Nissan Leaf 24 kWh 1000 km challenge part 1

[@danielr3207]

I assume this will be a 17 part series! 🤣

[@Blasterxp]

Ghehehe

[@cyrillepommerai]

😂

[@the_amazing_raisin]

One for every kWh that Frankenstein has left 😂

[@SamuraiTacos1]

yes

[@Axter6]

Bjørn has absolutely zero battery anxiety😂😂. Brave man

[@Blasterxp]

1000 km with stinds of 40km..... My god! Legend!!

[@negyesikrek]

I've been looking forward to this since Björn first announced it. Pain is best when experienced by someone else! (I'm running a Nissan E-NV200 24 kWh as daily child hauling device now for the seventh year - so this would be like trying to do 1000 km with that piece.)

[@fuller9x]

And thus the legend of TB was Bjorn. Some say he is still out there, Rolling it down a hill at Ikea to find a high voltage charger.

[@tobiash.523]

At 13:37 min It's normal for the front brakes to be warmer than the rear. Compare left and right is better.

[@delboy512]

My 24kw Leaf will be 10 years old in November and lost one cell so far, so I have 11 cells remaining. I still get up to 90 miles charge in the summer but goes down to 75 miles in the winter. 90% of my car journeys are still done in the Leaf. Thanks for the test Bjørn, you are a very patient man and a great video.

[@tonybardalen]

This!!! Is what I have been waiting for!

[@sciencetestsubject]

Since the classic ioniq electric was released in 2016, I would love to see a 1000km challenge with a 10 year old Ioniq.

[@AsekiBekovy]

I think the luxury battery chemistry of the 28kWh Ioniq and the relatively high charging power make it quite a boring challenge. It's not extremely quick, but also very acceptable...

[@SICHTKRAFT]

Björn already did a 1000km challenge with the classic ioniq. The thermal management is good enough that an ioniq with 50% battery degradation would require more stops but not significantly more time if the chargers are available to match the shorter stints. Not at all comparable and by far less interesting compared to an old Leaf with the famously bad thermal system.

[@ashton9699]

He already did it.

[@HoltAlex]

Already done, 11:55. Surprisingly good because of good efficiency and reasonable charging speed. We road trip ours pretty comfortably; 1.5-2h driving, 20 min stop and repeat.

[@alanhold2468]

front brakes are always hottest because most of the braking is done with the front brakes

[@suhail984]

Didnt expect Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi to cameo in Bjorn's video 😅 10:37 The song literally means "Man is a traveller". That's a song from a 70's Bollywood movie. Looks like the previous owner has great taste in classical hindi songs 😀

[@zyzzyva303]

How appropriate. 😂

[@sayanchx]

EDIT: No one got that Easter Egg??.. Original comment: The music was old 70s Hindi film (Hollywood) music from India... What a complete surprise... Wait a second!! Most epic Easter Egg?? The song lyrics when you played the CD... man is just a traveller

[@Blasterxp]

Tyre pressure on 70 psi, remove rear seat, tape gapes in the front. Lol

[@Peregar4ik]

it is normal for any car to have hotter brakes in the front as the braking split is usually done more towards front, back are just catching up + due to inertia, front wheels need to brake harder.

[@tomstringer3951]

Amazing video. I drove home from Liverpool the other night. Arrived at M40 Beaconsfield Ionity turn off with 7% SOC with off ramp closed for overnight maintenance. Had to beg the construction staff to move the barrier and let me get to the charger which they kindly did!

[@mikecounsell]

This is something that has given me range angst. The only thing tbh. Thought it was gonna happen to me in France on Autoroute de Anglais but I got lucky and the rest station was open like normal 😅

[@zilfondel]

This is amazing. I love your auxiliary batteries in the back with the heater, lol

[@MrTeq333]

first mistake with old leaf, mine heats up more then i go deep into low SOC and less when i stay above 30% or so, then again that would be way too many charging stops. But on my very long trips I do stop every 50 kms

[@thenerd6192]

Wow, 48kW! Having driven a 40kWh LEAF and a 38kWh IONIQ, I’ve never seen a car charge at that speed!

[@ashton9699]

The wild part is that 28 kWh Ioniq can do 75kW, they reduced it on the 38 kWh facelift.

[@Valsiphez]

Retro Bjørn - what the 1000 challenge would have been 10 years ago. For this dedication we should all become patreons ❤

[@proboxpepper6752]

I have about 60km of range on my electric scooter with a 1.2kwh battery haha, nice video Bjorn!

[@v1nnyc]

Hey Bjørn, can I have my CD back please 😂

[@rakibalhasan1]

😂

[@esaedvik]

Time to dust up a Renault Twizy.

