It hides the extra battery to act as a buffer to help with battery wear so over the years it slowly starts using the buffer to keep the range consistent
Björn, there is a new german word you have to learn, you are "tapfer" ! You are very "brave" ! Doing so much stuff, every day a new video, driving so much (in that cold part of the year) thx
I'm pleased to hear you admit your mistake we all make them. As someone once said to me "he who has never made a mistake is either a liar or hasn't been born yet."
I am always amazed how well BEV’s cope with very cold weather. Here in the UK it doesn’t get that cold. Minus 4 deg.C is about as cold as it gets. Thanks Bjorn.
I just have a funny feeling that @Bjorn genuinely likes the Leaf compared to other non Tesla EVs. It's a solid reliable car... Even if managing it thermally is a pain. But it's still a solid car.
Thanks for this really helpful upload Bjørn - which was exactly what my wife was after on the newer Leaf range. The only problem was is it made us hungry watching you eat Mexican 🤣
Great video, exactly what I wanted to know. Ordered my second leaf last week (e+) as a corporate lease car. The 40kWh served me well for the past 4 years. Yes, other cars are better but I chose tho is one because 1. My monthly rates (taxes) are lower (the business executive e+ keeps the price at 35K euro which is the tax threshold for 2022, 2. Great trim.veel (EU/NL) similar to the Tekna, 3. Boot space (Kona and other SUV’s are cramped). Only experienced rapidgate once or twice. Only beware, chademo in NL are getting a bit scarce,
That´s the one thing that really makes me sad... The Leaf could be such a great car, if Nissan hadn´t missed the opportunity to integrate battery management...
Having friends from Norway I know the expression "oh sh*t" is quite mild there, almost like saying "oh darn" in english, you have a fantastic youtube channel and this is just a heads up: the youtube algorithm changes all the time and to be on the safe side, anything that comes out in the videotranscript as "sh*t" might affect advertisers and should be avoided if possible
Not really, the Leaf has passive cooling for the battery, no active cooling, no matter what you do with the coding the laws of physics will only allow so much heat to be shed.
Great video ! I live in Alberta Canada so I'm interested what will happen when the Temps hit -36°c .... but none the less I am excited to get my 2022 nissan leaf plus
Interesting that capacity here again shows that Nissan are "hiding" a lot of usable battery; also confirmed in other range tests of the "62kWh" e+. Usable capacity should be 56kWh, but seems to be around 51kWh in practice at the point where the car starts to throw up charge warnings.
Is this color called Gun Metallic? It looks like we get it in the US, but not with the black pillars and roof. Looks very good 2-tone with the black wheels.
Poor old Leaf 2. Should have been a great EV but outclassed now by competition. Hope Nissan come back with a new Leaf 3 one day with CCS, battery thermal management, and better battery chemistry. Basically, take the Ariya battery management system and use in the Leaf chassis. As it is, there's no way anyone would buy a new Leaf unless they only plan short trips.
Hei,Bjørn😃 digger videoene dine👌 meen har du tatt en headlight-test med leaf’en?.. hadde vært artig å sammenlignet den med f.eks i-pace.😊 stå på videre! du gjør en fantastisk jobb med god filming,research,leafspy,redigering og musikk. god stemning👌
My leaf should have 62kwh battery. -1 degrees, start from 97% battery. Did 105 km with eco mode, absolute calm driving, ended with 20% battery. I dont understand why... is it something wronh with my car? Or maybe I dont have 62kwh? With acceleration is also an issue, i can not do better than 9 sec....
Late answer is also aswer: Leaf is missing thermomanagement(keeps battery healthy temperature) and it is problem when charging on chargers but if you will charge at home from wallbox only there is no problem you have time. BUT I can't imagine travel in summer across europe when temperatures are above 30-35 in many countries... There is no chance to cooling down battery at all... So my choice will be definitely ID3 1.Thermomanagement 2. Charing 120kw!!! (Leaf only 50kw) 3. Still improving software in ID3 makes it really better car
The battery heated up because he drove the battery to zero. On long distance trips it's best to not go below 40%. You'll get three 'rapid charges' before the battery throttles.
I sitll love Leaf II but with facelift and 62kwh battery should come the thermomanagement - this was the biggest mistake of Nissan at all and therefore Nissan is on tail of EV's race todays... In my country Czechia in summer the temperatures are above 35 and there is no chance of the battery cooling down after "fast" charging... I know the Ariya is comming now having TM but Leaf is unnecessarily losing competition now :-)
Maybe you should correct the summer results for the e+ Leaf in the google sheeeeeeit. It's not consistent to have the summer results to absolut 0% and the winter to car 0%. Substract 6kWh from the summer run and recalc? Thanks for all your efforts, it's so nice to have all the data available :)
Well, the GOM consumption value is obviously wrong. Measuring the electricity that is actually charged would be better - this would also include charging losses.
@@bjornnyland Maybe, I can't keep track about all expressions you invented. I guess you knew what I meant. The consumption shown in the display is not real, so calculations of the capacity based on that value does not say anything.
Hi there I have been seeing your EV videos on TH-cam and enjoy them very much. I am a 22 year old student who really enjoy cars and working with them. I am currently a student looking for a job start in a month if possible. I would be very thankful if you could offer me a job opportunity as I would like to move to Norway much before August when my university starts in Oslo. I could start as a full time employee until my lessons start which is when I would continue to work with you guys as a part-time employee. kind regards Izak Holtzhausen
Do I catch a whiff of complacency and laziness lately? First, trying to calculate how fast a car would make the 1000 km challenge instead of driving it, now starting from home...

