Nissan Leaf 24kw - 207 Mile Journey & Rapid Charging (UK)

[@EVmanjapan]

What a fascinating time capsule this video has become! Planning with Microsoft excel before the car did it all itself!

[@bazzer54ify]

it's been great watching your video don't stop making them answered a lot of my questions thank you

[@Jamesandkate]

We've had our leaf for a year now, 16000 miles and it's our main car. We're never have an internal combustion car again especially with the new leaf having 155 mile range. Got to say though, we never plan anything to do with charging, we wing it and so far have been lucky 😊 Great vid, hope for some more, enjoy the car.

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+James Coates There's more in my channel!

[@decimal1815]

These videos are now interesting as part of the history of early EVs.. keep them!

[@BumbleBee-gf2tm]

Had a 38kw Ioniq on lease and handed it back. Now waiting to pick up my used 2016 Leaf 24kw. Rewatching your old Leaf videos with great interest. 😀

[@benpaynter]

Great video, thanks for posting. It's interesting to get proper insights from people using electric cars in the real world as opposed to journalists undertaking a review based upon a few hours with the car

[@misterelectric3701]

Notice that lots of the Ecotricity charges are empty now they have a cost to recharge but there are more and more chargers available now, which is a good thing! Thanks for the videos, good work!

[@bazzer54ify]

thanks.cant wait to get mine 😊

[@paulcarnall791]

Thought I'd go back to the beginning . Started watching around march 2017 so new to me.

[@elijahbritt2418]

It was fun to watch your journey m8.

[@iBradWatson]

Good song at the end! Thanks for sharing! Thinking about buying a 2016 Leaf in a month or so. 107 mile range should be less range anxiety.

[@JamesMoore627]

FYI The 'lock' and 'auto' settings don't apply to the rapid charge port. This is controlled by the charger in these situations. It locks while charging and unlocks when it's finished. Charging can only be stopped with your card or if someone hits the big red emergency stop button.

[@13thCP]

Up to 80% that was roughly 41kw charge rate which is pretty good on the Chademo for that 24kwh leaf. Wish they would use the CCS standard but that won't happen. Any idea if they've put in any Chademo 2.0 stations there? That bumps it up to 400kw rate if it supported it. Looking at a 2016 leaf s right now, hopefully will have it by end of day!

[@grahamarnold2591]

hi there --- when on ecotricity charger.electric pump--mins indicated in screen --is mins plugged in on charge--not mins to attain a charge.... good videos well done...

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Graham Arnold That's how long you've been charging for.

[@graemewilliams6150]

oooh I live i the PR7 postcode area, and not too far from the address you put into your sat nav.

[@Brianj162]

Great video

[@DCTag]

Great video!

[@WRAND2208]

hey good effort in the video making.thanks for posting. btw how does the mileage act against air conditioning (turned on all along) at summer.lets say a scenario in daily commute.what kind of percentage loss in the range.looking for a general answer since the answer may depend on lot of facts.thank you!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Check out my day commuting in the leaf vid. Answers pretty much that.

[@tarassu]

If you keep the car to yourself (for longer than 60 000 miles or smth) use battery saving mode if more is not needed.

[@aedale1]

Can't believe you were hand filming whilst driving!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Masturbating too!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

In Bradford by any chance?

[@TheBeggFamily]

But at 30p/kWh rapid chargers??

[@samp6162]

Awesome! Thanks for the video :P I need an EV

[@andrask.485]

Hi. What is that half circle dial showing just on the left side of the speedo meter?

[@simbukka]

Very nice video :)

[@pigknickers]

Thanks for the vid ELM. I'm seriously considering getting one. Just tell me this if you could - you put £500 down and £200pcm for a brand new vehicle? Have I got this right? Thanks for the reply! Ha just found your reply. You now think it's £1500 down?

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+pigknickers between £1500 + £2500 depending on the offer. Use carwow.

[@pigknickers]

Electric Leaf Man thanks v much

[@ab-js2gw]

13:00-13:13 getting high in the EV test

[@jaybeeff1]

Hi. Thanks for your great video. I really want a Leaf but where can I get one for £500 deposit and £200 pm?

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+John Fernley Try Carwow (used them many times). My dealer matched the offer I got from a dealer on there. I believe the deposit is higher now though. Around £1500.

[@jaybeeff1]

Thank you. I will.

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Also go for the 30kw version which is out next month.

[@jaybeeff1]

Yes I do several trips of 100 - 150 round trip weekly.

