Great video. This shows that the fast-charging speed is very important when driving long distances. 50 KW is yesterdays speed. I will require 150 KW charging speed in my next car for sure.

Robert Aksland And sadly, because of the lack of a battery cooling system, even 50kW is optimistic for a Nissan Leaf.

I like my 40kwh Leaf but when it hit 40 degrees plus here in Germany charging was a challenge. Car took days to cool down even in my garage under the house. Was first thinking „wow the new leaf is great“ but after seeing this video I realized it’s not worth the upgrade because in the end it takes the same time for long trips as my Leaf. I recently went 800 kilometers with my family and it took me about 14 hours. Four charging stops were planned but took two additional stops because of the kids. My advice would be do the 500 in one day and the rest the following. We will see how my leaf holds up when we visit Norway next year. Great video 👍

I have a 62kw techna+ and did not pay the sticker price. Nissan cut the price because they know the opposition Is coming. The Tesla Standard Range + is over 40k with no discounts. So instead of a bottom of the range model 3 I get a top of the range Leaf 8 to 10k less with better build quality cheaper insurance and better reliability. The Leaf is still a nice car.

Nissan engineers hang your heads in shame. You knew full well that batteries needed cooling when you went from the 24 to the 30kWh, to have ignored that and carried on regardless is unforgivable. I own my first Nissan EV at the moment, it will be my last.

Depends on where you live. In America, currently there is not a tax credit on it so that would lower the price. Also, Nissan is giving out rebates now which Tesla certainly isn't doing. The Tesla Model 3 is a better car, but I don't consider them to be a similar price here in America.

Even my plug-in hybrid's battery is air cooled by at least two fans. It's absolutely unacceptable for an electric car to have no active cooling of any kind.

I'm sorry to be negative but Nissan seem to have fallen way behind... Every new EV coming out now has battery cooling and support for at least 75kW charging. It's not really enough to up the battery capacity and call it a day, and I think they (Nissan) are going to feel that.

Well, the battery is borrowed from the Kona 39, it has been reported that this means it has fewer cells. That probably means a lower system voltage, nominally 319V compared to 360V. So what? Well, charging power is dictated by the current available at the charger side, and the voltage of the battery. Power = (Volts * Amps). With a 125A charger, and 319V, you’d get 40kW out of an existing “50kW” Polar Ultracharger. That means 46 minutes to 80%, assuming 125A is available at a state of charge as high as 80%. That’s in line with the quoted 54 minutes to 80% from Hyundai, perhaps confirming the 319 volt setup. However, even 40kW is looking optimistic if you look at experience of Kona 39 charging in cold weather. The rapid charging behaviour is significantly more conservative than the existing Ioniq. To compare with other cars, a charging rate of “miles per hour” is useful, so this represents around 190 miles per hour added*.

"It can't do 1000Kms at once regularly, so it's no better than a 30Kw Leaf!!!" Some comments around here are so damn stupid. We have a daily commute of a good 100Kms and we need an EV that will do that no matter what (as in: with charge to spare for ice and snow and also in case we get stranded) and will also do the occational additional leg to another destination. And all this without the need to charge on the road and without coming home with an emtpty battery. We will almost never do fast charging, maybe once a year, and if so, we won't do more than 600Kms a day. We are not 18 anymore. Fast charging is the most uneconomical way to run an EV anyways. The Leaf e+ - opposed to a 30Kw leaf - is perfect for that. Just sayin.

As someone who occasionally drives my Model 3 2020 SR+ across Europe (Eastern-->Southern), it's hard to do 1000km in less than 13 hours. In reality there are road constructions, traffic jams, longer-than-anticipated breaks due to toilet and what not. 13-15h is a pretty realistic result nevermind charging, you won't be going much faster than that. Of course, charging adds to any lost time due to traffic so decent charging speeds are important.

Yes! I definitely want to see Ioniq 1k test!!!

Hope you can do a charging test on 100+ kW CHAdeMO station.

Leaf is a great commuter car. Charge it at home and enjoy the comfort for shorter regular journeys. As a long-range EV it's not really good enough as this test demonstrates nicely.

I also want to see a race between the classic Ioniq and the new Ioniq.

The odometer design is a shame for this type of car

I LOVE this new format. I know its time consuming but this is a great test. 120 km/h 1000 km this is some real hard test for EVs. If it is to time costly you could downgrade to 500 km test.

Even the batteries from Toyota have a battery cooling!!!

Wow. Love your reviews. You are amazing! I learned a lot today from this one. Had no idea that if the battery is too hot, it will effect the speed charging ability.and that a cooler battery is.better for.the.faster 50 kw charging. I am puzzled as to why Nissan would not have addressed this problem. Did they not think that owners would not want to take long distance trips? That this car would be mostly for city driving? So, on a hot summer day, if you are driving somewhere far, battery can overheat and effect charging g time. Not good.

Why always driving leafs on B ? and not on D ?

I noticed the noise of the Kia fan running. I do not argue that batterycooling is better, but do you or any other measure the noise the cooling system makes in EVs ?

Something I see in the U.S., that's shown here, is that the non-Tesla charging networks are poorly thought out. Charger locations are not at popular existing destinations and there's only one -- maybe two -- chargepoints at each location. I know FASTNED exists in Europe, but there's just no comparison in America. ElectrifyAmerica, the DieselGate-funded thing, is just putting 1-3 50 kW chargers at hundreds of the *thousands* of Walmart locations in the U.S. If you do road trips more than once per year in America, you just need to buy a Tesla.

What speed should you drive if you want to travel fast as possible 1000 km? You have 62 tekna with 100 kw charging options buts not very beneficial when you can charge under 30kwh anyway in long distance driving :D

The real problem with owning a Leaf? Weight gain. You'll eat too many hot dogs, waiting for it to charge. Fast charging EV = less eating, healthier driver.

I would make more sense to charge at a 22kw AC in those few hours.... instead of going to a fast Charger.

I think Nissan will introduce a batter cooler early next year for this model. Is that right?

I heard there is something going on and I heard Nissan is visiting a leading charger manufacturer next Tuesday.

Really disappointing... That Nissan still doesn't offer liquid cooling is just bad. Even Bjørn trying to drive at 90 Km/h and drafting, didn't help much. I guess the car is ok for daily commute, but it's way to expensive for that.
