New Nissan Leaf e-Pedal & ProPilot | Fully Charged

Robert tests the new 40kWh Nissan Leaf by driving it up a volcano, and then driving back down without touching the brake pedal.
We'd like to thank Nissan for taking us to Tenerife and looking after us while we were there, and for the use of the car of course.

I like how international that video is. A man from the UK drives a car from an Asian car manufacturer with german number plates on an island, that belongs to Spain.

[@bobbiecurran3380]

Verdampft und zugevaped the European model is made in the UK, Sunderland.

[@nhcs2k]

Bobbie Curran I know that. That's why I wrote asian car manufacturer. Should I better name it asian car brand?

[@CharlesGregory]

.. and I'm watching it in Australia!

[@formula1ccr8]

And me from the Netherlands and I am originally from the Philippines :)

[@laszlosteiner]

Verdampft und zugevaped And the Asian manufacturer is actually owned by the French, haha.

[@ProfSimonHolland]

Beautiful film....some FAB shots and nice editing.....oh ...and the car was cool.

[@ignasb]

haha, exactly what I wanted to comment. Really nice videography indeed!

[@Glenhh]

I totally agree...amazing shots. Do you or anyone know why they don't upload in 4k? These shots definitly deserve to be watched in 4k!

[@jameslovestokyo]

I was being super cynical and assumed that Nissan provided all journalists with B-roll filmed on location? Allows journos to drive up and down the hill without stopping and starting to capture rolling shots and drone footage.

[@naybobdenod]

Hello Simon. Yes, it sure was a delightful film. Some of the shots were superb with the right accompanying music. Sincerely.

[@SamHocking]

What is the music used in this please?

[@96Rolling]

Your video filming quality exceeds the level of the average TV movie all the time...

[@knapptimezzz]

Trolliverpust idk how they do it but the production quality always just blows me away every episode

[@US4Sam]

I think they do a great job with the filming. But color grading is off, in my opinion. At least in this episode, there was way to much orange in the lights and it was well too contrasty. But that's just my opinion. Great Show, guys!

[@nafizhaq4554]

Slog 2 with Sony a7 iii

[@markyboyclark]

Great episode Robert and Team. LAUGHED so much at the end "smug mode". lol

[@abyssunderground]

I did too, and then immediately had images of Kryten in my head! Amazing video Robert, keep it up!

[@SnakeyUk08]

hehe was expecting a kryten silly walk off at the end too :)

[@dwftube]

The production values on this channel just get better and better.

[@relledk]

Here in Denmark, Nissan are selling the Leaf with free charging for two years including a homecharger. So free charging everywhere in Denmark.

[@torchlord11]

That is a great idea, a much better idea than raising the gas/ petrol 30% as they did in France.

[@mundutik]

I bought a 2018 Nissan leaf in November last year (in Japan). I had read about the lack of liquid cooling and I was a bit worried, but it does not seem to be an issue. As I often go hiking I have driven it to the mountain -20 degrees Celsius and I never noticed any performance difference. I also made relatively long drives such as Tokyo Nagoya always fast charging at 50kw and also did not have any issues, always charged quickly. I have never done more than two fast charges without a long stop, so I do not know what would happen if you fast charge 3 times or more in a row, but at least for me I am never planning to do such a long trip without longer stops. I am quite satisfied with the new leaf and I love de e-pedal it is so convenient specially going down hill or up hill as in this video. The other day I had to drive an ICE for the first time after several months using only the LEAF and when I heard all the noise the unresponsive acceleration I was really surprised with myself as I had never really noticed before. It was like going back to a steam train from a bullet train. There is no way I can go back to an ICE.

[@lanceareadbhar]

Great. I too was concerned about the battery, but so far so good.

[@Prodigious1One]

Very cool! I have a 2013 Leaf. I don't want to buy another car, but if I need to, I'll look for a second generation Leaf.

[@julianklune5468]

As with all of you recent content, the production quality is amazing. Beautiful shots, great editing and an awesome host. Fully charged has gone a long way and I am very thankful for your great work. You are awesome.

[@hbaron2698]

Thanks Robert, a great Leaf review! I now don't only want a Nissan Leaf, I really need a warm holiday. The frost outside this morning, seems just a little bit colder after watching that video!

[@miiva3]

Thanks for making these informative, high quality videos, and educating the public (especially in the US) about EVs. Kudos!

