I have a 2014 nissan leaf acenta with an upgrade battery ( 24 to 40 kwh) two years ago . The odometer now shows 172.000 km . By far the best car i ‘ve ever owned, I never had a problem with it.
There is no way anyone to buy in 2024 a Mitsubishi iMiev vs a Chevrolet Bolt EV! Anyway you look at it there is no justification of a such choice. Whoever wants to be a cheapskate can buy an electrified bycycle for commute as long as there is a place to hide it for parking, locking it, maybe even charging the battery while working.
It's already as rare as hens teeth and iMiEV/CZero/ion drivers respect these certain cars enough to preserve them in spite of the dim views including OEMs give them
@@toyotaprius79 It is hard to predict this vehicle collectible value: the perception is as a key car it is a throwaway one. I don't deny someone could fall in love with those bicycle tires. However, for the sake of collectible quirkiness I would chose another bicycle tire vehicle - BMW i3, and better one with 40 kW battery. Nevertheless, the entire video is focusing on commuting value of the car. That's why I wrote a Chevrolet Bolt EV is the best considering value of each dollar spent on EV per benefits achieved.
@@toyotaprius79 If it comes to collecting Japanese EV then I'd go for Mazda EX30. It surely fits the description: it so ugly, it's almost cute. To me Mitsubishi iMiev is at the bottom of the barrel scrapping to fing a worse vehicle. Obviously, Asia has one worse - Tata Nano.
Imievs have a place in history they are quirky and fairly good fun to drive, they seem to maintain better second hand prices in the UK to the leaf, although I would say the leaf is a much more accomplished design

We have a 2012 Peugeot Ion. My wife loves it. She even kisses it goodnight.

If you can get one cheap enough, there are shops that do a battery upgrade for these things to give it more than double the range.
