We have had one for 18 months and its a brilliant car, would buy one again.👍

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mozabeta7003]

I really appreciate your reviews. One of the better car review channels on YT.

[@TotallyEV]

Thank you for the kind comment, really appreciated!

[@johnminshall242]

A likeable car that I could consider shortlisting, when I’m ready to buy my first EV in a few years time!

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@anish15884]

Nice review - however I like that fact it has normal door handles instead of the comical ones they have on other Evs as well as a rear wiper . Besides the ev6 is so low it’s a hatchback

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@matthewtaylorwade1171]

Good review will you be doing a audio sound system

[@TotallyEV]

Thank you! Yes indeed, stay tuned :)

[@mtumasz]

Good review as uaual🙏🏻 One tiny correction: Nissan’s 2nd EV is called ENV-200 and has been on sale mostly as a van but it does exist in the passenger format

[@TotallyEV]

Thank you! Yes you're absolutely right, but in the consumer space, it's their second.

[@spsmith45]

We dud a test drive recently. Lovely interior and exterior design, very quiet, but rather lumpy urban ride for my taste. The big battery 87kwh doesn’t do much better than rivals’ 77kwh batteries, so I wonder how efficient it is. EV Database scores it a bit low in that department. Thanks for the review as always. The Auto EV reviewer raved over this car.

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing! Yes, good point regarding the efficient and size of the battery pack - still as far as consumers are impacted, its range did well in our tests. Indeed, feels a bit too wobbly; wonder if it'll be addressed in future revisions!

[@minniesaab7255]

👍🏻 it !

[@TotallyEV]

Glad you like it!

[@jameschapman4824]

Good review. However these cars are about 10 grand over priced. IMHO

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks, glad you liked the review! And thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@user-xr6jk8gx1u]

To be honest mate you really went OTT on refinements. Which would only add lots of extra costs. You are a bit over fussy, fella 😂

[@TotallyEV]

Or actually comparing and contrasting with alternatives. Sorry for not being part of Nissan's marketing team.

[@scottcameron8936]

Strange I drove one and thought the ride was good, and that's coming from Mercedes. E pedal is not important to me with auto hold in play so not sure why people bang on about it. I'm wondering if the range on this test is affected by weather and not much point in comparing it to an MG4 when it's a different class of car.

[@TotallyEV]

Glad you liked it - did you test it at higher speeds too?

[@scottcameron8936]

Yes on a bypass so up to 60ish mph. All good for me. So good I bought one.! I've tried EV6, Ioniq 5, EQA and Polestar. This was the best for by far.

[@TotallyEV]

@@scottcameron8936 glad you liked it that much; enjoy!

[@hendrihendrik]

Some time driving on behind Ev is frustrating ,specially when using one pedal drive ,no brake light on when stoped or in rainy high way road is difficult to see the Ev car brake light because using One pedal drive.

[@TotallyEV]

Actually you'll find that the brake light will work when you're lifting off the accelerator pedal - we've even got a short video on it: kzbin.infojviIfeb48kw?feature=share

[@k5149]

The 329 range is the advance model (per Nissan)

[@TotallyEV]

Indeed, as pointed out in the video!

[@k5149]

@@TotallyEV okay, i might have missed that. Heard at the start you mention the evolve +

[@TotallyEV]

@@k5149 no worries, it was shown just before when comparing the battery pack models! But indeed, the Advance model does have the longest range (vs Evolve) by a mere 7 miles!

[@k5149]

@@TotallyEV thanks! Good review! I found the Tesla ride harsher and more annoying but it’s a personal preference

[@TotallyEV]

@@k5149 no worries and thank you! In what way did you find the Tesla (presume the Model Y?) harsher?

[@valleysofneptune]

Just cancelled my order after waiting 4 months as Nissan won’t deliver till 2025!!! Farcical

[@TotallyEV]

Sorry to hear that!

[@lONlQ]

This is a more joke than bz4x.. buy id4 or ioniq5

[@TotallyEV]

Not tried the Toyota yet, but would be interesting to see how that does in our tests!

[@fredrikh8070]

Have you tested the Ariya and the bz4x? No, I didn’t think so…

[@user-xr6jk8gx1u]

Won't buy either of these cars mate
