Looks like they’re mostly continuing their stance announced earlier this year
Nissan raised its targets for EVs earlier this year, pledging to launch 19 new battery-electric models by 2030. It also said that by the 2026 fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, 98 percent of its sales in Europe would be electrified – fully electric cars and hybrids combined.
Wow that car looks petty neat. I always thought the Leaf was a pretty decent EV (and one of the first more well known ones) and it felt like they never really innovated on it too much. Perhaps this is finally the point where they start doing that again.
Leaf needed water-cooling / active heating on the battery. The batteries wear quickly with simple air cooling.
What I don’t get in this picture is the Ioniq Electric. Those boys also only have fan cooling and resistance heating, but those batteries are a beast.
It turns out you don’t need a lot of cooling, but you need some.
I dug into this a little bit, looks like the newer platforms have a cooling plate and heating for the battery https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/the-ioniq-5-cooling-systems-diagrams.44015/
That said, I am no expert; I just saw some beat up Gen 1 Leafs when I was shopping for my EV and had to find out why.
I was talking about the Ioniq Electric. Which are the older 30 and 40kwh versions
So
LeadLeaf should only be sold in Seattle, and other rainforests, got it.Edit: fucking autocorrect fail!
We have a family friend with a Leaf. They like it a lot.
We have a 2015, it’s a great car but very short range. Has more space than our bolt, it’s like the perfect urban small family car.
