Or has consistently charged it to 100 and let it drop below 20%. Easy to do with these early limited range Leafs, but not great for the battery longevity.
Oh btw I was just watching this video AGAIN n I had to comment about the part where ur talking about the gps and the screen …I live in the poconos in Pennsylvania…. A week after I got the car I was driving in the snow n it said over the speaker “TSUNAMI WARNING” and I was like wtf n it turns out when I hit “home” on the screen the car came from some island i think it was jaimaca or something 😂 I have to laugh cuz I’ll kill my self if I don’t
I have a 2014 Leaf and have more than 120,000 miles, but have 9 bars. I heated the battery to125 degrees once. Leaf Spy has been helpful to check the battery temperature, so i don't get the battery too hot. When I bought the car I knew what I was getting into, so I'm not disgruntled about the quirks of the vehicle. It has been indeed an adventure. I have gone into turtle mode 3 times. I have found I can go 6 miles from gauges flat lined to turtle mode. So far I have always been able to get to a charging station in time. It won't go over 35 miles an hour. A used battery would give it a new life for less than a new car. EV Rides LLC in Portland Oregon specializes in replacing old batteries with used ones. How it is driven as you say determines how far it can go, along with other factors. Keep driving.
I just bought a 60,000-mile 2014 24kw Nissan Leaf and it still has 12 bars (although I guess one will go soon). Like any car drive it nice and it will go a lot further than one which has been mistreated.
The bars to to right side of the display panel in show battery health. When new they have 12 bars, you have 3 bars left. I've never seen one this low. My father recntly bought one that was a 2013 model with 93k miles. It had 11 bars.
I still like Austin Paz's idea that you go to a Tesla meet-up and act like the Leaf is a Model S or something. When they kick you out then you have to yell and call them all Tessie's.
I have a 2014 Leaf - ripping out the seats seems a good Idea for range - should I fit an LS1 with a generator? It would be self charging then like a Toyota!
If you used to own a Nokia phone and you now have a Smart phone, but kind of resent it a bit and hanker after your 6300, then this is the car for you. It's quite a human car, some faults, but a lot of redeeming features. Don't know if I have been lucky, but I'm living in the temperate UK and I have a 2014 24KW hour. 105k miles, still get 60 plus miles. Still works great as a family run around and have saved a massive amount on gas/petrol in the last 9 years and 30 plus tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Also we don't have the reversing noise in the UK so I ran over our neighbours dog, which would have saved quite a bit of extra CO2 as well.
I put 100,000 miles on my Nissan Leaf and saved a lot of money in the process. Most reliable car I've ever owned and plan on keeping it forever if not to drive will be used as backup power for my house.
As long as you don't need its built-in cell connectivity anymore, or need another new battery, you should be good. My 2011's been great, but at 60k it's down to 6 bars and it isn't able to update anything via the cell network anymore.
You forgot to mention that you have a choice. You can either run the heater or you can go somewhere. But you can't travel in the car and run the heater. If you did that, it probably would run out of battery before you got to the end of your driveway.
My Leaf is the perfect excuse. My family always thought I was gay because I didn't bother dating. Now they look at my car, and they're like "Oh, you just don't have a very sexy car. Also you must be gay, because who else would drive that car?" I'm not sure if it's an improvement.
People need to stop looking at these cars with the lens of 2023, these vehicles were built on technology from 2010 the first model came out in 2011, consider the source if you want something modern, get a new leaf or a Tesla or something we need to get involved in third-party battery manufacturing like they do for alternators and starters and what not these cars will be hidden gems if that’s the case you can pick up a battery for like five grand in the UK because they refurbish batteries but that won’t happen here in the US for a few years we are always late to the party
The milage taking a nose dive trying to reach 60 is so true. My leaf couldn't pass a slow moving truck when i first tried. Slow for gas car standards anyway. Its got 50k miles on it 9 bars of battery and when i parked it at 36% came back to drive it the next day it was dead i couldn't drive it. I got a gas generator to charge it now.
I had been debating on getting a leaf. The used posting said it gets about 70 miles per charge. About 20 miles per day I'm driving around 80mph. I don't see this one working out for me.
I went on TH-cam to see if I can find a video on how to remove the gps tracker or even if there is one to remove or I don’t even know if they have like a kill switch when u haven’t made a payment in 3 months cuz this awesome car isn’t even reliable enough to get me to my jobs and I lose contracts left n right so I’m poor as shit and I’m currently on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck because the car won’t move. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that I haven’t made a payment in 3 months now now my 2022 Nissan LEAF suddenly won’t hold a charge ….i fully charged at a Wawa last night , the only charging station that actually works with the awesome chademo charger that I have to wait in line for hours for in the winter and u can’t even have the car on while charging so i have to have blankets in my car at all times…i charged to 80% cuz the charger slows down from 80 to 100% so they get more money out of u but the car went from 80 to 0 in about 15 miles which is why I’m waiting for a tow truck right now. I HATE THIS CAR , I just figured a 2022 car would be a good decision and it’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made ….i see other people with electric cars coming and going from the charging stations cuz they have that other type of charger and I’m sitting in the freezing car waiting cuz I have the outdated chademo charger that I can’t even plug into my car half the time cuz it’s so f*kn heavy I look like a dumbass trying to get that big ass copper wire untangled and hooked into the car….i can go on and on about this POS car oh n I might add that the day I drove it off the lot the caliper bolts weren’t tightened on the car and my tire flew off the car and I regret everyday not letting it smash into the tree that I was headed for so at least it could get totaled out cuz they wouldn’t let me return the car FML
Your inability to charge to 100% is unlikely to be caused by the outstanding payments. When the battery is very cold it takes a lot longer to charge. If you press the start button twice while you are charging the HVAC should work. I'm sorry that your ownership experience has not been a good one.
