PSG drives a Nissan LEAF 40kWh 2021, standard specification.
This is PSG’s second electric car, they’ve owned the Nissan LEAF 5-6 years and drive 5,000-10,000 miles annually. The current mileage of the car is between 50,000-60,000 miles and they achieve 140 miles on an 80% charge.
Why did you choose the Nissan LEAF?
Price, then a need for a car. We live just outside the London low emission zone (LEZ).
Positives
- Silence
- can be cheap per mile if charged at home.
Negatives
- 160 mile range is average but I want more
- no luggage mounts in the tailgate
- rear seats don’t fold flat.
Compared to when you first bought the car, does your battery still charge at the same rate & do you still get the same range?
Great, still 100% range, no degradation so far! We very rarely charge at either 7kW or 50kW, just use a 3-pin plug.
What are the standout technological features of the car?
- Front & rear parking cameras
- comfortable seats, heated too, like the steering wheel.
