NISSAN LEAF HANDOVER TO GREEN PARTY COUNCILLOR JANET ALTY

EV Channels Review

This video documents the handover of a used Nissan Leaf to Janet Alty, a Green Party Councillor. The reviewer highlights the Leaf's suitability for town driving and its nippy performance, comparing it favorably to other cars aside from Tesla. Key features discussed include the regenerative braking system (with 'B' mode), the Eco button's impact on throttle mapping, and the infotainment system's navigation and energy information screens. While acknowledging the infotainment isn't as intuitive as a Tesla's, the reviewer finds it manageable with practice. The car's quietness and refinement are praised, though the reviewer notes the need for drivers to be more aware of their presence due to the lack of engine noise. The video touches on range anxiety, explaining the 'gasometer' display and how driving style affects projected range. The reviewer expresses a fondness for the Leaf, stating they would still be driving one if a larger battery option were available, and contrasts the current used market for EVs with Tesla's inflated prices. Overall, the Leaf is presented as a practical, enjoyable, and environmentally conscious choice, particularly for local commuting.