I love this, thanks Ben! I can't roller blade, but own a white 24kWh Visia I let my wife drive mostly. With 90,000 miles on the clock it still has 11 bars of battery health, but I found your car video after watching a Finnish mechanic showing how easy it is to swap the battery pack for a 62kWh set, giving over 300 miles of range. I've turtled once and needed recovery on that occasion, but hyperdriving is a way of life for us.
Dude I just bought my first EV it’s a 2017 Leaf S! You have got me super duper excited about! I’m flying out tomorrow night to Denver to pick it up. Then I’m going to attempt to drive it 800 miles back to Azle Texas! That should be an adventure! I’m actually petrified!😮
I have been driving Leafs since they first came out and at first, I would lease and trade up at the end. I bought out my 2019 model. I have only been stuck once and that wasn't the car's fault. I am starting another winter and the first thing the car tells me is the tires are flat. If you put in a battery from a 2023, you could put your back seats back in and not worry about the 14 feet of range. And if you turn off all the eco stuff it will be fast and fun to drive.
Pull yourself together and get the battery fixed. Ladies favor composed men. With a new 40KW/h battery this thing will drive 200+ Kilometers and if your avoid fast charging and keep the charge between 10 and 80 percent, the new battery will last much much longer than this one. The strain on these small batteries is pretty high and the first iterations have several flaws. Some also have a firmware bug that leads to batteries reporting they are dead, but aren't. Replace it and sell the used one. Then get the backseat back in for some serious backseat action...enjoy!
What I find crazy about EV is that they have no reselling value. It's like trying to resell a 5 years old Samsung phone. I have a ten year old good looking but cheap Peugeot hatchback and it still worth 5/6k€ even after 200 000 km
My wife and I recently had an estimate to get our rickety deck rebuilt, and the sticker shock hit us hard at over $30K. I said to the estimator, "I could buy fifteen more used Nissan Leafs for that!"
You got relatively unique trim. Tan interior is super rare on aze0 leaf. Your battery is toast. I have 2013 leaf what goes over 200 miles per charge. No more range anxiety.
as some one who knows nearly the entire electrical system of the leaf the battery would be 20 to 30 times that of an average laptop and you should check those facts out as this is a car many add battery capacity to and cheaply to such as doubling range for me would cost 1200 dollars and a few hours of electrical work.(which is not hard)
In case you get fed up with the range of your car (I know I sometimes am with my Leaf), a solution might be on the way: th-cam.com/video/UiM0JQC4C0c/w-d-xo.html
Loved the video! As a former owner of a 2013 model, I agree that the early leafs could only go fast but not far. However, other features and build quality did seem decent. If you replaced the battery pack with a 3rd party 62kw pack and maybe put the back seat back in I'm thinking you would have a better car than many of the 2nd hand gasoline clunkers on the market. Then again, im kinda weird. I upgraded to a 2023plus rather than dealing with retiring another ICE car early due to not meeting NY's auto emission standards.
Just traded in my 2015 Pathfinder that was paid off for a 2023 Maxima and damn is it nice but damn I did NOT miss making car payments #financegang #brokeboiproblems
At the time this video was created wouldn't you have been covered by Nissan's battery warranty? You're down to 3 bars at the time of this video but if I understand correctly the warranty would have kicked in once you dropped below 8 bars? If so why didn't you contact Nissan earlier before it went all the way down to 3?
My son calls ours Leafal Bizzle. The styling is wild, visited Japan recently, in its natural environment it makes perfect sense. Saddly I now quite like it. Like a gundam fish.
Lol that cars battery should be under warranty I would differently look in to it. I love my 2015 Leaf it has about 80% battery life gets about 75 miles lol
There are a number of companies that are selling battery upgrade kits for the Leaf. 300 miles of range should keep you rolling. Vivne was one company but there are more. How much $$$ I can not guess but for the car you love what is money.
My 2013 Leaf does 280 miles on a charge if I don't exceed 65 mph. But I am a cheater with a 2019 40 kWh pack underneath and a 45 kWh extender battery in the booth. Quite an investment but planning to keep it rollin' for the next 10 years 😎
i got honked and revved at by a BMW guy in a taco bell drive thru for being in a nissan leaf because he assumed i’m an environmental activist. little did he know i have a 5.4L V8 at home lol
Ben, you honestly made my day. Ultra funny video! You should go to Hollywood and act in comedies, seriously! I hope you get noticed. On a separate note, I don't know why you went for a Nissan Leaf. It sounds even worse than my mother in law's Fiat Panda. I hope you get more comfort in your life soon 💛. Spending money on cars is not something I recommend, but when a car makes your life hell, it's worth getting something half-decent. Take care mate.
When I hear people bitch about the Leaf... usually they did not know to study the care and feeding of the battery. I charge to 85-88 % and not below 20% ( usually 30) in normal use. I park in the shade. I do not fast charge. On 90 degree days, I will use another car. All such rules are occaisionally broken by circumstance...but I will never charge to near 100% without using the car very soon. long highway trips and fast charging... bad news because of high battery temps. 110v charging is for emergencies only. 2016 30 kw, rural N,calif.
Lol this was funny. 😂 But I do like my 2015 Nissan Leaf. But that battery can get scary when your pushing past that 10 mile range left. But haven't ran 100% out yet. Lol
Hahahahahaha 😂 ohh man! I love this, I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf that I bought as a investment for the future. Took my savings that I actully was spending on a house buy. This buy is still the worst investment I ever done. YOU SPEAK FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW.
I have that exact year & color with a 112K miles on it & I love it. Still get a full charge, it's fun to drive and has saved me a boat load of $$
the quick cut in the middle of ur rage is GOLD!!
As a fellow Leaf owner I can feel your pain. Best Leaf review video yet 😂😂 In cold climate range is cut in half, greetings from freezing Finland
this is by far the best video on the channel. now you can never get rid of the leaf
As a fellow leaf owner i felt this. But good lord I’ve never seen one with the battery health at 3 bars that alone is an achievement
I work for a junk yard and they get junked with more bars than that. I think this guy has a faulty battery.
@@dreamrelaxation7239 - Or has only ever DC fast charged it in 100+ degree weather.
I saw a video of a Leaf that have been recharged to 100% every 13 miles about 56,500 times, and its battery was in still in much better condition.
Or has consistently charged it to 100 and let it drop below 20%. Easy to do with these early limited range Leafs, but not great for the battery longevity.

