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.
@@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.
@@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

Can you charge the car at your home every night?
@@Prodigious1One no, strictly for just work, car is GPS enabled so we are not allowed to take it home.
Range is a product of battery capacity. More battery cells, higher the price.

8:15 You had eco mode on, so the acceleration is going to be slower ;p
Very cool car for a nissan like it
Relevant, but price is still too high ....
Maybe and it's surprising that the tesla model 3 starts at almost the same price--$30k.
The leaf is now $16k runout sales
@@Prodigious1OneGovernment subsidized price.
$99 leases in Colorado. They should all be gone shortly.
A dealer quoted me $400 a month lease for one 💀
"The news network that targets EV buyers " 😆
Please tell me this leaf ditched CHADEMO
I think it still uses chadMo
Might try one, but i don't like the price of it.
When I can lease one of these for $5/mo I'll think about it.
MSNBC lol
Fox & Frauds. lol
Hi Ben hardy
hi
Can you do the gas version
Bro I think u live under a rock. Leaf doesn't come in gas only ev. And ev is better any day over gas.

😂
@@AlexAlex-gs1xhbro hasn’t heard the raw power of an RS7 before😭
@@davixastro8765 nuh uh still evs are the best. Just admit you are broke and jealous.