[@AA-qg2hu]

I’m just about to watch this. My first EV in 2012 was a Fluence 22kwh, so I know this will be loooooong! See you at Xmas 😂

[@nadeemahmed324]

My wife told me that song on the CD is a Hindi bollywood song. It's called something like "we are travellers in this world " so it's perfect for you. It's very famous.. apparently.

[@showme360]

We have 2 Nissan Leaf's a 2011 that has done 72k miles (115,872 km) and a 2015 that has done 71.5k miles. The older one is used for local runs and 40 mile commutes to work, and its been doing that for us for the last 6 years. The 2015 which has bidirectional charging not does the long runs in the summer months, but also runs our heating system ASHP in the winter months. The car although 15 year old design has been amazing for us saving us thousands of pounds on energy costs. Best investment yet!! It maybe an old design but its ongevity has proven its design and build qualities.

[@decimal1815]

only 9/12 bars on the battery health meter - no wonder the capacity was so bad.. anyway another fun video!

[@elit3darkness]

10:36 Guaranteed that CD was a gift from Waldemar!

[@fernandinand]

This was epic!! My prediction on ~19h was on target! Congrats Bjorn 💪

[@broderwow]

What next? Dacia Spring? :D Funny episode. I am wondering if it would not be faster if you were driving ~80 or even ~70km/h fewer stops (lower no. of detours, connecting/disconecting) and more time for the battery to cool down? Anyway, I am waiting for part 2 and 3 I guess :)

[@davidspencer7254]

Think the spring would do a little better. Well, the CCS one.

[@mikapaaso5184]

Finnish podcast "EV men" just did end to end of Finland with Dacia spring. 1450km, 29hrs. 😂

[@swecreations]

Coming from someone who owns a Renault Zoe with 22kW AC charging, I can guarantee you that driving at 70km/h would not be faster. And almost certainly not 80km/h either. Maybe 85 km/h though.

[@broderwow]

@swecreations when I watched this I remembered the leaf 2 test Bjorn did in Thailand and he was actually faster by going much slower because of lower consumption and because he was able to keep the battery at lower temp.

[@snofan9353]

EV Driving Masterclass... what an Epic test 💪💪💪 And agree with @Lufthansa787... A comparison to the similar age Zoe Q210 with 43 kw AC load would be great. I guess it would be a lot quicker. Less degradation, more consistent charging. You can use mine... but 1700 km away from Oslo... so can´t drive it there for you for a 1000 km Test 😂

[@Lifesparkers]

Finally Björn! I was waiting for this a whole week! The ID3 videos were not interesting. This is cool stuff!!!

[@JontesTechTips]

I would love a ZE40 1000km challenge! 22KW AC charging (relatively fast compared to other models) but no DC charging!

[@Fredric169]

This looks like a 2 day Journey with about 20 - 25 stops. Brave man!!!!

[@mortenvollaug6530]

Love this test! I have a similar 10 year old Leaf in daily use 😅.

[@Lufthansa787]

Please try ZOE 22 Kwh and charge with 43 kW. It have air cooling. Would be nice to compare

[@strahlberger]

Was a great Live Stream

[@mikecounsell]

DP for the win 15:56

[@JoshuaStringfellow1]

Would be interesting to see what the best result could be with a 10 year old EV, presumably it's going to be a Model S.

[@HoltAlex]

I would think so, non-tesla maybe Ioniq 28kWh?

[@Trades46]

Old enough to remember the Leaf 30 kWh was cutting edge on this channel.

[@manueldi_77]

I celebrate that Bjorn found out that his car has a CD player with a CD still in from the previous owner 🎉🎉

[@randomaccount53793]

15 degrees outside? That's t-shirt weather where I'm from. Why go to all the extra effort of lugging around extra batteries when you can just put on an extra jacket for free heat.

[@bakakun]

Hey Björn, i dont think i saw this anywhere in the video, but what is the cycle count on that bat pack? To reach a 40% degrade on that chemistry it must be in the 1000's!

[@yoyyaesta4808]

409 km / 7:15 => For sure at least 18 hours. But, can be less than 24 hours ?

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

When I saw the plug in heaters instant switch off 😕

[@C4LCH3X4S]

07:06 10km left, SOC 27,8% 🤣

[@BremboT]

This would be impossible in Canada. Chargers are often 300km apart, and those are 7.5kW chargers.😂

[@leos7471]

Not the case. I’ve taken my 2013 Leaf on road trips before. Total of about 1500km in BC (not all in one go of course). Doable, but for entertainment purposes only of course.

[@Asdosie]

Holy fuck this will be an amazing series LOL

[@TheTuareg]

Shieeet, finally, Bjorn! Couldn't wait for the edited version! You like a ninja! Well done! Greetings from Russia!

