    On these older leaf’s, you can use ‘leaf spy’ to check the condition of the individual cells in the battery pack. It’s not unknown for 1 or 2 cells to fail and substantially reduce the overall range. Specialist independent ev garages in Europe drop the battery pack, find the defective cell(s) and replace improving the range. You can also swap in a complete newer (used) battery pack from one of the newer leaf’s with the larger capacity battery packs. This latter option is now quite popular in Europe & the UK.

    Great to see EuroAsian Bob : always very polite, took the time to compliment and thank The Wizard on the work that he does for him. He's always very positive and upbeat ( especially considering that running a car business, even in these days of high resale values, must be a stressful occupation ). And then takes the time to look the Wizard in the eye and sincerely thank him for his business. That's a guy I could buy a car from. But I'm in Europe. But at least now his website has been changed so we can see his inventory. He has some really great cars that are harder and harder to find in Europe. So I'm sure he has customers from here who will pay the transport and import fees. I may end up being one of them ! All the best with the new car Wizard. Looking forward to more EV content. It's the future after all ...

      @tie pup wasn’t reasonable here at 30k+ back than. Spark ev you could grab in the 20k range off the lot with much more actual power and more range. Not that anyone got much more range with the pull the fuse mod.
      The problem with the leaf from this video was once someone bought it new they weren’t worth anything. Most banks wouldn’t loan on a car that lost 80% of its value in 12 months.
      Even now I think the fastest depreciating ev is the leaf. Half the range of a model 3 LR, slower charging and before the crazy pricing jumps of new cars it wasn’t too much less.

    Top tips for you from a 2014 Leaf owner. Get leafspy, clean/lube the brakes, the rear drums in particular as noise from brakes is much more noticeable. Guessing a replacement 40kWh pack is going in. I still get 65-80 mile in mine but the 2014> get a slightly better battery. The leaf is a fantastic run around car as long as your not doing long trips.

Get a 240v EVSE (Siemens VersaCharge is a reliable, cheep, and basic one), install the App on your phone, and you won't use anything else for running around town.

    First and last time I drove a Leaf it almost killed me and my cousin. I was driving on some quite narrow roads in Norway going to drop off my cousin at the train station. Driving like I have done probably hundreds of times before. A car is coming towards us in the opposite lane, we both move over to our far right of the road, it is narrow but you can fit a bus and a car on the road if you're careful. Anyway I get over to the right and then the car "bongs" at me and turns the steering wheel, turning me right into the oncoming car, we were both going about 35mph. The cruise control or lane keeping assist or the self steering stepped in, even though it was turned off cause I don't like having it on, it stepped in cause I got too close to the edge of the road and then took over and steered me right into oncoming traffic.

    • @harriettanthony7352

      That is news to me, the FIRST I have read of this. I would guess the system was either On by error, or a 'bug' in the system. In all EVs Nissian included, the driver can overcome any auto drive system. And I own an EV with this feature, so a 'one off' incident is NOT a blanket condemnation of ALL EVs. Any more than are the more than 3000 gas car fires (USA} a blanket condemnation of gas cars.

  • @ZaWyvern
    @ZaWyvern 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for this. My wife and I have the cousin, the e-power note. It's basically a compact range extended version of a leaf, gas engine to full electric drive train with small battery. We live in the mountains and can get a lot of charge from the regenerative braking. I would like to put in some super caps or something to add more charge capacity. But of course there's no kit or anything like that. Range is not really a problem (about 1200km/tank).