The Norwegian word for it is "tapper". Very similar.
I'm pleased to hear you admit your mistake we all make them. As someone once said to me "he who has never made a mistake is either a liar or hasn't been born yet."
"he who never made a mistake, never learned a thing in life" chinese proverb i think :)

@@douglasalanthompson Its because Norwegian'e can appreciate a reliable, well made and great snow driving car.
Hmm, I'm not sure he likes the slow charging speeds!

I think it still is a great car, but it should have been better.
Well in 95% of driving you don't need it. But history tells us that it's those 5% that really kill the battery
Sneak peak, tomorrow M3 LR vs Performance? :D

That food looked good (huge portion though). Three degrees in the south of the UK today - cold enough for me! Leaf performing better than I expected.
Im getting the exact same color gun metal gray cant wait
19.4kWh/100km = 31.2 kWh/100 miles , and 265km = 164.7 miles
If Nissan Leaf implementation of open source they could easily solve the issue of the overheating battery issue.
Not really, the Leaf has passive cooling for the battery, no active cooling, no matter what you do with the coding the laws of physics will only allow so much heat to be shed.
Tak for videoen, jeg overvejer at købe en leaf.
Great video ! I live in Alberta Canada so I'm interested what will happen when the Temps hit -36°c .... but none the less I am excited to get my 2022 nissan leaf plus
Range in the summer 385 km. In the winter 310 km.
Howdy from Canada !!
You are great.
Thank you sir

Norway is so small, all EV owners share the same IONITY charger in Oslo :P JK JK
The problem with celebs in Norway is knowing whether they use Ionity@Dal or Tesla SC@Nebbenes...
super helpful !!!

God idé. Tænkte det samme. Lyset så godt ud. (English: Good idea. Thought the same. The lights looked good)
Thanks for good test !! When wv id4 test??

I dont understand why... is it something wronh with my car? Or maybe I dont have 62kwh? With acceleration is also an issue, i can not do better than 9 sec....
Love these videos ! Will you test the Model 3 Performance 2021 with the reduced power on low SoC on latest software? :)
Bjorn, if you had to choose between the two, ID.3 or Leaf? Would a certain trim level sway you over the other? Thanks.

Now imagine battery temperature in summer. Overheating the battery before (!) a second fast charge in -12°C
A hot battery at these temps would worry me in warmer weather.
I can see why Leaf has least lasting of EV batteries.
@@tonyperone3242 well it's the reason why the Leaf ages like milk
The battery heated up because he drove the battery to zero. On long distance trips it's best to not go below 40%. You'll get three 'rapid charges' before the battery throttles.
Was there some interference on your mic for a lot of the video? 🤨
Be stinge with heat, in my 30kwh leaf i drive with a blanket and a hot water bottle
Can you recommend any OBDII reader for LeafSpy?
Is that 256 km you have traveled on a charge in cooooold weather?
I sitll love Leaf II but with facelift and 62kwh battery should come the thermomanagement - this was the biggest mistake of Nissan at all and therefore Nissan is on tail of EV's race todays...

Using all 90 percent of your battery will BIRCK your battery. And shorten the life of your battery .
Do I catch a whiff of complacency and laziness lately? First, trying to calculate how fast a car would make the 1000 km challenge instead of driving it, now starting from home...
You failed to understand my videos...
@@bjornnyland Or I'm just messing with you.
@@bjornnyland I think he's pulling your leg :)
Why are you drying 90km/t always? No normal people are doing that..
That's the part of the test. I could drive on 80 and 70 zones but then I would be breaking the speed limits...
And did you not watch the video? I always also test in 120 km/h. Please watch the video before commenting...
@@bjornnyland 😆🤐
