😊😮wow much better than I thought 😊 not sure if it would have done much better when new and considering the batteries are known for their week performance wow As you said, it'd be good for going around town and on eco mode thank you 😊

Why don´t you talk about Hx= ? line 2

My commute is 200 KM each way, so maybe a Bolt would be better? The Chevy Bolt?

If it got 3.4km/kwh that means the battery holds 15.29KWh or 36% degradation, while apparently 11 bars is usually 22% degradation max

What was the SOH for the battery on this car

My i4 gets great efficiency at highway speeds - pretty much equal to what I get around town. Over 10,000 miles, most of which is highway driving I am averaging 140 Wh/km (live in SF Bay Area).

We never needed to have all these tests with ICE cars. This speaks volumes.

SO how did you get the car home ?

Interesting to see …here in the uk doesn’t get so cold proves they are fine in extreme cold keep up the good work

Always helpful to know best and worst case scenarios. For such a short range car the results are really reassuring.

Pretty good that you had a couple of batt temp bars after leaving it out overnight unplugged . My 2012 shows 0 batt bars when I leave it outside all day at work plugged in a level 1. I do get the turtle 🐢 on the way home and derated to 4 bubbles.

last week at -20c, 2 bar on batt temp, after 1 km , turtle mode On ( battery to cold )and ABS warning et almost no break....I gave you the Medal of Bravoure, for drive to the end of battery at -28c

Taking one for the team...

My 2019Leaf, 110.000 km is now 87,65% of SOH, 154 Ah , about 18mV of difference on voltage cells.

This would work very well on a NiCAD battery.

2020 62kw with 51k, SOH 91%, it seems that degradation rate starts to slow down after the first couple of years

I think your need to have charger On to preheat ???? and like you said, my display 2015 not same as your, your more easy then mine....do you know if i can update my display ????

hmm 2013 vollt, 130k miles, getting 50-55mi of ev range which is like 150% of epa. zero degradation.

Surprised the cell balance on the fully charged car was so poor. I'd expect it to be closer seing how a 40mV cell difference can be 5% at 75% SOC. Having a pack balanced "perfectly" at 100% and then discharging it to 50% is a great way to see those pesky weak capacity cells. They would show up as clear low cells at that point.

10 mV is .01 volts.

I have a 2013 leaf. So far the Leaf has needed 4 new tyers and a 12vot battery. Great car.

I have a early 2020 Nissan leaf tacna, 62 kw. And it regularly charges to about 206 miles range. I live in the south of England,and the temperature does not usually fall lower than minus 10 in the winter. However,last summer it did charge to 220 miles.

Broadly especially with Leaf the same good practices that apply to Laptop and Mobile phone battery care also apply here. Lithium batteries like to be used but not abused or neglected. Use it or lose it because it’s becoming also clear that time related wear is notable but having said that if you have a larger battery then loss of capacity is less of a real world issue. Thanks for sharing your experience. The battery cell isolation issue is less likely on older models or due to pouch weaknesses and expansion is it more likely?

It would also be good to see the actual battery capacity of each car in kWh when fully charged. Although of course you don't want to leave the cars sitting at 100% for too long..

The second gen Leaf has much better battery chemistry. My 2016 first gen 30kw has 150000km and the battery health is at 62%.

Exactly what i wanted to see........THANKS .........but shouldn't you read these numbers on the app while you are driving to see if the battery is actually OK ?

Do you have any suggestions for equipment on how a potential EV shopper could check the battery degradation of other EV's? I'm really interested in the alternative to the Nissan Leaf line with the affordable 2017 to 2020 Chevy BOLT 1st generation models:

My friend drive his leaf for 125k miles was only getting 47 miles on a full charge. When he replace the battery he gets 275 not sure what kind of battery he got but if the body is good it's a great idea for a better battery for the leaf.it still going

I thought over several days in the cold, even though charged, it should remain plugged in so it has home power to maintain some battery heat and conditioning.

And here I thought it was to carry extra batteries

LOL. OK dude

All the remaining cells of the battery (and even the replacement for original #13 as it's used and of unknown age) can potentially fail just as the one that got replaced. So there is no guarantee you wont be coughing up another $1500 in a week or two. Somebody in China have to come up with a new aftermarket replacement battery for the Leaf's with a good warranty and sell them for 20% less then Nissan. Until then an old Nissan Leaf is war riskier than a ICE car or a hybrid of the same age with a good maintenance history.

Thank you sir. Well explained.

I charge up to 70% after every ride I charge up to 100% just before a long journey.

