Hi Ken. You are correct the "E" step can be set in the menu so it will retain that setting. I agree 100% regarding the one pedal driving and hope Nissan does an update on this. Our Engage model range has increased to 413 km per charge and being retired we charge it about once per month. It is nice to have a wiper on the back. I was hoping it would have some form of vehicle to load system so you could power up things in case of power outages but it is not the case. Over all ,being our first EV, we are very impressed with it.Thx Ken.

I believe the reason the car does not have one pedal driving is to combat issues like brake seizing which is a good idea. You also mentioned about using propilot 2. In Canada we got the shaft on that for some reason and only have propilot. This is indicated by the single antenna and the lack of the face tracker that should be on the steering wheel.

Thanks for watching and I was unaware of PP2 not being in Canada. Will have to check that out. As for 1-pedal, not sure about brake seizing as there are now millions of Teslas on the road and I've not heard about this at all, so seems like a lame excuse Nissan maybe making on it. Appreciate the insights!

Have you heard of the Nissan Ariya Pole to Pole? 10 month trip kicked off in March. Now going down US west coast. This couple previously completed the 10,000-mile Mongol Rally across Asia in a Nissan Leaf.

Hi, I did an episode on it so you can check it out where I interview Chris. He is a personal friend of mine so I am well aware, I mention it in this video too.

They found that One Pedal Driving actually made the Brakes wear down from almost non use after 160,000 klms.

as a real world test perhaps you could have remained om the slower charger and assumed the others were occupied. which is what we face on a daily basis with public charging. appreciate that you wanted to test the capability of the car for the purposes of the film.

Thanks for watching. I wanted to show the capabilities of the vehicle itself. Public DC Fast Charging infrastructure availability and reliability is still a hit and miss, it really depends on where you are. I know many that have had zero issues with many of the providers.

When you are pointing to the charging connector you refer to top part as Class 1 and bottom as Class 2. In reality the top one is AC Class 1 (15A @ 120V) and Class 2 (32A @ 240V, 6.4 kW/h) combined and the bottom is Level 3 DC fast charging up to 140kW. 😉

I have ordered an ariya engage 87 kWh and I would have loved to have a frunk instead of that ridiculous open space on the floor between driver and passenger. Also possibly dangerous regarding stuff rolling in under the pedals.

Hello and thanks for watching! That's great that you've decided to welcome an All-Electric Vehicle into your lifestyle! A frunk is a neat feature for many, and yet just as many don't care. I can understand about rolling objects so you will need to make the best of that space. It's a great place for a box of tissues, something in my family we need in the car at all times! Best of luck and again, congrats for joining the "EV Revolution"!

Hello and thanks for watching. I am not sure if there is an auto setting for door locking set. You will need to go into the menu and look. Or view the owners manual sorry I don't have one and did not go into that level of detail.

Nice to see Nissan producing another EV. Prices in the UK are really high around £50k for a reasonable spec or over £500 a month to rent. At that sort of money I think potential buyers would gravitate towards the Tesla Model Y due to the fantastic charging infrastructure. The ability to charge at Tesla or other energy suppliers makes Tesla cars the go-to, Sales and Marketing Companies have trained us over the years to imagine driving along the wide open roads (whereas usually the cars used for shopping, work and the kids run). Until they get the pricing right and the range up to around 500 miles or more charging hubs installed selling most brands of electric car will be a bit of a struggle. Making an EV is one thing, back up and support including the ability to charge is a completely different can of worms In order to make chicken soup you first need a chicken

@EVRevolution

Thanks for watching. Yes Model Y is competitive for sure, however many don't care at all about Tesla, regardless of what we think or charging network. So there has to be other options, and this Nissan is a good one.

@stevenbarrett7648 Depending on where you are, there is good reliable charging so I disagree with your statement. For sure home charging is gold, however I've taken road trips in non-Tesla BEVs before and had no issues as well. The infrastructure statement, or in your case lack of, is not black and white but very grey. That day I was charging the Nissan, a guy with an ID 4 from the U.S. came in and we talked about charging. He and his family were on a road trip from Maryland seeing the sites in the North East and they were visiting Toronto and Niagara Falls Canada. He told me that stop, where I was, was the first time he had any issues in DC Fast Charging on the multi-week road trip/vacation. I was surprised, and he told me all the other Electrify America stations and others he has used, worked fine. So it is not all bad, all over the place and this is the kind of mindset and opinion we need not have, if we are to get people to look at BEVs. It certainly is something to look at and knowing all the facts, is what is needed. Yes I know some folks that have had some bad outings with public charging too, however the majority have good experiences and continue to drive their BEVs around our countries and other areas worldwide.

Again, I don't think as a whole, it is that black and white.

Hi there, thanks for watching and appreciate the question. I would say no. I wanted the most range I could afford as well as the Supercharging network access and ease of use. Those were my main drivers when looking to replace my Leaf in 2020. For my real job, which is not KZread or anything to do with the auto industry, I need to drive to most of South and Central Ontario areas, so longer range and easier Fast Charging is important to me and as such I went with the Model 3.

One more thing - in terms of e-step, the reason it doesn't fully stop is because it doesn't use permanent magnets in its motor. Here is the explanation (from a very smart lady btw... ;o) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZiDw85uocKdm6Q.htmlsi=Db3jqMNn3tMBZAQf&t=772

Thanks for watching. I would not say the M3 is trash, but its ride is certainly not one consistent with the class of vehicle the M3 is going after, the mid-sized luxury market. I changed out my suspension in my 2020 Model 3 because of the harsh ride. However, the new refreshed 2024 Model 3 is supposed to be much much better so I think Tesla has "fixed" this feature.
