That's normal for a taxi. In the 1970's I knew a taxi driver who did about 1,200 miles per week in Winter, and more in Summer. Even at Winter averages, that's about 60,000 miles per year. That Nissan is 2 years old. A fleet taxi, which is used by more than one driver, can easily exceed 100,000 miles per year.

A very useful and informative video. It shows that with extreme levels of use/charges mileage etc. over 3 years the battery had retained 87% of its initial capacity which is impressive. Frankly, any Leaf can have a random module fail especially with all those repeated charge cycles and the fix price was also impressive. The only other aspect I would love to see covered is degradation due to simple ageing in a UK climate without the taxi-level repeat charging. How viable a second hand purchase will a 7yr+ leaf prove to be I wonder ?
@tomsixsix11 ай бұрын
With Nissan's record so far on 24, 30 and 40kWh Leaf's I really fear for the 62kWh models too, I would not buy them. Other EV manufacturers do not see this failure/degradation rate. 120k miles is good but realistically half of what a well maintained ICE car can do, and rapid charging daily is not unusual for some use cases, so batteries need to be more rugged here for sure.

But I do try and charge it from 7kw to help the batteries. And I do notice doing this you seem to get better mileage. and not always rapid charging of 50kw as this does diminish your battery health. But I’m looking forwards to getting another Nissan electric vehicle in a year or so as I don’t keep my cars long. 👍 Good video. Great work there,👍

I was fixing the same issue on a 2019 leaf, similar mileage. There was nothing else to do then to replace all of the battery cells with new ones. The modules were even more inflated then these, but not much. Of course original are too expensive, so I put CATL 117Ah NMC cells in an it all works really great.

To say it doesnt work is quite a sweeping statement, as it all depends upon how the car is used and the climate it is used in. To be fair to Nissan, they may well have underestimated the problem of overheating/degradation - there wasn't much previous evidence to go on, in terms of ev's. To fit a thermal management system may well have necessitated a redesign of the car body at massive expense and most likely why Nissan decided to work on the battery chemistry instead, being the potentially cheaper option. Considering the cash I had to shell out to keep my combustion engine car on the road at that mileage - the cost of fixing this was reasonable.

Losing 1 bar is not a reason for concern, after 6 years. Do make a note at what mileage that was when 1 bar was lost. Then use normally until the second bar loss - you may expect it to be 20-30k miles or 2-3 years later, unless you are rapid-charging it all the time.

How many highly skilled EV garages like Cleevely Motors r there across UK 🤔 We r gonna need a log of these independents otherwise the dealerships will do wat the always do...... ridiculously overcharge owners. In this case tell u the entire battery needs replaced. Apprenticeships wud be good start.