I have a 2014 Leaf on 130k miles and have only lost 2 bars of battery life. It charges full to 80 miles which easily covers my daily commute. It's a great car! ❤

Charging I always charge as slow as I can The 2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus is equipped with a 6.6 kW onboard charger for Level 2 charging. At 240 volts, this charger draws approximately 27.5 amps (6,600 watts ÷ 240 volts = 27.5 amps). Therefore, to achieve the maximum charging rate, your EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) should be capable of delivering at least 30 amps continuously. Your EVIQO Level 2 charger, adjustable between 2 and 40 amps, is well-suited for this purpose. Setting it to 30 amps will allow your Leaf to charge at its optimal rate. While the charger can provide up to 40 amps, the Leaf's onboard charger will only draw what it requires, which is up to 27.5 amps. Setting the EVSE to a higher amperage won't increase the charging speed but ensures the charger isn't a limiting factor. It's important to ensure that your home's electrical circuit can handle the chosen amperage. For a 30-amp continuous load, a circuit rated for at least 40 amps is recommended to comply with the National Electrical Code, which advises that continuous loads should not exceed 80% of the circuit's capacity. This means a 40-amp circuit can safely support a 32-amp continuous load. Consulting a licensed electrician can help verify that your setup meets these requirements.

When your 2025 Nissan Leaf is plugged into the EVIQO Level 2 charger, preconditioning (prewarming) the vehicle will typically draw power from the wall outlet rather than the car's battery. This approach conserves battery charge and ensures the vehicle is comfortable upon departure. Nissan Leaf Preconditioning: Plugged-In State: If the Leaf is connected to an active charger, preconditioning utilizes external power. This process can run for up to two hours, ensuring the cabin reaches the desired temperature without depleting the battery. SPEAKEV Unplugged State: When the vehicle is not connected to a charger, initiating preconditioning will draw power from the battery and typically operates for a shorter duration (around 15 minutes) to preserve battery life. SPEAKEV EVIQO Charger Compatibility: The EVIQO Level 2 charger is designed to provide continuous power to your vehicle when plugged in, even after the charging cycle is complete. This continuous connection allows the Leaf to draw the necessary power for preconditioning directly from the wall outlet. However, it's essential to ensure that the charger's settings do not restrict power delivery during scheduled preconditioning times. Recommendations: Verify Charger Settings: Ensure that your EVIQO charger is configured to supply power during the times you've scheduled preconditioning. Some chargers have programmable schedules that might limit power availability outside designated charging periods. Adjusting these settings can prevent interruptions in power supply during preconditioning. FACEBOOK Monitor Preconditioning Performance: After setting up preconditioning, observe whether the vehicle's cabin reaches the desired temperature while plugged in. If you notice that the cabin isn't warming as expected, it may indicate that the vehicle is drawing power from the battery instead of the wall outlet, possibly due to charger settings or connectivity issues. Consult User Manuals: Refer to both the Nissan Leaf and EVIQO charger user manuals for detailed instructions on configuring preconditioning and charger settings. These resources can provide specific guidance tailored to your equipment. By ensuring that your EVIQO charger supplies power during preconditioning, you can take full advantage of the Leaf's ability to prewarm the cabin using wall power, enhancing comfort and preserving battery life.

What tires have worked best for you?

Dont do what i do...i put every thing in place, except the circuit board, take some time to find why the car not work 😋....Happy New years

Hey a EV car can be fun. But EV cars will never be the majority in the next 20 years, maybe 50 year time frame . Or cheaper. To do it it would mean a 4000 percent increase on mining for materials to make them. Takes between 10 to 15 years to make a new mine. No one is doing that right now. See an issue? lol. So what would that do to price of EV. Low production of materials in heavy demand. Take a guess. $$$$ up. But fun car in limited numbers.

Seems like it would be a problem if you had to leave work early (e.g., Kid school issue; Health issue) due to overall battery capacity and time it takes to recharge at work.

The Tesla controls on your 2014 are the reason you still have a 2014 that is working good. It's a protection mechanism.

where in the USA can one buy a single GOOD module.....not a rejected one for 2nd life only?

All proper modern EV's restrict charging speeds when the battery is too cold. Otherwise, the battery can be damaged. That's what battery preconditioning is all about. If it's super cold, like minus -20 or colder, it might even prevent charging at all until the battery heats up enough to safely proceed. That's why Teslas have cabin preheating and defrost modes (which can be scheduled) in case you don't have a place to plug in overnight.

HI, when considering electricity cost, do you pay for charge at work?

I also suggest with EVs over ten years old you should discuss battery swapping to modern batteries with better chemistry, and more range, no need to dispose of the car. Plus that older EV is more than paid for after ten years.
