Nissan Leaf

Just seen the tv advert.

Nice electric car, never need to buy petrol again ...........





...... but you do need to 'rent' the battery for £70 per month !!!

RE: Nissan Leaf

We've got 2 of them kicking around our area.
Yes the battery rental is a pain, but isn't there an option to also buy the battery? (an extra 5k on the price of the car or something like that)

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

RE: Nissan Leaf

In the recent cold weather I have at least 6 of them on flatbed trucks - I suspect that the battery doesn't hold it's charge so well in frosty weather.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Nissan Leaf

Cant be a temperature thing because when I was in Norway for a while there were loads of them, think its more down to a miscalculation of the range
as its only about 90 miles between charges

I would like to hear the milage figures for winter driving: lights,heater wipers on.Shocked
In a normal car heating is more or less free of charge, but how about an electric car, and what I heard you can't get rid of them as second handCrying

RE: Nissan Leaf

In this week's Autoexpress in the Uk there is an item about a bloke who tried to part exchange his Renault Twizzy (OK so he chose autumn/winter which isn't the time of year to be selling a car with rudimentary doors and is electric) it was 6 months old and cost £7500 new................. initially he was offered £2500 for it in partex for a renault Zoe by the Renault dealer he bought it from until Renault stepped in and offered £3500.
Powering the lights on most electric or hybrids isn't a big issue as they mostly use LED lamps with a tiny electrical requirement

One of my sons lives in Norway, and we just got home from visiting him. There are 'Teslas' everywhere there now, and he tells me they have a 500 km range. They also get free parking at meters restricted for electric cars (I think you just use a swipe card or a code) and no car tax - not to mention that they have seven seats yet look like Maseratis!!
