I I haven't found that to be true in my area (Mid Atlantic, US). On 25mi commute (if I ever need to) there are four well-rated Chademo plug stations and another about a mile from my home. One is a Nissan dealership but three are at Hyundai dealers. They must be trying to attract LEAF customers...
I'm planning a road trip on ABRP. Without a range restriction (aka "Lucid Air GT") it's a 3:40 trip. With a 62kWh LEAF it's 4:00 and with my 40kWh LEAF it's 4:40. I mean an extra hour charging isn't bad for the...uh... $87,000 difference. Maybe the Lucid is a bit more quick and stylish....erm...
I would want a 2x margin on my regular 50mi a day commute even in winter at highway speed so 149mi is perfect. Or at least 1.5x so I can return to work and when something is on fire or return home to fetch something I forgot, etc. Or just forget to charge my car and make it to work. I can figure...
How about on a ZE1 40kW LEAF? Can I just pull the telematics fuse if I don't want this transmitting data? Which fuse is it and are there any side-effects besides the telematics not working? (other infotainment issues, annoying warnings, etc). I know it still works, I just don't want it to work...
I found the Ultra one for about $250.
It's been a week and I've nothing weird to report. I think it's possible to get a tiny bit of lift-off oversteer but it's a pretty long car and the stability control should help catch that anyway.
The 40kWh LEAF had the battery I need in a 50mi/day commuter car with plenty of margin and pretty decent acceleration. A larger battery would just stay over 80% SOC always except for rare road trips, and it's more expensive, 300 lbs heavier, and has a larger CO2 footprint and longer break-even...
Just installed this Ultra Racing AR19-474 on my 2022 40kWh LEAF. Thanks for the video Dala! The handling improvement is obvious; less body roll means higher cornering limit, quicker turn-in response and more agile transitions. Not sure about balance at the limit under cornering/braking yet, need...
Hello, I'm a 2022 40kW SV owner. My commute is 50mi a day and the range is still 149mi+ (plus we have other cars for trips) so I'm not concerned with range or efficiency that much (real range is about 120 because I drive fast). Instead I want to make my car more enjoyable to drive and be in.
I...
