EV is costlier by about P1 million than say a Civic. Definitely hindi mo mababawi yun dagdag na P1M sa gas savings in 10 years, kahit lumabas ka araw araw. Buyers of this has other reasons in mind, not saving pesos.

[@oliverpalomo1545]

lithium ho ba ung battery nyan?kung oo, panu pag nagka aksidente at na expose sa environment yung lithium?sa pagkaka alam ko is flammable yung lithium pag na expose sa outside environment. hindi ba sasabog yan?

[@drwfrnndo]

I love EVs, but the features you get for the price is a real deal breaker for me. The price which is close to 50k USD could buy you a Tesla Model 3 in the US (I know that cars are much more expensive here in the Philippines, but this is too much).

[@manuelmacalinao500]

Presyo nga ng civic pambili na ng mustang or 86 sa states so wag ka magexpect dahil lahat satin mas mahal.

[@therainbowpoopp]

Not even that but for 2.8M I'd rather buy a gas honda/toyota that has WAY more features at the 1.2-1.5 peso mark, saving the 1.2M for gas and the time it takes to charge.

[@kicksonfeet2294]

@@manuelmacalinao500 Ang Ford Cars/Mustang ay ginagawa mismo sa states. Hindi mo pwede icompare yung price nyan sa States at dito satin lalo na't napakalayo ng US sa Pinas. Shipping Cost palang ng ford from US to PH eh mahal na talaga. Common sense.

It's called patent. Unless European union will force company to be uniform. Like how they force iPhone to have USB type-c.

[@BossPau]

Ang galing naman pala ng nissan, nag market sa pinas ng leaf kahit walang charging stations. Epic move by a big brand

[@LightningSe7en]

With the efficiency and limited to city driving, there is no need for charging outside the home. EV efficiency for highway speed suffers a lot.

dont buy japanese EVs... stick to Ioniq5 EV6 and other non japanese EVs

[@GSzarkaTAT]

Torque is 320Nm, not 350Nm...or rather I wonder that Nissan is not producing different models to Asia than to Europe. My car's catalogue says 320Nm and 110kW - 150 HP. So, I think it is wrong data in video...but correct me if I am wrong

[@Adrian-rt8se]

The Nissan Leaf alone since it's launched in 2012 has the highest number of sold out EV's in the world, do you know why? Co'z the price was reasonable. I think the Philippine market is not ready yet as it's so EXPENSIVE plus the scarcity of charging points. Why expensive? Based on my computation, let say I drove my gasoline engine car up to 100,000 km in 5 years time with an ave.of 13 kpl (in both traffic and highway) with an ave. price of 75 php/ltr (with inflations & fluctuations) During that time, I fueld my tank with 7692.3 ltrs x 75 php = 576,923 pesos. Compared to the Leaf you will only spend 1/4 on that amount using electric fuel. In that say, I do need to run for 200K to 250K kilometers to match my savings on electric fuel compared to when buying cheaper gasoline engine top of the line Civic or Altis. Hayss,, I don't even know what to say. I thought this thing is only around 1.5 to 2M price range. It is even more expensive compared to the top of line mid-sized SUV'S in the market! The comfort level and cargo capacity is incomparable compared to this cute little thing.😂 #justsayingpeace

[@manuelmacalinao500]

Libre pa actually kung may solar panel ka sa bahay at may netmetering kapag gabi ka nagcharge.

[@radagasdas]

Sana may EV na trucks like the Toyota Hi Lux, Ford Ranger, and many more.

[@ACSanchez26]

Importation tax for the leaf and other EVs should at least be lesser than the conventional ICE. Else, it will remain relatively expensive. And of course the infrastructure for charging stations nationwide.

[@daryltulay]

the EV Plug standard should be set in our local ev law

[@kristoffermangila]

First changes for the Leaf: 1. Aftermarket rims 2. A Konoha decal on the sides (personal preference, hehehe!)

[@ronaldkwan9373]

there are articles that it is not recommended using an extension cord for EVs, much more to a chain of extension cords. As much as possible direct to the outlet. Not sure about the Leaf

[@izzyboy4213]

Caco, damn man. Your shoes are lovely!

[@edwin_ac]

At almost 2.8M, I really doubt if the Leaf will take off in Philippine market. Try comparing it to a similar class automobile like the Honda Civic V Turbo CVT, which cost around 1.6M pesos. The difference is 1.2M pesos. I bet that you won't be able to consume all of that 1.2M in the next 7 years (approx 171K a year) buying gas, and providing maintenance for the Civic. Those who can afford to buy a Nissan Leaf I'm sure will have another car. And that another car will not be electric.

[@njl_boboy8208]

Nice Review Sir Caco.

[@Mabrook2024]

It will take 10 years after your purchase of EV before you can actually reap the benifits. Factoring in the car cost and baterry replacement, its about 2.2M more expensive than a 1.3M petrol car. Thats 920+ full tanks of gas!

[@nordeguzman]

Government needs to find a way to reduce prices of EVs & build the necessary infras

[@jeddpires]

It would require subsidies and big tax breaks for local EV manufacturers. Long term, funding development for new EV tech is also a good idea. That said, good luck getting any from the government.

Is this a review or an advertisement? A new Leaf is efficient, but battery and machine efficiency degrade over time.
