So the tech has been around for a while then. That would have been particularly impressive in 2012!

Same issue with me

Oh wait we just need to put some batteries to the remote ​@muhammadumer7947

Very nice! That's an awesome boost in power. I bet it's an even nicer package all round with the 2023 model.

@@ev-ideas yes the seats looks a lot sportier still with the green stitching but it’s not plain now it’s like a grey and black pattern on the seats, looks super nice

Facts

I get what you mean...It's not the most spacious car but a fun one to drive around in and pretty quick to accelerate.

Might be. I think it's an option in many countries. This one came from Japan and was imported to New Zealand.

It's a cool feature but i often find parking it myself is faster. Thanks for watching!

We had it in our Nissan Qashquai, and we used it maybe 3 times, as the 360-degree camera makes parking very easy.

You get guns to fight tyrany don't be greedy 😊🎉

@@jcreswick that's a lose-lose for me lol

Yeah, mistakenly, I had Eco and the e-pedal on, so it's a little bit quicker.

Sorry about that. I was still learning and new to TH-cam. You can still slightly hear a droning sound which is the car. At the start of my main video here, you can clearly hear the sound: th-cam.com/video/WBCOarWEPIY/w-d-xo.html

@@ev-ideasyou can, but it’s pointless

👍I really appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for taking a look at the video.

Great point! That's the background music added to the video. The Peugeot makes more of a futuristic whooshing sound to warn pedestrians. It might be a little hard to hear in the short.

Yes in the ZE1 it still has the same design as the ZE0 (first gen). I thought they could have improved that.

Hi there, those type in the video can be ordered from a site like Aliexpress. They're called "Leaf Suspension Strut Cap Covers" Those in the video didn't work as well as I expected so I purchased some from an NZ website called Drive EV that had a 3D printed version. Still testing that out. Basically as long as you can clean out the rust, and protectant and cover with something it should prevent further damage. I used a rubber gloves' stretched over it temporarily but I've heard of others using small plumbing plunger cup heads over them. I hope you find a suitable solution.

Nice one. It's very exciting to hear that. So up from 100kw power... Yeah, it would be great to see it become more of a hot hatch.

Depends on what you're after. For us the range is fine (the range of the earlier models 24kw and 30kw was too low for us though) and it was actually one of the most affordable options out of EV options we looked at.

You can get a new Leaf for as little as $20k US, my 2020 SV Plus cost me about $28k US after trading in my 2014 Leaf, and the rebates. Nissan underestimates the range, unlike other brands, mine has a range limit of about 270 miles (about 225 miles if going 75mph on the freeway). Also unlike other brands, the Nissan has top notch build quality, with the 2 Leafs I’ve owned, never have had to do any maintenance, no squeaks or rattles, I’m up to 45k miles on my 2020 and it looks and drives as if brand new. When you factor in the cost of gas and essentially zero maintenance over the life of the car, the Leaf is quite inexpensive relative to other cars. It handles like a go cart, and while decent off the line, the acceleration from 40mph-90mph is near sports car level (I also have a 2015 GTR). The self driving is a nifty gimmick, although I haven’t yet figured out how to use the e pedal.

​@@michaelh1832 ​your SV plus sounds fantastic! 62kwh would be great upgrade for me. There are actually quite a few now that are a really reason price and that gives you a really good range and it perfect for the majority of trips. You're right about the overall economy and the build quality is right up there. I hear that the Nissan Leaf 62kwh is faster than the 42kwh. Your might get to 62 miles/h in 6.9 sec! Certainly quicker than most ICE in that price range.

Sounds awesome. The Model X is next level amazing, so I bet the light show on that would be something! Those doors opening up would be a sight.

Yes, that's quite cool on the Enyaq. Thanks for sharing that. On the Tesla, its lights project the word Tesla, the windows, boot, EV plug flap, mirrors and lights are all synced to the music...it's a pretty cool vibe.

Cheers Nick. Pleased it helped a bit. I keep learning more so need to post a new video. So much to learn with these things but lots of fun. 🙂