[@AthanImmortal]

"Smug mode" aw

[@keithodalaigh4334]

I was 90% sure I was gonna get the Leaf, but your review definitely pushed me over the line. Thank you for such excellent production quality, and an interesting review!

[@kylewilloughby4648]

I recently discovered this channel, and I love it. Real information about real cars delivered in an easy to understand format, absolutely brilliant. I'm sold on the new leaf too, soon as these come to New Zealand I want one

[@tonyafrost7749]

I have 2016 LEAF and LOVE my car, I am looking forward to all the new stuff when I get my next leaf. Thanx for such a beautiful video.

[@dlittlester]

I always watch this show full screen. The Hi Def is amazing. The show is amazing. Thanks for keeping up the keeping up!

[@ignasb]

well, these videos are eye-candies indeed! Good job, FullyCharged!

[@Benjamin_Jehne]

...The quality of this production is so damn good. Congrats to the whole team... .

[@brucekennedy5274]

Ahhh... the video I've been waiting for! So beautifully shot Nissan should be paying you, this video will boost sales!! Already test driven one of these and was totally smitten, bizarre as it may sound I had my eye on a Golf GTE, but found it a bit underwhelming when I tried it out. This New Leaf is no race car sure, but trust me, it has plenty of pepp to put a little smile on your face. Getting mine soon - cant wait!! Amazing work as always thankyou Robert, Jonny and your incredible production team.

[@armuk]

GLORIOUS cinematography!!

[@TheRealTobias]

BEAUTIFUL shots that could be straight from a Nissan commercial, Robert honest and charming as ever, you got all the unit conversions... Great Episode of Fully Charged!!

[@phil36310]

Robert, it's nice and pleasant to follow you along. Thanks for this episode. Very well done too !

[@spacep0d]

Thoroughly-enjoyed, thanks!

[@fullychargedshow]

Thank you!

[@douglarsen4801]

Came back to this after gas went through the roof, Fully Charged has the best content. The Leaf is truly impressive! I never thought I could being a 2 SUV family but that's just ancient thinking. Of course you can, its just about using available space. Strongly considering one

[@effyleven]

THANK YOU for what you do, Robert. It is very valuable. (We just got back from our first visit to Lanzarote. Roads very similar, and very good. Volcanic landscape also very much the same.)

[@gp2003gt]

Thank you Robert, I sort of needed a boost after the multiple rapid charger videos that show heat issues after the second charge.

[@TeambitDK]

Must say I really enjoy these episodes. Guys you have climbed to beyond professional standards these past month, and I have been with you for some years now. Jolly good show! :)

[@hemathotak9984]

BBC needs to hire this editing crew. Beautiful presentation and beautiful clip overall

[@mangofire]

I wish I could like this more than once! Nicely done folks.

[@Just-SomeGuy]

Love your presentation style Robert, please, please, please don't change it.

[@steveclarke9036]

Beautifully filmed and edited along with the sort of information that we really want to know. Great job, thank you. After looking at this video, I think I need to reconsider what I was going to get next. The Tekna model has all the toys except pro pilot parking as standard. I wonder how much the 300 mile range will cost.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Fantastic presentation. Love the touches of humour

[@cpoable]

Beautiful shots, great informational review! I subscribed!

[@TassieEV]

Amazing review and fantastic cinematography by Mark(@inksharkman) thank you Robert(& Mark) :)

[@colin.d]

I am getting my Leaf e+ in a weeks time so that was all very useful, thanks.

[@cibie01]

So well put together episode really enjoyed that and a amazing car to learn about.

[@Jorvik-The-Poor]

Ours is on order. Can't wait!

[@richardburden6056]

I recently had the opportunity to drive the new Leaf, I was cheeky and got it as a courtesy car for the day. I still drive an ICE, I can't afford the upfront cost of an EV yet, but it's something I want to do in the (hopefully near) future. I was really impressed with how it drove, the e-pedal certainly took some getting used to, but it was so nice to get that bit of extra regen when coming up to roundabouts/junctions. Even with reduced range because of the cold, I was really impressed with the new leaf, and I actually managed to gain a few miles of range on a 25 mile journey, thanks to careful control and regen. I wasn't too fussed with the ProPilot, I felt it moved around the lane too much for my taste, but worked happily enough on A roads.

[@decimal1815]

The Leaf just makes me want to go on road trips.

[@randellhayes6686]

Great video and a great location....

