BUYING MY CHEAP LEAF & VISITING STARBUCKS RESERVE

EV Channels Review

Kyle Conner embarks on an adventure to purchase the most affordable electric vehicle in the country, the Nissan Leaf. The journey begins with a frustrating charging experience, highlighting the persistent issues with charging infrastructure. Despite this, Conner proceeds to Seattle to visit the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, which he finds to be an impressive and worthwhile destination. The core of the video, however, is the acquisition of the "cheap" Nissan Leaf. Conner expresses pleasant surprise at its condition, noting the "arrow modification" (which appears to be an aftermarket body kit) and the presence of two keys, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel, suggesting it's a well-equipped model for its price point. He praises its driving dynamics, particularly the shifter and overall feel, despite its age and mileage. The video concludes with the Leaf being loaded onto a trailer and the duo heading to an Electrify America station for its first charge, where it achieves a respectable 33 kW, a positive sign for the newly acquired EV.
