The best thing about electric vehicles is that we generate electricity in this country while we have to import petrol and diesel from the Arab countries. Petroleum products account for 30% of the value of imports into this country
Usually while buying an electric car,you get a warranty for the battery for 100000km. The batteries available nowadays don't use just lithium but also combine nickel and manganese. The most modern one is the lithium phosphate battery which is very reliable against cheap with a very long life. Actually tesla are using the lithium phosphate battery on their current model y. It can last for 1 million kilometres or 130 yrs
Buying a Nissan Leaf for 4m just to save on fuel is madness. I would instead buy a premio or a Legacy and save the 2m for ksh.1,500 daily fuel for 6 years and still remain some good money for servicing. 4m is overrating this car.
🎉The day has come! With the Leaf's efficiency being 16.6 kWh/100 km and a kWh (1 unit ya KPLC) being Ksh. 26.52, that means that it will cost you Ksh. 440.23 to drive for 100 km. Compare that with a Corolla, which is rated for 7.5l/100km and fuel costing Ksh 179.30 per litre, the cost to do the same distance will be Ksh 1,344.75. No wonder Super Metro and Embassava have jumped on electric, the running costs are so low.
On another note (pun intended), kama kawaida nissan and sound insulation is very good. The clarity is on point and almost no road noise. Might be the lack of engine noise but sound insulation is superb
I experienced mad road noise on a particular Toyota Corolla NZE. It was unbearable. If that was my car I would just sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. Although not all NZEs are noisy.
Hey guys , i appreciate your good job ... Now requesting a HONDA ODDESEY review..... Waaah!!! I have also seen you Wokabi on that show with Dr. King'ori... Congrats man.... Am always amazed because of how you are so much informed about cars..... You guy you're on your own league...Waah!!💯💯❣️👍 I really don't think kama Big Boy Trev amefika hapo in terms of the knowledge you have about cars...🔥🔥
Excellent review. On Hydrogen energy, it is very energy intensive to produce to the point of not making sense to use it as an environmental friendly source
Very informative but one thing is certain you cannot buy this car as your first car.Its best if it's your second for running errands within the metropolis
I will give it 8, Ibrahim is very right , remember the things to consider when buying a car,then there is nothing like saving the environment 😢 coz the mining and processing of this raw materials emits alot of harmful gases...but e-v takes the day.
Still, doing a average score for the battery life. At 4.5km, it is at 70%, the mileage was achieved in "suitable country", then this is a ticking bomb. Assume the battery life when it hits something like 25k km, and in tropical country like kenya.
Very in-depth review. Value for money is off but it is a good daily commuter car for someone plying Thika road , kiambu road or jogoo road. Basically ideal for people living within a 70km radius or Nairobi or their places of work. Erick please do a review of the Mitsubishi outlander Phev. It is Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle, meaning it can run on full electric mode, Gasoline mode or Hybrid mode. It could be really interesting.
Great job with the review. Best to ascertain the real cost per km i.e. charging, maintenance, insurance and amortized battery replacement over 5 years. When we do so we end up with a figure of almost KES 21.35l/Km (excluding depreciation). If we draw a comparison let's say with 1.5 Demio Diesel Turbo the cost per km= KES 14.5/km and almost KES 2.3-2.5 million cheaper for a similar 2017 year in terms of purchase price. Two things need to be done to make electric cars more viable in Kenya by the Government: lower import taxes for them and have a special tariff for their eletric charging. I frequent Addis and the streets are filled with brand new electric cars - VW ID.4,5, 6, Benz EQ series and other numerous Chinese brands. Here is the thing over there import tax for electric cars is only 5% 😮 whereas Kenya is 75% minimum or more if you don't under invoice. The power costs KES 3kWh and Kenya's is 27. I will stick to ICE for now but the Note e power is a better choice despite older looking but best to dispose it before 160,000km before the batteries give in. Has lower torque at 250Nm but is quicker off the line due to the very small 1.5kW battery pack. It is also way cheaper.
Also your point about the carbon footprint during the manufacturing process is quite true. About 100 kilograms (kg) of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour (CO2e/kWh) is emitted. In this case for 30kWh battery about 3,000 Kgs of CO2. The Mazda Demio Diesel emits 89g of CO2 per km. If we compared both cars when new then it means the Demio would be at per with the Leaf in terms of emissions after being driven for 33,000 km. This could take 1.5 to 3 years. The situation becomes worse of the grid power is generated from coal or diesel, it is not green! A home Solar system will not be viable for this to charge in a few hours because it would cost close to KES 3 million. One has to rely on the grid with no control of power generation source
Great added analysis, Charles. It's a great review but it's the mathematics that was lacking. ICEs still offer better value for money...but not for long.
Reviewing Nissan Leaf katikati ya matawi, I see what you did there. But with that bei, you should have reviewed it katikati ya shamba ya bangi, miraa ama muguka.
It's good that you chose to review the 4 million shillings 2017 Nissan Leaf. I would also like to see a short review of the older 2014-2015 Leaf available for 1m to 1.5 m in the Kenyan market. Are they worth it and how long will the battery last considering it's foreign used for some years.

