This is a great video, I have a 2014 LEAF and it has done 67000 km and now it has 7 bars. This video gave lot of hope for LEAF owners. Sri LANKAN government has to h give lot of tax concessions for EV owners if the duty is reduced the replacement cost will come down where all the LEAF owners will contribute towards the green eco friendly drive. This is a very encouraging video, we should share this video with all LEAF owners. Hope the government high officials will open their eyes and encourage the Ev cars to be used in SRI LANKA. I give a great credit to the young guy who did this video.
Great putha. I remember how i discouraged you when you tried to buy a Leaf. Today, I am so happy about your decision and about the knowledge you've acquired and your efforts to share the information you gathered with those who are interested. Well done.
I think this video is very useful to many, Best seen in SL since 2015. Dont link the EV Club we dont see any use in it. We hv not seen anything like this either. Great work.
Great Video. My Leaf has done 120,000 km to date with 6 bars remaining. If this was in Japan I would be eligible for the warranty. The problem with EVs in Sri Lanka is that there is no government policy to promote the use of this vehicle. Even the charging infrastructure is declining due to bad government policy. Many charging centres have closed down and the only option is to convert this vehicles to hybrids. The EV club is not active at all. Even the battery swap project they initiated failed without any feedback given to those leaf owners who have information on their batteries. NKR motors has done a better job with regard to maintaining EVs. Thanks for the video.
Super job. Thanks for posting this video and information. One request put a full video for people who are converting these cars to petrol engines not to do so. Doing that is a crime for these cars with full details. That will be good one. Super. Keep it up. 👍👍
I understand your concern but I don’t think blaming them solves the issue. What we need is EVs with official support and parts from the carmaker that way these battery issues can be solved. Thank you for watching ❤️

Yes I did, I have already put around 3,000km on the new battery but couldn't go for a long trip due to covid restrictions. Once I can will do an update. currently I'm getting around 160km real world range in the city with traffic.
How we can influence the government to increase charging points and make arrangements to import the battery at a lower cost. Cant we get together and make a request to the president? Has Ev club ever tried that?
Useful info, however one wrong information about battery charge. Try to maintain battery between 20%-80% for best logevity. Do not discharge to 0% and leave, it will kill battery. If you charge to 100% use as soon as possible. Use charge timers to charge to 80%-90% limit if that is what you want for daily limit.
It’s actually differ from battery type to type. For a mobile phone lithium battery 20%-80% charge is the best. But for an EV it changes cuz there are 96 cells that needs to be balanced and should be kept above 350v.
@@thisara_gunathilaka if we look into cell very most of battery chemistries , 20% to 80% is the best. Because if you drain batteries too much similar to overcharge scenario happens . Automotive EV are not developed to constant discharge rates but to resist rush currents (sudden power requirements) . For an instance, 0% means the dashboard cluster means your are way closer to 80% of SOC (state of charge ) . 0% state of charge means 10v of 12v single cell. When the string of cells adds up to lower voltage than rated cell starts get degrade way more then you think. And also all the EV batteries has management system that has capable of balancing active or passive (depends on the management setup) so you dont need to drain the battery all the way bottom to recharge them. I ve been designing EV battery management system system for a quite bit of time in Australia
The manufacturer recommends an optimum charge level about 40%. They say the warranty is void if the car is kept unused for a long time with a very low battery charge level. NKR Motors' owner's advice is wrong, which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in his competence.
Hi, Thanks for your video which is very helpful for a fresher. Can you kindly let me know the average number of Domestic Electricity units that is required to fully charge the leaf battery (say a new battery)? Thanks.
One question , which leaf model is this ?? 1.1 What is.battey u replace 1.2 you check after replace battery, they given warranty is under carrage is fully seal and it leaking water. Second question, let say 24 kw battery 8 bars . If I want only replace battery module , how much per bar cost in sri lanka
1. 2013 AZE0 G 1.2 Yes they seal the battery 2. I don't fully understand the question but module replacement (if it's not gone bad ex: huge voltage difference) is not a successful solution to improve your SOH. I have explained why in another comment here.
Was it required to do any programming or reset the battery module or something after cell replacement? NOTE: I also went to this place sometime in mid 2020, when I saw some leafs there as my leaf is also in trouble with 4 cap. bars and 60KM. But the owners said they are not doing any battery repairs. I asked about the many leafs there, they said it is just for regular repairs.!!!. Maybe I didn't look like leaf owner, as I was driving my Vezel, huh...
1. He programmed the EV-ECU to accept the new battery. 2. No they do not 'repair' EV batteries Only replacements. He said it's just a gimmick to fool desperate EV users.
Agreed. We need more support for the government to at least maintain the current charging points. Leaf is a very comfortable car compared to other cars in the same price range.
Apparently in an EV the reserved percentage is a bit different. Probably to let the user get the most range. Will look into this and update you on a future video. Thank you for watching. ❤
