Brake pad replacements at 30K miles (regenerative braking, pads last life of car)

Yeah there definitely might be some irrational exuberance here at MNL. However, my neighbor has a lot of forklifts with 10+ year old engines at his work, different type of motor & work cycle, but I still think you're gonna have to drive for an awful long time before you need to replace the drive components in a LEAF.cpreston said:... Do we really think that the Leaf versions of many of these things (e.g. Electric Motor, Reducer instead of Transmission, etc) are never going to need replacing either?
And, of course, at some point we're going to need to replace our batteries, right? The ones they have no idea what they're going to charge us for?
Nope!LEAFfan said:TonyWilliams said:So, what would happen if I disconnected the LEAF battery? How many things need setup again after?
Lots!

But there are some people who do find the Nissan Leaf high pitched whine noise irritating, as discussed in other threads. It personally doesn't bother me, I kind of like it.
But some people really dislike it.
If it is technically unavoidable (or not economic to avoid / minimize it in the Leaf design), Nissan might need to consider the active noise reduction discussed in the video.