[@Good-and-Geeky]

Loving my 2018 Nissan Leaf. Driven 11k km so far and love the ePedal and the ProPilot Assist. Epedal is always on for me so when I'm not using Pro Pilot Assist it is ready to go for me. Pro Pilot Assist and the intelligent cruise control makes it so I am much less fatigued after a long drive. For the price, it is a super car. I drive it every chance I get. Sometimes I set a trip up for myself just so I can go for a drive in my Nissan Leaf 2018. The Rapidgate issues don't bother me. The charging times fit in perfectly with how I like to drive and take breaks to have a rest. I don't find myself getting impatient while the charging is taking place. I do what I have to do and when I get back to the car there is enough in the battery for the next stage of the journey.

[@davehorton946]

Great video i have the new leaf and i love the car so nice to drive still finding out things. Cheers Dave.

[@iancoxsey1321]

What lovely smooth, un-potholed roads they have in Tenerife!

[@olivergonzalez4574]

Thanks for coming to Tenerife. I saw the car when you were recording in Santa Cruz in Carnival!!!

[@phillipzirges9867]

Very enjoyable to watch and very informative. I love my 2016 30Kwh and I’m looking forward to either a 2018 or 2019 model.

[@jacksonbangs6603]

Fantastic footage and music. Just makes the new Nissan Leaf that much more attractive!

[@MrCdob77]

Very well produced video.

[@TW-fx2jx]

beautiful footage

[@2nd3rd1st]

The cinematography in this is on Top Gear level, very pretty and professional indeed.

[@TanakaTsikira]

LOVE THIS CHANNEL

What an episode, wow! An electric car in the beautiful Tenerife! I am now so jealous sitting in the office in London... :)

[@erinthecat4206]

Great review, of what I think will be a game changing car for many folks hovering on the brink of buying now or waiting till 19/20 when more EV's are supposed to hit market. Cant wait for the review of the home charging also. Bring it on, I say.

[@ninjaz5736]

Someone get the editors of this video a job with the BBC (or ITV etc...), that was definitely a masterpiece (don't stop doing these though!)

[@mariuscostinas2189]

Great quality review and superb sceneries

[@christianedelmann6880]

Not to mention your production value of the videos looks amazing

[@DumitruGrubii]

Great video! Thanks! I hope to be able to own one of these in next years.

[@shuashua958]

I love this show. I have last years leaf and I love it. but I am glad to see the 40 kw version come out. I can't wait for a 100kw battery in a leaf. That is the standard that really is usable.

[@makatron]

Nice drone shots! This review looked so cinematic.

[@slaughterround643]

I'm so excited for this

[@Nichen]

Wow that was just beautiful!! Nice shots! And nice car! :)

[@JustinGrayston]

Not only a good car but some amazing photography. Awesome job. (I am hoping for a 60kw this year, my weekly commute is 180 miles each way)

[@theta2170]

Another visually stunning episode. Why have you guys not won all sorts of awards yet??

[@JasonBaldry]

Beautifully filmed and produced.

[@MichaelMerten]

That's one good review.

[@Johny40Se7en]

That's a lovely intro, the music, trees, the whole cinematography and that you said that the car's charged up from 100% renewable energy, great video. Epedal will take some getting used to for me, I'm a bit of a 'petrol head' and I love the pressing of a clutch and changing gear, especially in my car, the gear changing is like a bolt action rifle, not that I've ever used a bolt action rifle, I'm guessing that's how slick and nice it would feel. Oh and to Robert, you're so patient with that range thing going up the big hill, I would have just floored it to see how much the range would have dropped but then maybe not being able to reach the destination =P

[@TheCrazyCatHouse]

I have a a Leaf e+. So happy with it!

[@WisamAlRawi]

Great video production and commentary. Job well done!

[@rbutta8011]

THANKS ROBERT GREAT SHOW YOU HAVE . MELB /AUSTRALIA

[@therealcaldini]

Truly sumptuous film.

[@john3Lee]

Excellent review.... In other news.... The roads in Tenerife appear to be amazing !!

[@tn8584]

New episodeeeeeee. Wohoooooooooooo. On a more serious note - when are we going to see what happened with the Tesla Estate (stationwagon) conversion ?

[@theta2170]

They filmed it last weekend, but I think he mentioned that they have a few more finished episodes to publish before that one.