[@thecuriousone9342]

3:55 oh yeah absolutely right, we have to😉

[@Dr-EV]

It'd be good to know if someone retrofitted LFP cells into a leaf and how it 'gating' would compare.

[@catalicos]

Haw Lee! What's next?! A 10y old Golf GTE going in EV mode only? 🤣🤣

[@mmm1826]

Omg do a 40kwh leaf 🎉🎉🎉

[@terl99]

I wonder if this challenge would be possible outside of norway.

[@amconsole]

It would. A lot of northern Europe has a charger every 40km (25miles) or so.

[@XFDADX]

Where I live it would be perfectly fine...

[@lukasseth18]

Do one with the smart EQ Fortwo!

[@swecreations]

Maybe not heating up the cabin with the ecoflow would have reduced the amount of rapidgating?

[@sindoorbelic8036]

@Bjorn. Release of this chalange was as slow as the chalange itself 😂.

[@Roadrider-lf3gl]

I have an E-Golf and I have to ask.... WHYYYY??? lol

[@davidz1264]

He really did it 😆💪🏼👍🏼

[@lionufo]

Where Can I rent Tesla in Norway? Not more than 100$ per day

[@rakibalhasan1]

10:34 when Bjørn was confused what type of song it is It is actually an Indian song

[@MZ-tm1tw]

It should be possible to upgrade the very old Nissan Leaf to more modern better larger battery pack to improve range. Maybe even possible to replace and upgrade charging electronics to more modern systems for higher charging speeds. There are a lot of companies in Europe who specialise in rebuilding old cars whit fossil engine system to electric vehicles. The upgrade whit larger battery pack should be quite easy to do. Rebuilding electrical systems for high speed 100+ Kw/h charging speed is a more advanced project to realise. Video series whit upgrading the very cheap and old Nissan Leaf would be perfect video content 😇👍. The big question is it more cheap to upgrade a old electric car to modern standards then buying a newer model whit better specs . Small upgrade to 20-30 Kw/h battery pack would drastically improve range to 200-km which for a small efficient city car is acceptable. upgrading a old electrical car for better specs is more sustainable than buying new and makes a lot of sense if buyers can save money on buying re used upgraded electric cars.

[@jasonfournier]

Damn it gets cold their in the summer!

[@AlmightyPyro]

how do you get all those stats in your phone?

[@bjornnyland]

LeafSpy

[@charlesbelanger1940]

With this older degraded LEAF you shall drive at 90 km/h or less to maximise range and lower battery warming by discharging.

[@Liton999]

I think the best option here would be to throw it of the cliff, and take a bus (or train if you insist on electric drive..).

[@iamthedoctor3915]

You're absolutely crazy 🤣

[@nohcam22]

Frankenstein!!!

[@ahaveland]

I've been looking for a Type 2 to euro connector adapter so i can connect a normal mains distribution block to 4x 250W mains chargers so I can use a charging station to charge my ebike at 1kW. Ones I've seen on aliexpress don't put any voltages on the control pins, so probably won't work. Anyone any experience with these?

[@moestrei]

The adapter does not need to put volts onto CP or PP pins....just a resistor between CP and Earth.

[@Ravindratech7598]

@Bjørn Nyland I am from India and this is old Bollywood music. You should try to include some of these in the sound test as we would further see if the singer's voice is clear. I have listened to these music and once you get used to it, you will start to appreciate these high quality bollywood clasics. @10:40

[@SamuraiTacos1]

i wish circle k in the usa rolled out chargers

[@vhol93]

Much respect! Hahaha warrior

[@deinhart404]

I love it❤😊😊

[@Shilik]

I was thinking 350km in Fiat 500e was a hard trip, but 1000km in Leaf...

[@freas8520]

180Wh/km? I get below that in my 2,6 tonne, lemon Model X 2016!

[@huberttomczyk4801]

Sezon 01 :)

[@NobodzzZ]

Still Like the 1st Gen Leaf...

[@karmakh]

Your pain is my pleasure.

[@faustinpippin9208]

"Nissan Leaf 24 kWh" but only 13.4kWh usable? 2:05 11:00 damn 45KW charging for a 13.4kWh is like charging a 100KWH tesla at 335KW

[@gertk2303]

The original Ioniq could charge with more than 60 kW and it had only a 28 kWh battery, so you could top it up quite quickly. With the later 38 kWh Ioniq charging was around 40 kW max (because of lower pack voltage) which was a dealbreaker for me.

[@Rothammel1]

ohh no, part 1 was over way too fast

[@Nelson-Man]

For this car a battery swap system would really make a difference.

[@mikecounsell]

2.5kW 😃

[@trevortucker1]

Series 1 of 6 Episode 1 of 9 Part 1 of 4 Time to turn over a new leaf. 😂
