EV Channels Review
The video documents an attempt to revive a 2013 Nissan Leaf that became inoperable, or 'bricked,' due to extreme cold weather and a depleted 12-volt battery. The owner, who purchased the car as the cheapest EV available, details the process of jump-starting the 12-volt system and attempting to charge the high-voltage battery at an Electrify America station. Initial attempts were hampered by charging station timeouts and the 12-volt battery shutting off. The solution involved replacing the 12-volt battery, after which the car was able to initiate charging. While the car was saved from being a complete brick, the reviewer notes a persistent issue with the high-voltage battery showing a very low state of charge and slow charging speeds, suggesting potential underlying problems with the battery itself. The video also includes a lengthy, unrelated segment reviewing a Cadillac Escalade V.