[@AnalogX64]

awesome cinematography and review :)

[@TCP0011708]

Great review. Thank you very much

[@thegreenman4898]

its a nice car, gives me fond memories of a holiday in tenerife as well.

[@LemonTeaLeaf]

Amazing production value, love the show guys, waited till lunch time so i could watch it in full HD at my desk at work :)

[@elazaro]

So surprised to find you filming in Tenerife, my home land!! And actually I grew up in El Médano, which is the area where the video starts :) Great to see you there!

[@motogee3796]

beautiful location, well chosen

[@meansq]

Those beautiful oil platforms in water was the highlight of this video :) 0:49

[@Peter-ke7wy]

I bought a 2019 Leaf Tekna 40kwh about six weeks ago and I must say the car is great. I drive using e pedal and pro pilot all the time.

[@kebruya]

Love the scenery

[@Kelsdoggy]

Robert I love you 😍 great film!!

[@johnnyViDeO]

Well shot and edited video.

[@kenfarley957]

WOW gorgeous area and videography.

[@haraldosan]

I got my Leaf yesterday. I wonder how I was able to drive without e-pedal all the years. This feature is really stunning,-)

[@grant3226]

Great review Rob. Just found out every Leaf now comes with an onboard 6.6kw charger as apposed to our 2011 Leaf with is 3.3kw

[@dannytq]

Best car show on KZbin

[@ChrisMcEvoy72]

Beautiful video and a great car. Can't wait to try one to compare it to my 2017 Tekna :)

[@john211murphy]

Doesn't Robert Llewellyn have a hard life (envy mode engaged). Great report. Keep up the good work.

[@douglastynyparc]

Lovely video :)

[@sucknorrisatchuckboris2713]

this video was perfect to fall asleep to

[@starick1981]

Great video, amazing views, quality is much better than top gear today! Really nice, fairly reasonable priced car for today's tech level. Pleaaase! Make it with 500 km range on full charge - it would be the end of ICE era for the car itself!!!

[@stevendukes149]

Cant wait till I get my first ev.possibly a Nissan leaf.such a beautiful looking car.

[@mahargrekab]

Excellent stuff 👍🏼

[@VantagePointVideoGarage]

A really nice video but I think that’s three reviews now that you’ve done on this Leaf and not tested it’s charging capabilities. That’s a big statement to make that it’s better than the old Leaf when it can’t complete a long journey with more than two CHAdeMO charges as quick as a 24kw Mk1.

[@karenjcosme]

Spain, Morocco, Tenerife, Cape Verde (my family is from Brava and I haven't been) would be a fun trip. Beautiful. The views must have been phenomenally spectacular prior to the industrial upheaval - one reason why nations conquered foreign lands, I'm sure. Not a fan of the LEAF but, as always is the case, a beautiful and informative session from FullyCharged. Thank you!

[@karenjcosme]

i'm watching again with the sound off.

[@simonthomas5367]

Brilliant film guys, thanks. Thinking about trading in my 2013 Mini Cooper for something electric next year. The Leaf is definitely on my list!

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

man, you got me excited when you said "look at johnny's review". i had to replay that, then realized.... right.... not me.. baahhaaha! anyway i did a 2012 leaf review on my channel if anyone wants a comparison. Not as nice as this video but comprehensive none the less. Bravo guys! You keep getting better and better as you keep producing more and more. i love it!

[@TheKimmer1969]

I must commed the video production team, well done!

[@mtty1988]

It’s the one we have all been waiting for the leaf with e-pedal and I drive yay

[@tjam4229]

Matthew Stamp, this e-pedal is a gimmick, and a bad one at that. Nissan has it applying friction brakes when you lift off accelerator and thereby wasting valuable kinetic energy as heat into brake pads. Nissan needs to study more electric vehicles like Tesla, Bmw i3, Chevy Bolt. All these cars can come to a complete stop using regeneration only. No friction brakes needed.

[@MCSMIK]

Really interested in their solar panel / vehicle to grid offering. Hoping you guys will go nuts on it in some 20 minute video in near future. We just bought a new house, so planning ahead what solar solution to have. And the Leaf with the panels / battery / vehicle to grid system does seem like a very appealing future purchase (I’ll wait for the longer range version)

[@ZenithQuinn]

i'm just picturing your poor cameraman at 6.02 having to climb over those jagged rocks haha. Dedication to his craft!

[@Vermonseidel]

ZenithQuinn drone my friend, drone
