2024 NISSAN LEAF MORNING COMMUTE - DOES THE OG EV HOLD UP? (POV BINAURAL AUDIO)

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Nissan Leaf, despite its age and some quirks, proves to be a surprisingly competent and pleasant electric vehicle for daily commuting. The reviewer highlights its practicality as a five-door hatchback with a comfortable interior, noting the "plush" carpets and a generally peaceful driving experience. While acknowledging its limitations, such as a 50kW charging speed and a dated platform (based on 2010s tech), the Leaf's "instant torque" and "peaceful" nature make it ideal for city driving and traffic. The "e-Pedal" for one-pedal driving is a positive, though the "bouncy" brake pedal is a notable drawback. The reviewer is impressed by its livability and build quality, with no rattles despite its age. The price point, especially for the larger 60kWh battery pack (around $38k), is considered high, with the smaller battery pack being a more accessible option. Ultimately, the Leaf is praised as a "great little runabout" and a "great proof of concept" for EV livability, with the reviewer encouraging owners to keep and drive their existing Leafs due to their reliability and reasonable driving dynamics.
