Can The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Challenge Tesla For Long EV Range?

[@peteowens3033]

Enjoyed the review. I just purchased a 2019 Leaf SL Plus in the same color last spring. It was over three years old and had under 7K on the odometer. I have about 10K on it now. Love the car!

If you looking for a leaf, you can pick up a used one for $7,500 that would have 85% of the goodness of this thing.

[@TheGerm24]

Um, have you driven a Leaf that sells for that price. It would be from 2011-2015 probably. The older model Leaf only had a 24kwh battery to start with. The range would be more like 50-60 miles because of battery degradation. If that works for you, then great. It might not work for a lot of people. I have a 2013 Leaf so I know about the battery issues. It works for us now, but a new one would have a much longer range.

Because I've had a stroke and the fingers of my right hand are impared, I traded my Tesla S for a Leaf after trying to use the Tesla's 17 inch touchscreen nearly caused me to have an accident (several times).

Fully charged, I start with 252 miles on the battery. NO MONEY CHANGED HANDS. Loving it.

Nissan doesn't help its case by having a non liquid cooled battery and a chademo port.

[@DarkKuma12]

I very much agree

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Yes, and that is what keeps me from going with this car. I live in a hot climate and not having a thermally managed battery pack is not ideal. The good news is that second-hand Leafs are extremely cheap!

[@entrancemperium5506]

They use a fan with air conditioning. And the battery is a brand new model (probably optimized for cooling). It seems to be sufficient and thermal buildup is apparently very well controlled during charging & long trips (see videos from Bjorn Nyland)

[@bloopbloop2019]

I heard from a video that Nissan said it doesn't need it but idk. 🤷

[@entrancemperium5506]

@@bloopbloop2019 I was wrong, apparently! A few days after my previous reply I found info regarding tweets from Nissan executives who stated that there was fan air cooling like their nv200 minivan but apparently it was a mistake. So the 62 kwh has structural and chemistry changes to better handle heat, but not fan. Toghether with its upgraded capacity, it apparently does pretty well (though not as well as liquid cooling). Maybe not the best choice for people who need to make frequent very long trips with multiple sequential fast DC charging in hot climates. If level 2 is used most of the time with some fast DC maxed at 80% it is a viable choice, a simpler design (no risk of catastrophic failure due to leaks, and lower costs of reparations).

[@billvanderpol]

No mention that the Leaf still has no active thermal battery management (I.e. liquid heating/cooling), which is a huge turn-off for me.

[@pepstein]

Agreed. This is the main reason I encourage EV shoppers to avoid the Leaf, unless it's a lease at bargain basement price. I'm a bit disappointed, as he's been in the EV world long enough to know better.

[@ericschmidt1987]

This was surprising. You’d think they’d learn from the first gen.

[@EONEILL1987]

Same here and its been that way for all generations of Leaf's. According to Nissan, its the only way to make the car as "cheap and affordable" as possible. When I want to buy a car, I want to own it for at least 10 years or more. With my 600+ mile a week drives for work, I would exceed the warranty and the car itself would be worth dirt with in a couple years due to my commutes. For short drives, this car will do it for alot of people. But for long commuters, not so much. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but where I live, I barely see any Leaf's on the road. But see plenty of Tesla's and Bolts and even though its not a full EV, I see hundreds of Prius's a day. Hopefully as the technology improves, the more affordable EVs will be and Nissan will eventually make a EV that has liquid battery cooling. Think for now, until that happens with all EVs becoming affordable, Hybrids and Plug In Hybrids is where at. I'd love to own a Kia Soul EV that gets the same range as a Kona.

I find it super hard to believe they sell 400k a year, smells like a lie to me. At that price point I’d have to put about 200k miles on that car before it made financial sense and that included the tax incentive and that’s if the battery lasted that 200k miles which it won’t. Interesting fact, the battery for this car is $5500

Its almost 2 seconds faster to 60 than a fit. The interior is not half as nice, its 90% as nice. They have sold 400k altogether. Battery failure rate on the Prius is apparently 1-2 % through the life of the car. I have a 2010 Insight right now that has 324K. Battery is fine. I bought it with 208K 3 years ago and have not done a single thing to it. It still has the factory plugs and belts. I've seen two first gen leafs on CL for under $4500. 60 mile range but it i was thinking about getting one just to fool around with.

