Nissan also support County Durham and Sunderland Foodbank, where I work, regularly making contributions of volunteer teams, Foodbank staff training (they trained several of us to use forklifts - I have two different lift truck licenses and one MEWP license from them), plus their staff social group often nominate us, amongst other great local endeavours, for their annual awards. They really do make a big difference in the region.
Hint tesla has impact reports publicly available for every year of operations. 👍🏻 So far they've generated more power from sold and installed solar panels than their entire operations have consumed. And the superchargers have also been powered by renewables and zero emissions energy credit offsets. Plus power walls in massive grid scale vpps helping out in multiple states&countries, power pack's and megapacks to. 😎
The solar farm was installed by a friend of mine (okay, one of his companies) - if you want a slightly different view of it, I've a couple of videos on my channel where we ran fast laps in a Jag F-Type SVR around the outside, and a Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico rally car experience that snaked about the infield, sometimes verrrry close to the panel supports.
Most of the emissions from an ICE car are at the tailpipe?? What about the emissions from exploration drilling for and then refining. Then there’s the transportation buy sea, rail and road of said product that has to have a huge carbon footprint and that’s before we burn it in our cars. Most comparisons omit all of that when comparing ICE with BEVs. Yes their are also carbon emissions from the mining of the various constituents of a battery but as we’ve been learning these can be recycled many times and batteries can before recycling have a second life in storage. In my opinion over the lifetime of a BEV and the subsequent recycling there’s far less emissions than from an ICE car.
This is such a crucial point. Well said Wobby1. Journalists need to get it right. Removing tailpipe emissions is a lovely thing but the bulk of emissions and energy are from producing the fuel. The latest ICCT report says, just as you have, that BEVs are the best way to reduce car pollution from cradle to grave INCLUDING the fuel and that fuel's production. It says ICE and Hydrogen are no longer viable. They say that BEVs now break even on the manufacturing CO2 emissions at 12,000 miles - thats factoring in the use of dirty electricity from fossil fuels to power the car.
Not a single word about battery materials mining. Because all the dirty (literally, with pollution of the areas when things are mined) business happens away from UK. But it is so nice to pat yourself on the back, saying 'we are doing green stuff'
Very antiquated plant at Sunderland. No sign of vertical integration and also lots of manual Labour, even windscreen fitting?? The leaf is also very outdated now. No battery management cooling or heating! Inefficient drivetrain and high drag coefficient versus others in same league. Look at that plant v a Tesla gigafactory or VW new id plants, BYD etc etc.
The LEAF line has 2, maybe 3 years to run yet - it's not imminent. Another BEV will replace it (maybe Ariya, maybe something else). This from a Nissan staff volunteer here at the Foodbank this morning...
Then why just one, as all the rest are the same as Toyota . Now here comes the joke. SELF CHARGING. Nissan will go bankrupt in 5 years if they go down this stupid path.

I like this episode. When manufacturing our goods, it is becoming increasingly important to have a sustainable production.
Welcome to Sunderland Tom, it's about time you gave us a visit.
Very impressive got to see in video where my Leaf was built in 2015 .

Great video mate
Ofcourse you went up to penshaw monument for the shots 😅
Loving the videos!!

Don’t park so close to a crossing within the zigzag lines. I did and got fined!!
Batteries don't have "rare earth" elements, the motors do. More vids like this please, car reviews are getting a bit overdone
Leaf would be nice if it was liquid cooled and had a frunk

Good luck with getting anything but a lightbulb worth of electricity from a solar farm anywhere in the north of England……
A wind farm producing ICE cars WAHOO, COUGH,COUGH, COUGH.
They are still making ICE cars, and the leaf will stop production soon, so what’s clean about Nissan.
Did you even watch the video? Lol. All the stuff he detailed 🤣
He never claimed they are 100% zero emissions!
That’s fine but why is he there.?
Err the explanation he gave in the first minute...