Do you charge with 110v or 240v lot of fast charging?
Slow charge it to 80% max and that battery will last another decade comfortably.
@@smileychess Not at 3 bars methinks.
@@raysiat7827 - Who said anything about 3 bars?

The leaf has so much swag my computer almost didn't load the video.
Absolutely the funniest car review I have ever seen!
And believe me, I never miss any car reviews 😊
I have not smiled for so long for so much for ever! Thanx for a great review and a giggle or nine! Keep charging!!
This is hands down no questions asked the best (or worst) 2015 Nissan Leaf review ever made. Loved it.
Started watching this because I wanted to educate myself about the Leaf, but kept watching because I couldn’t stop laughing. Hilarious dude.
So you love your leaf? How many miles are on this one, and have you had any issues with it?
I put 100,000 miles on my Nissan Leaf and saved a lot of money in the process. Most reliable car I've ever owned and plan on keeping it forever if not to drive will be used as backup power for my house.

I see it as a daily "cold plunge challenge" during the winter. My passengers think I'm weird, but it's invigorating!
nonsense... his car has a heat pump not resistive heating. only first couple of years had the stupid heating.
@@captlarry-3525 a had a 2011.
Exactly! Every winter I just leave my butt warmer and steering wheel warmer on
Look at fancy pants with his 4 wheeled vehicle ownership. Plus with no back seats you can sleep there when you drive over 50 miles.
My 2015 leaf just got a good clean. Love it, but it only does 50-55 miles these days 🤣 perfect for the beach and a dog carriage.
Bro I will say the screen on that sick Nissan Leaf is more advanced than the one in my POS 2018 Honda HR-V
The engine whining noise is to simulate the girlfriend you don't have because of #leaflife

As a 2-time LEAF owner, I can confirm that this is 100% the best review that has been, or will ever be, created.
Wow, a go-kart also ruined my life. Can't wait to upgrade the possibilities with my new Leaf.