It used to be alright when the Leaf was all by itself as the only mass production EV. But now with all the competition around, it's very difficult to justify the price of this car. Here in the UK, a base *Leaf e+ Tekna* with a 62KWh battery will set you back £35,895! And if you tick a few of the options and accessories, (Propilot Park Assist, Ambient Lights, Bumper Protection, LED Fogs, Premium Design Pack), the price jumps to *£38,604.55* ! This is basically *Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus* money for a car with cheaper interior trim, less power, and less range. A base Model 3 Standard Range Plus without the Full Self-Driving Capability costs £38,900. And if you ask me, I would quietly say the Model 3 is better looking than the Nissan Leaf as well. You really need to be a staunch Nissan Leaf fan in order to be convinced to buy this car. If a fully loaded Nissan Leaf+ cost under £30,000, it would definitely be the car for the masses. And more drivers would most definitely consider it. But right now it's just too expensive for what it is. It is not value for money like it used to be at all. It's not surprising that Nissan Leaf sales are falling.

Is the Nissan Leaf more reliable than Tesla? I kind of like Tesla but I have heard they do not have the best reliability.

[@HaydenCMH]

I’m a Tesla Model 3 owner, so take that for what you will, but the entire drivetrain and battery of the car is rated for over one million miles, and will most likely outlive the body of the vehicle. Most electric vehicles are extremely reliable, because they only have about 20 moving parts. I would say the Tesla is more reliable only because of the more advanced and larger battery in the car, ensuring a longer life of the battery itself. As you charge and discharge the battery, it degrades, just like a phone. Having a larger battery can minimize these effects. All-in-all, both vehicles are sure to last quite a while.

[@pepstein]

Nissan Leaf has a bad track record for battery longevity. Of course this latest version is too new to know, but it's a big concern, as they continue to use passive air cooling for their battery packs, where Tesla and most others use active glycol liquid thermal management.

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

Virus_City The batteries do not last that long. More like one thousand charge cycles. It is so cost prohibitive to replace them as well, which is why you don’t see 200k mile EV’s being sold anywhere. Hopefully battery tech will improve and/or prices go down.

Hogh308 Well, I don’t think that is entirely truthful. Tesla has a couple vehicles with 400K+ miles on them that still work just fine, and many vehicles over 250K miles. These vehicles have been proven in the real world to last a very long time.

What car do you drive?

[@ramonhernandez3812]

Are the batteries liquid cool or air cool?

[@mazrezvani]

Air

[@ramonhernandez3812]

@@mazrezvani thanks for the reply.. that sucks for being air cool

[@MrConor159]

Passive air cooling. Active air cooling in the Zoe and ioniq works fine. Passive air cooling causes issues.

[@ramonhernandez3812]

Nothing as good ,as liquid cool. My Chevy volt is constantly turn on the cooling cycle for the batteries even if my car is off. Here in florida summer days parked all day they get hot even not in use.

Plz review the Kona EV!

[@leafo2035]

I love the 62kwh

[@Corkoth55]

Sick of going to the gas pump. I want a economy electric just for commuting. ~50 miles a day round trip. This seems too cheap tho.. Not a nice place to be for a few hours every week..

At 8:56 you start talking about the e-pedal and pretty much everything you say about it's function is wrong! It is clear to me that you have never used it or read up on the e-pedal. With it you will not have to move your foot from the gas pedal to slow down or stop the car. When you gradually lift of the gas pedal the regen will engage, giving you regen gradually depending on how much you lift your foot, eventually stopping the car using the breaks so that you stand still. Please do your homework before a review. The e-pedal is one of the best driving features of the car and other brands have started to put e-pedals in their cars.

The reviews of the 2019 leaf for Europe have 360 cam when using the parking feature. No 360 cam at all or just in that mode? Europe only options? And I'm choosing the leaf because of the #epedal, it's legit a game changer and looks better than anything Tesla IMHO. Plus, I dont need fancy, I want easy, fun and reliable. Leaf all the way!

[@Laptops1781]

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but unless gas prices go to $10 per gallon, I wouldn't even consider an electric vehicle. I know they have many benefits, but I still enjoy filling my gas tank, getting the oil changed and just the sound an engine makes

[@stephenhendricks103]

No accounting for taste, I suppose. Personally , "filling my gas tank (and) getting my oil changed" rank just above going to the dentist in terms of "enjoyment."

[@metromusic5725]

You didn't review the map pockets! DOWNVOTED!!!!
