Do you think the 62 KW 2020 Nissan Leaf SL models are capable of charging at there technical maximum speeds when it's 85 degrees outdoors (even at night!) From June to early September, in major city's of the southWest like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, etc.. it is still this warm even at 9 PM.
@@flolou8496 Charging Home overnight 8hr on 240 should be ok battery longevity in super warm areas like AZ you should look at the locally available older leaf and see how they are holding up cars like chev bolt will works better for long distance drives 400 miles plus.
@Tron-Jockey Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to offer this information. I only drive in town and no more than 10 miles a day. Based on the information you have kindly supplied, it seems to me that an EV is a no-brainer. So, occasional brake service and tire change/rotation is all that is needed then?
An EV would be perfect for you, even an older EV with some battery degradation could work, would require more frequent charging and can be fairly inexpensive.@@arlofs
@@aldasilva2239 Thank you. I just saw that you had answered my previous question as well, and I appreciate that. Yes, I'm considering a used car as my first EV to see how things go, before I make a commitment to purchase a new, more expense one. I don't mind charging daily, so even if the battery holds 50 miles worth of charge it would be enough in the rare event I need to drive more than 10-12 miles in a given day. I've been looking into getting a second hand Nissan Leaf, which is what brought me to your video.
@@arlofs You should be able to find an inexpensive Leaf, also if you wanted to upgrade the battery in the future, there are shops that specialize in aftermarket EV battery repair, most of them are on the west coast, you would have to ship the vehicle to them. Nissan only offers battery replacement.

I’ll miss my blue EVE. 😊
40kwh and 60kwh non cooled batteries are great should last 150k to 200k miles

What kind of regular maintenance does it require?
Rotate the tires every 7.5k, brake fluid flush every 15k or 30k depending how and where you drive, cabin filter every 15k.
