geerling got filtered by a 15 year old nissan leaf.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQQtFnLefqw
>>106484835a few years back, I seriously considered getting a cheap nissan leaf as my daily driver, even back then nissan leafs had the worst battery tech, zero cooling and people sold them used with the battery nearly entirely used up, I mean like not even being able to service a 30mi round trip,love my 2010 pre-infotainment, pre-LTE civic, i'm never letting it go
you mean a 2 year old nissan leaf, most of his points were frustrations with new cars in general and not that it was a "cheap" EV
i wonder if ill be stuck with my current car forever until it cannot be repaired or is made illegal
>>106484888>>106484835Leafs are the best electric car that exists and has ever exists.Everything in them has been open source and hacked. It is the only freedom car & cannot be shut down. You can add battery mods and spare batteries.The cooling of the battery is irrelevant unless there's some dumb fuck that uses fast charging stations while already driving, multiple times a day, instead of charging at your home.
>>106485061how do you justify buying a new battery that costs more than the car
>>106484835he doesn't even answer the question posed in the title, also the comments section is disgusting, full of EVtards all justifying the car's shortcomings, EVs are a cult.
>>106485144They don't. Plenty of them are cheap from oust car wrecks.You buy a used car get used battery. Leafs are less than 8k. You can also just use safer lifepo4 batteries in the trunk.
>>106485061>The cooling of the battery is irrelevant unless there's some dumb fuck that uses fast charging stations while already driving, multiple times a day, instead of charging at your home.The problem is the range is also poor.So you will need to charge multiple times a day on a long trip.And not cooling the battery during fast charge kills it, reducing range even more.If you ONLY use it to commute it's alright but if you ever go on holiday there are much better options like from Hyundai/Kia.Nissan forgot to innovate and are stuck in 2010 forever.
>>106485253they don't have to innovate, japanese EVs are built to be disposable since nobody keeps their cars older than 3 years thanks to the shaken
EVs as a concept are a non-starter if you're not a homeowner with the ability to provide 240V charging in your garage, anyone else has to deal with trickle chargers hanging down from their apartment or power cords leading to the street where their EV is parked.
>>106485276>they don't have to innovateEV's are developing incredibly fast.If they don't innovate they won't be selling many cars in the near future.And it's sad because I like Japanese cars but I don't see how companies like Nissan and Toyota can still exist 20 years from now.
