Nissan LEAF Range TEST Attempt in Extreme COLD

Do you have a LEAF or are you getting one? Please tell me something in the comments, even if there is a test you'd like to see on here. I absolutely LOVE experimenting, I wish I could capture all the adventures I have been on lol!

Great video and congrats on 600 subs

Awesome video. Nice job.

wow that's cold!!!

One thing many will overlook and that's that even at -35C the Leaf will always start and go if there's charge in the battery. It may only go half as far as it would on a warm day but it will always go. You never have to worry about an electric vehicle starting. I have a 2015 with 60,000 miles and I just dropped my first bar. It's easily the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I don't notice any appreciable loss of range until it goes below freezing. I do appreciate the heated steering wheel and seats as they make it possible to go without the cabin heater all the way down to freezing (I do use a very warm jacket though). The heat pump really works well until it goes below freezing where the PTC heater takes over and the amperage draw really increases.

Nissan Leaf is a very good EV, cheaper than Tesla, and very reliable, consider buying a car cover for around €20, it will save you time. Nissan Leaf 👍👍👍

with this music, I got rickrolled

Good job. Was your LEAF parked outside all night before you went for a drive or do you have a garage? Also was it plugged in over night? Keeping them plugged in during the winter on 110Volt outlet will keep the battery warm. Cheers from Alberta:)

I notice in the video on the temp gauge you showed zero bars Mine is currently showing zero bars with sub zero F temps, and im concerened driving it that cold could be bad for either the motor or battery pack I tried starting the car and lett8ng it sit for up to 40min and no bars of temp came up Yesterday under the same condituons i got the same warning code when out so i drove home right away as i was less than a mile My leaf is also older 2012 with 7 capacity bars Im pretty sure the baterry pack self heater is turning on as the one blue flashing indicator light comes on How did things work out long term for you? Did you regularly drive the car with the temp guage that low?

I see there are no heat bars on your battery. Could you have pre-heated before taking off while the car is plugged in?

Thanks for the video! I am considering swapping out my Prius for a 2012/2013 leaf for city driving and a second car. In Ontario here ..so -20C is normal in Jan/Feb ! thinking that I'd have to leave it plugged in overnight every day In winter if I got one for daily commuting

I don't want to claim that this is cozy warm. But that's not extreme cold ;-) The Nissan Leaf doesn't show temperature below -30ºC. I'll just leave this information here. ;-)

Looks like a lot of battery degradation as well. Much lower capacity.

Like from malaysia 👍🏻✅💕

Here is a man who made a video for those who claim that -15 is cold. His Nissan can't show a temperature of -50.

Honestly thou 8bars isn't too bad whats bad is the temps i reckon even if you had 10 or 11 bars this would still happen.

Why didn't you preheat the car while it was plugged in at home before you left lol

Did you pre-heat?

🙃

Your main battery was not showing any temperature bars.If the charge falls below 20% the battery heater will not work and the main battery can freeze.Keeping a lithium battery fully charged all the time is the worst thing you can do.Lead/Acid batteries are a different story they love to be fully charged.Your Leaf should have a charge limiter to 80% turn it on then you can leave it plugged in all the time.We only charge our 2015 Leaf about twice a week in summer and more in winter.Our 2019 Tesla Model 3 has a charge limiter I have it set at 80% Have only charged it to 100% 2 times in 2 years of ownership.