We own a 2023 Leaf. We love it, but this is hilarious. Good job.
Great parody of the Leaf! I own one, I completely understand!
you can now swap in a 62kw battery pack and get 250 mile range. Nissan open sourced the battery.
You forhot to add that a new battery costs loooots of $$$$$$$$
The milage taking a nose dive trying to reach 60 is so true. My leaf couldn't pass a slow moving truck when i first tried. Slow for gas car standards anyway.
Its got 50k miles on it 9 bars of battery and when i parked it at 36% came back to drive it the next day it was dead i couldn't drive it. I got a gas generator to charge it now.
Oddly, my Nissan Leaf's top speed limit is 99MPH . Far to fast for USA speed limits

I’m actually petrified!😮
You gave me such a laugh.. can relate , it's a whole other world!
I’m honestly surprised you don’t have a gas powered generator in the back of that thing so you can charge it anywhere just in case 😂

TO be honest these car becoming cheaper on fb like 5k with a gas powered generator that be a great deal lol but gas generator weighs a lot.
How many battery SOH bars were there when he bought it?

There are a number of companies that are selling battery upgrade kits for the Leaf. 300 miles of range should keep you rolling.
Vivne was one company but there are more. How much $$$ I can not guess but for the car you love what is money.

Dont worry Ben ❤l like the leaf 🌿 its cute car

The speed limit in my county only go up to 45 mph and in my town 35 mph so the leaf does well

My 2013 Leaf does 280 miles on a charge if I don't exceed 65 mph. But I am a cheater with a 2019 40 kWh pack underneath and a 45 kWh extender battery in the booth. Quite an investment but planning to keep it rollin' for the next 10 years 😎
I love my 2018 Leaf. I have another a 2015 that I don't drive I just use it For spare parts. The batteries are used to store my solar panels charge.
i got honked and revved at by a BMW guy in a taco bell drive thru for being in a nissan leaf because he assumed i’m an environmental activist.
little did he know i have a 5.4L V8 at home lol
Come on tell me what car under $50k has heated rear seats and headlamp adjustments!
I have a 2011 that bought new in 2012. I still drive it everyday. I have a roof rack on top with bike so not worried about aerodynamics lol.
lol appreciate the humor. bravo on the info!!
More videos like this please Ben 😂😂😂
My 2014 Leaf has the same millage and get 60-80 miles range in winter and summer.
Ben, you honestly made my day. Ultra funny video! You should go to Hollywood and act in comedies, seriously! I hope you get noticed. On a separate note, I don't know why you went for a Nissan Leaf. It sounds even worse than my mother in law's Fiat Panda. I hope you get more comfort in your life soon 💛. Spending money on cars is not something I recommend, but when a car makes your life hell, it's worth getting something half-decent. Take care mate.
When I hear people bitch about the Leaf... usually they did not know to study the care and feeding of the battery. I charge to 85-88 % and not below 20% ( usually 30) in normal use. I park in the shade. I do not fast charge. On 90 degree days, I will use another car. All such rules are occaisionally broken by circumstance...but I will never charge to near 100% without using the car very soon. long highway trips and fast charging... bad news because of high battery temps. 110v charging is for emergencies only. 2016 30 kw, rural N,calif.
If you put shopping cart wheels on it, the value will effectively rise to $9,400 USD
Lake Hefner!! You're my neighbor 😆
Can we get some kind of crowd fund together, raise $7,000 and get a battery replacement. Would love to see this in a new video. Leaf Phoenix etc...
my mom has the same car, it frickin RIPS bro!
Man your my buddy😂❤
I needed this 😂
Sounds like homie didn't do his homework and is now bitching about his buyers remorse.
Seriously, I wish there was an option to pedal these.
I love this video. It makes me want a Leaf. ;)
Lol this was funny. 😂 But I do like my 2015 Nissan Leaf. But that battery can get scary when your pushing past that 10 mile range left. But haven't ran 100% out yet. Lol
The trolling is real XD
the leaf is a pain in the butt. Saying that though, ive saved so much money. If you know how to drive it you can finesse it.
Lol what have you done to that battery. Mines 8 years old and the SOH is still 80%. Go and get a second hand battery.
That Half Bar 🍸 Is Badass.My go.carts Gas..Not a leaf from.a tree
Hahahahahaha 😂 ohh man! I love this, I own a 2019 Nissan Leaf that I bought as a investment for the future.
Took my savings that I actully was spending on a house buy.
This buy is still the worst investment I ever done.
YOU SPEAK FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW.
If you need a car to get dates you're total beta.