[@ThatElectricLife]

Hi, how long did it take you to do the 100 odd miles including the charge stops?

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Couple of hours ish?

[@ThatElectricLife]

+Electric Leaf Man Thanks for the reply :). we are thinking of getting one for my wife's daily commute. She does about 50 miles around trip. we are worried about the range in winter as she will have our 9 month old baby with her. We are looking at a used 24kwh. Do you think we will be okay? thanks

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

You'd have to try hard to get below 65miles tbh. Just make sure it's an Acenta or Tekna model LEAF as the Visia has the old heatpump that sucks range in winter. The Acenta or Tekna have a new gen pump which only loses 5-10miles when very cold. Whats your budget?

[@ThatElectricLife]

+Electric Leaf Man Aw thanks for the info. so she hypothetically she drove like a boy racer with the climate control blasting we shouldn't get below 65ish range? Budget wise, looking at around £12-13k. I've seen a Tekna I like but it's in Glasgow so be a crazy drive home lol

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Wait til sept-Dec and that will get you a 30kw.

[@DannyKeeley]

what if you don't have a drive way, how would you charge it at home ?

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Danny Keeley Worth a watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJPHf2icqch8aLM

[@DannyKeeley]

thanks

[@biologicallyyaseen]

did you have to lease the battery?

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Yaseen M Didn't have to but it was cheaper over the term.

[@bazzer54ify]

to electric leaf man have you tryed leaf up high incline hills I have garrowby hill on the way to the coast will it get me up it .Getting a new leaf in September

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Barry Scruton Easy, it'll just use more power. They have 110bhp.

[@SANCHEEVAN]

How long the battery will be retained its capacity ?

[@markplain2555]

Apparently if you charge only up to 80% and don't discharge lower than 20% the battery will last for ever (this is not the same as a cell phone battery). But I don't do that, I just unplug and drive and don't really pay attention to baby'ing the car. Nissan guarantees the battery for 8 years, so I should be good. I know of people who after 4 years of driving have lost 1 bar that means probably your range has gone down by about 10 to 20kms

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

24kw Leaf has a 5 year warranty, the 30kw has 8. There's no real way of knowing as none are old enough. They can be refurbed though so always get them back to full strength. Don't forget there are many batteries on the Leaf, not just 1 big one.

[@markplain2555]

And I'm starting to see 'aftermarket' batteries on the market now. For $2,000 you can extend the range by 50kms. Sounds like a lot of money but for what you save on fuel, it' actually worth it. I don't need an additional 50kms of range so need for the extra battery.

[@gvvq-pi5ml]

Hi All, i have just looked on Glyn Hopkins website and a New Leaf is nearly £30k, thats way above what i want to pay, a s/h one is nearly 20k now, they seemed to have doubled in price in about 2 years...a few years about s/h was 7 to 10k and new was 17k...things changed a bit....somebody making a lot of money somewhere....Fred. Essex uk

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

g4vvq1983 Not really. The battery size is double the size remember.

[@ITGeek123]

Late to the comment but electric cars popularity has doubled so prices even for second hand EV's has sky rocketed

[@gingernutter1979]

Hi Lorna!!!!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Daniel Davison You recognise her? How'd you see the vid?

[@gingernutter1979]

Hey! Your video just appeared in my recommended video section! Was in the same year at school as Lorna here in Warrington!

[@simonbeattie134]

£200 a month for the car?! where from? cheapest I can find is £320 and that's for a used one!!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

+Simon Beattie remember mines the 24kwh, you might be getting quote for 30kwh? Try www.carwow.co.uk. Used them many times

[@waqasahmed939]

Yorkshire! That is all

[@Alexriga]

nice cost comparison, lol.

[@martinlacey5985]

Perhaps you should correct your electricity cost.... you started with a full battery charge AT HOME! Let's be fair to those who are considering an EV. Also if you're not an ecotricity customer, you now have to pay for charging!

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

I know. This video is over a year old. Check out my others. As for the cost, I'm sure people can withstand the £2.11 for the full charge.

[@martinlacey5985]

:)

[@markplain2555]

Oyi!!!?? Why don't you put the car in 'B' mode and have some of the down hills charge the car?? I have the same model and colour as you except my car's steering wheel is on the left side of the car. And as a secret, I also listen to aha while I drive (I think we're about the same age). I want to get a large bumper sticker that reads, "Stop the gas price sodomy. Go electric" I know you have a different word for gas but who cares what the word is considering we are both using Volts, Amps, Watts and electrons.
