Hello, I think since the used EV community is growing it shouldn't be as difficult to repair older EV's. They made 100,000 of thousands of LEAF's world wide. Just goes to show that EV's have a way longer life than people expected. Both of our I3's have over 75,000 miles (120700 KM's) and are still running like they were when we first bought them. Thanks for sharing this video, it was really interesting.
Andrew makes some great EV content. I live pretty near to Herne Bay and didn't realise the EV garage was there. Your GBP to USD conversion is way off, £700 to £1400 is $940 / $1875
Good point, I have a VW ID.4 and they have 12 modules, seems to cost about 1000 EUR for a module plus labor. Tesla does seem to change entire battery while VW change only a module if it would go bad...
I think they can be the air cooled VW beetle of the ev world. They are getting pretty inexpensive on FB marketplace. Cheap pile of parts for conversions too.
The more people know this information the better. But I don't like people living off of other people's work. Doing commentary over someone else's video when you could just summarise and let people follow the link is lazy. This video could be 30 seconds long. Either make content or point people to other content. Don't steal other people's work. You don't need to. Your video on comparing three Nissan Leafs with different use history and different levels of degradation was excellent. We need more of that kind of original informative content. Just sitting there narrating someone elses video is a low bar.
Last week we took our Leaf to Nissan in Az, they wanted to charge $😮20000 for a new battery. I don’t think Nissan Leaf is a good car, it is inefficient, low range so never again any Nissan Car EV or gas
Hello, I’m sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately your experience with Nissan is consistent with other stories I’ve heard. The goal of my video was to show that third party repair shops can repair the battery for significantly less expense and there may be a suitable shop in your area that does this. Just a suggestion for you to consider. Also if there are other viewers who have suggestions please leave them here.

That was an excellent video.
Thanks for the kind words!

Air-cooled, short life, easier to repair

Who wants to buy my 2012 nissan leaf? It's in fairly good condition. It has only 8 bars and on board charger. I'll sell it cheap, $1,900. US dollars.