Let me wait for BYD Atto 3 from Australia. A new model would cost 5 million inclusive of taxes. BYD has blade batteries ( a breakthrough technology ) It has a range of over 400 kilometers.
Unforyunately your statistics were true some 7 years ago but not now. The crown now is largely with tesla especially the tesla model Y and model 3. Otherwise great work.
I have this Nissan xtrial and the engine check keeps on popping and the car mostly will stop and am forced to switch off and restart again. What might be the problem? Anyway I like how you me like FJ cruser
wait, the car has 4000 on the odo and the battery health has already gone below 75%, that could only mean that bu 30000 km you will have replaced it, wah with a cost of more than 1m to changed it wah, Wokabi hapo kidogo haileti shangwe
The problem with nissan ni walikuwa pioneers kakini wakakuwa lazy in innovation especially when it comes to battery thermal management. So due to inadequate cooling their batteries zinazeeka haraka.
Nissan leaf is a good car but I would rather a hybrid car if I have to buy something electric. If I have to buy a nissan, then the note e power is a definate solution.
Ati hydrogen is clean!!! The problem is you are comparing the production of batteries VS the emmissions of hydrogen. compare production to production and emissions to emissions.
The problem with having electric power with lithium batteries, is you risk the car being obsolete because China has invented batteries using sodium. These might be short-lived the way the DVD players did.
The only reason anyone would buy this car is to conserve the environment and be a pioneer towards green energy. The push towards green energy has been hindered by fossil fuel engines, yes our electricity is produced by diesel engines but truth is if we can have more electric cars then there will be incentive to develop green energy solutions like solar, wind etc. This car will not solve global warming but it's one of the many solutions.
This carversation on EV is unending because it started way before Tesla. Elon must woke up the entire world on EVs. Battery tech continues to gain momentum towards longevity. There are batteries that last longer than the vehicle itself (million mile battery 🔋). We may not be there just yet, but we are in the right direction. Solar energy is real, and I believe we can have solar powered charging stations. Hiyo Monday night Live si muniite?
serikali ya zakayo should lower importation taxes for such vehicles to be affordable because it can only benefit city taxi and uber business. lakini 4m mtu wa uber atatoa wapi??? na hadi si brand new 😄
Hii hakuna value for money at all. Running an ICE vs EV , there are no savings, running/ operation costs are at per. "Studies" or real world tests have shown... Theoritically, that an EV would have to be run for 20 years to realize savings.
I have been reading many ev reviews online and though range anxiety is valid, it is not a major issue, for instance how many car owners drive for more than 60km per day on daily basis? How many people drive to shags abruptly daily? How many Prado owners drive off-road even 3 times a month? I believe with more exposure to these EVs we will come to understand them better, we are also blessed with a lot of sunshine all year round and just as we install solar power to houses, we could install solar for charging the car and though we will have a high set-up cost we will have a charging system with benefits that are higher than the cost as currently solar has a guarantee of about 30yrs service. As for disposal of used lithium batteries, we never have normal lead acid batteries disposed anyhow, I think the same will apply. As for cost of replacing the packs, people are buying "obsolete" (used) replacement engines and gearboxes for over ¼M without bating an eye, what is a 1M battery pack with a 10yr guarantee?
The downside of electric vehicles is the lithium ion batteries and range anxiety......I will buy an electric vehicle that is if there are other forms of battery systems(longer range batteries)....Like China's small vehicle BYD which has a sodium ion battery...which is cheaper than lithium.....If more alternatives are built, the better.

Hydrogen is so much far behind in terms of real production. No manufacturer is doing it seriously enough for the technology to have any chance at competing with battery technology which is advancing very rapidly. They said battery energy density is low, well now there are already batteries with good enough energy density that battery powered airplanes are now feasible. All in all money is what determines the winner. Whoever captures the market first carries the day. Batteries have done just that.
@@realoverhaulthe smaller the battery the smaller the range and higher rate of use means bigger degradation and more lithium ion batteries being made and expelled when done for which is terrible for the environment (both ways)

Even if you have a Mazda Atenza and service it genuine parts with certified mechanic, plus fueling it, with the down time you won't get to spend 2m
A Toyota Prius, Camry hybrid, Crown hybrid or RAV4 hybrid would make economic sense. Fuel efficient and no range anxiety.
On disposal battery can be used for second life uses such as grid storage. It is also a business opportunity to sell to battery recycling companies

4 million for this car is overpriced. A brand new 2023 byd seagull with a blade battery costs 11400 dollars and can drive 400 km on a single charge
The best selling ev is tesla followed by byd
Nissan was the first since 2010.Thats tell you they are good in the game.
You guys are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Electric cars make sense when you have solar energy to charge it.
