The Original EV Is Back! (2025 Nissan Leaf)

8:15 You had eco mode on, so the acceleration is going to be slower ;p

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

When I can lease one of these for $5/mo I'll think about it.

[@danielbautista0000]

I personally think ranges need to be about 300 miles standard, a small solar panel to recoup about 5 miles a day. With batteries degradation, these should be easily obtainable goals. I drive a base model Tesla for work that can only be charged to 80% due to availability and it burns an around 10-15% due to Sentry mode a night and life seems to have to revolve where to charge every other day. We’re as a gas car I go about week plus before I fill up.

[@Prodigious1One]

Can you charge the car at your home every night?

[@danielbautista0000]

@@Prodigious1One no, strictly for just work, car is GPS enabled so we are not allowed to take it home.

[@yo2trader539]

Range is a product of battery capacity. More battery cells, higher the price.

[@danielbautista0000]

@@yo2trader539 I do agree but still 300 empg should be standard rating IMO. Great for city drivers I do 50 mile round trip driving and idea would be great for personal use to charge at home, but for fleet cars or business car it is impractical and time consuming if I have to charge it every time I use it rather fill a car up once every two weeks. Because time is money and it’s because we do not have work charging station.

​@@danielbautista0000I recall reading that it still costs around US$ 70-100 per KwH for automakers to procure Lithium-Ion batteries. For 300 miles or 480km range, I suspect you would need about 80-120 kwh battery capacity depending on vehicle size and weight. Solid-state batteries are being developed for better range than current batteries. Toyota plans to introduce them in 2027. But new batteries will most likely cost more per KwH. I suspect a small and lighter Mazda Miyata size EV coupe may be able to do 300 miles. But automakers tend to produce large and expensive EVs.

[@jimgalle1371]

Relevant, but price is still too high ....

[@Prodigious1One]

Maybe and it's surprising that the tesla model 3 starts at almost the same price--$30k.

[@ms3862]

The leaf is now $16k runout sales

[@dpporlando]

$99 leases in Colorado. They should all be gone shortly.

A dealer quoted me $400 a month lease for one 💀

Hi Ben hardy

[@alexfry9114]

Can you do the gas version

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

Bro I think u live under a rock. Leaf doesn't come in gas only ev. And ev is better any day over gas.

[@Aves_1]

@@AlexAlex-gs1xh for the most part yeah, but take it to a place with a bad charging network and gas wins hands down. EVs wont fully take over until charging infrastructure significantly improves
