Who needs a #cybertruck when you can use a #nissanleaf to carry 1 cement mixer, 1 spade, 2 bags of cement, 2 210x15x5cm bits of timber, 2 25l buckets of sand, 1 cordless drill, 1 box of 130mm screws, 1 cup of tea and half of packet of hobnob biscuits
@Ryanteck my replacement Leaf appeared on Wednesday. It's so much better than the BMW i3 I had as an insurance covered rental.
The leaf is a stunning spec car for the price with only one flaw: CHADEMO. #NissanLeaf#chademo
Idle thought: growing up in the 80s/90s, I remember muffler shops everywhere. And there were ads all over TV/newspaper/yellow pages for them.
I have never had a muffler fail, ever. That includes two <2000 cars (1986 Chevrolet Caprice wagon, 1993 Plymouth Duster), but I didn't have either very long. Were mufflers just a consumable back then? Was there some breakthrough in muffler reliability circa 1995?
@Ryanteck Before mine got written off, which I'm really bitter about, I had it 4 years and 35,000 miles.. The service report and dashboard status showed no loss of battery capacity. The achieved range also appeared to be the same too.
n.b. I only rapid charged about 3 times in the life of the car.
I now have the painful task of finding a replacement.
The guys at Jiffy Lube were tickled to see a Nissan Leaf #EV drive up. They don't service many. But I had to get the coolant drained and replaced after someone topped it off with windshield wiper fluid.
Just wondering if anyone here has had issues with EO Pro Mini 3 #EV chargers? Possibly in combination with #NissanLeaf cars? Having huge woe with mine..
Today is the 7th anniversary of my #NissanLeaf. We are getting a fresh charge at a public charging station this morning, as I don't have my own home charger.
As an early adopter, I have been trying to use my knowledge to advocate for the #ElectricVehicles transition. I'm sorry to say we still aren't ready...
7 years of rooftop PV, 6.5kW panels, 5kW inverter: 64,610 kWh of electricity produced, worth A$3,230 at a price I sell it to the grid (5c), or A$15,506 at a price I buy it from the grid (24c). 1 kWh of electricity produced in Queensland, mostly by burning coal, emits 0.80kg (2021-22) of CO2-e, so my rooftop installation so far prevented emission of perhaps 51.7 tons of CO2-e (minus GHG emitted to make the inverter and panels).
...and as a way of visualising how much energy that is, at 16 kWh/100km the electricity produced by my rooftop solar over the last 7 years could power a Nissan Leaf for 403,812 kms, or 57,687 kms per year.
A petrol car, for example a Toyota Camry, at 8.6 liter /100 km would burn 34,728 litres of gasoline, costing about A$69,456 ($2/l) and emitting 79.9 tonnes of CO2 (2.3 kg per liter).
She has a good point. We love our #NissanLeaf EV, but we’re on a Vancouver to Jasper road trip right now. Far too few fast chargers on Hwy 5. Charging easily added 3+ hrs to our drive- made for a long day. To state the obvious, we need a) greater range b) faster chargers c) more of them.
Yesterday @FlanFlinger mentioned he’d managed to get 4.8 miles/kWh out of his Nissan Leaf. My best score was just slightly more than that - 4.9 - when I had the 40 kWh model on test in 2018. #NissanLeaf#EV#WeirdCarMastodon#davidsdailycar
Laut Bedienungsanleitung darf ich meinen #NissanLeaf ZE0 nicht aufladen, wenn die Akkutemperaturanzeige im roten Bereich ist. Wenn ich so weit fahre, dass ich zweimal schnellladen muss, ist und bleibt die Akkutemperaturanzeige nach dem 2. Schnellladen im roten Bereich. Ich dürfte laut Anleitung also nie weiter fahren, als ich mit 2 Ladestops komme.
Was wird denn passieren, wenn ich trotzdem noch ein 3. (oder gar 4.) mal schnellladen würde? Lädt's dann einfach nur langsamer oder brennt's dann?
When we bought our Nissan Leaf EV in 2018 I read it was the most popular EV in all of Europe, so a bet on CHAdeMO felt safe. Fast forward to now and it’s pretty gutting to see banks of new chargers pop up which are exclusively CCS and CHAdeMO being a bit of a rarity. #ElectricVehicle#NissanLeaf#CCS#CHAdeMO#EarlyAdopterPain
There's so much #HATE in the comments section of our recent videos for the #NissanLEAF electric car, and in fact any car that uses #CHAdeMO as its charging standard.
Telling owners of older EVs to metaphorically just go suck it because their car's charging standard is no-longer used by new cars is antithetical to my entire reason for covering this industry. I'm really quite upset about it.
I’ve owned two LEAFs, and loved them. I don't love the way that Nissan handled the battery issues these cars had, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the cars because.. I DID.
Can you all help me understand why the #EV world is so darned fractured and #tribalistic right now, especially in the #US? It's getting me down.
Is it just me or do other #EV drivers think of their regular routes in terms of kWh rather than km? I have one regular 12kWh route and another that needs 20kWh. My old Nissan LEAF only has, at most, 30kWh "on a full tank".
I have only taken it below 20% charge a couple of times.
