SAYING GOODBYE TO OUR 10-YEAR-OLD NISSAN LEAF - ONE LAST DRIVE & BATTERY CHECK

EV Channels Review

This video marks the farewell to a 2015 Nissan LEAF, a car the hosts have owned for several years. The primary reason for selling is its limited range, which is currently around 78 miles on a full charge, making it unsuitable as a primary vehicle for longer trips. Despite this drawback, the hosts express significant affection for the LEAF, praising its comfortable ride, practical size for city use, and the enduring appeal of its physical buttons. They highlight its reliability and the surprisingly good battery health for its age, with the 24 kWh model retaining 11 out of 12 bars and showing just under 80% health via Leaf Spy. The car's friendly, non-aggressive design is also a point of appreciation. While acknowledging the outdated infotainment and the less common CHAdeMO charging port, the overall sentiment is that the LEAF is a capable and enjoyable car, especially as a second vehicle, and they will miss its charm.
