  • The Nissan Leaf is not only the all-time best-selling all-electric car ever made, it’s also the first EV we've had the chance to film. Time to unplug and play...

      Oh, that's mega Daniel Dacey! Thanks so much for the positive feedback and encouragement - very much appreciated.
      Do you own a Leaf at all or another EV?

      @@DaveZalstein We drive two Nissan Ariyas (2WD and e4orce - both awesome cars!), since we need cars with as much range as possible. But I always liked the Leaf for being not only an EV, but a good and relatively affordable car first and foremost. It has a certain honesty about it that a lot of competitors lack.

    Not sure that space saver would do much for aero efficiency!
    It seems EVs have come quite a way in a short time. Thank god.
    I think I'll hold out for a hybrid/electric ionic 3.....N!

      The market definitely has more variety today than when the LEAF first debuted, but I'd certainly opt for an Ionic 5 N given current options...😇
      Cheers for watching as always.

      @@DaveZalstein Keep up the good work mate. I've got a black mk3 Focus RS. Very happy with the beast but somehow want a NA car (either Fn2 Civic typeR or Toyota 86) as a second weekender. I guess that's something I need to work on to get an approval from the financial contoller AKA the wife 😂

      I was referring to the the radiator and the air conditioner condenser, but you're good.

    • @DaveZalstein
      @DaveZalstein  Рік тому

      They exist, just not for the batteries specifically.

    Gee just we need here in Australia. Running lights and heated mirrors and an open bug catcher up front. Clearly a car for the city in smoggy Europe.

    • @DaveZalstein
      @DaveZalstein  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Warren Loone, I hear ya and I agree that a small EV hatchback like this won't work for everyone, but there are plenty of ICE cars on the market with daytime running lights, heated mirrors, and open front intakes and air dams. Australia does pose some unique propositions, but most car brands these days do plenty of testing in a variety of conditions. Just sayin'...
      Cheers for watching though and for joining the discussion. Stay safe mate :D
