8.57 in the UK. It was 5 under the last US Administration.

UK seem to consider a 45 minute drive a long commute and generally drive smaller cars. Not saying it changes the price just that even if your gas costs double ours, you still probably spend significantly less. My gas truck costs $170 to fill up at $3.50/gal, usually once a week. Just because driving 100-200 miles a day hauling material is normal. From what I hear about Europe that is not the case.

i saw it halarious

She might done this, so he stop doing in front of her. Must say, it could result.

I thought the camera was on a stand and it was the stand making that noise as she turned it towards him. haha!

I doubt he would pass a California emissions test.

Maybe if you put the gas in a generator it might charge a mile of range.

We have the winning comment, folks!

except that they have no cooling.

I noticed that too. Guess he’s not too worried and will probably replace it when he swaps the tires.

Also noticed the right front brake line is running on the cv shaft?

I also noticed that the tierod had been probably bent back and the sway bar link boot was opened up.

I also noticed that wizard shit his pants

Well spotted

Yep, very clear at 13:28. Think that'll need a new wheel.

And the front right brake hose rubbing on the drive shaft/Axel. But I'm pretty sure he's aware of them!

He will definitely find out when he tries to get new tires in the fall

I've dealt with more bent rims over the years than I care to think about, both on aluminum and steel rims. A dent that small won't make any difference. If it was going to leak it already would have. If he is concerned about it, next time he gets tires he can either buy a used one, or he can have the it repaired if there's a wheel shop in his area.

He was still dizzy from the fumes he created prior. Flat floor, dangerous gas trap 😅

Wizard making up for the Leaf's lack of emissions.

Just a small note, the batteries one these leafs weigh about 800lb. Be VERY careful removing it.

Yes right rear, hope it's not bad.

Noticed it too on the rear wheel.

Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed that!

Ah! Car Wizard you missed the big dent in the left/rear wheel. As you were spinning it I saw it and then you said everything looks good there and I laughed out loud :)

Yeah massive flat spot on the rear right (inside). Looks like it's taken a decent hit

Im thinking the same

Mostly tax.

Come over to Greece buddy. Its now 1.75

Fake news gas will always be cheap. Thanks to lovely Republicans like the god President Trump. Have fun with your dorky electric cars while I use my Hummer to easily do road trips and I only have to pay about $5 a gallon and I get 11 miles per gallon so do the math geekbait

Or Dala's EV repair in Finland. He put on some very interesting videos on the procedure also on youtube.

@@fintrollpgr as far as i can tell they use Muxsan products as well :)

Noise and emissions

Since it isn't a Tesla, you gotta make the farts yourself

I don’t believe the leaf keeps it’s battery environmentally controlled - that would be a part of the issue.

Sharp!

I went back and looked at that. Sharp eye on the brake line issue.

Right rear wheel rim has a ding on the inside.

How many leafs can a bendpak lift lift if a bendpak could lift leafs

For the existing batteries, I'm sure the AC port is adequate. But yeah, he'll really want DC charging if he expands the capacity.

@@TimHoppen still takes two and a half hours - at best (assuming 60% residual capacity and that you can charge at full speed until full, which you probably can’t). DC would at least give you a significant amount in ten minutes, topping up will be tough though - probably won’t stay at peak speed for too long. At any point, I don’t think anyone would invest in DC charging on such a worn out battery without planning to swap the battery (or swapping the battery first). While I think swapping batteries is a great idea for keeping old EV’s going, the flip-side is that if you’re in an accident the insurance company is unlikely to make you whole again. A 2013 Leaf is worth $4-5000? That’s what they’ll want to pay out. So, if you spend $3-5000 on a swap, you’ll be likely to lose that money unless you have a good insurance.

@@magnusbae yeah, there is that insurance risk. I suspect some company somewhere can account for that in a policy, but he (or other EV owners doing the same) would have to specifically look for a policy that accounts for that. I guess my "it's adequate" point was also assuming his description of his normal use, driving to work and back home. He doesn't have range to go anywhere else. At either location, he's got hours of time to charge on chargers that he owns. In his typical use, it's not a *huge* deal. Once he swaps batteries, he'll go more places and could actually take advantage of faster charging. ... I just thought of this, forgetting something at home would be a pain. You can't just turn around and go back to grab your phone or whatever because you only have so much range and it takes forever to charge back up. Still probably not worth upgrading to DC charging just for that (maybe? I don't know)

100%, I'm ready for my first EV as well and interested in this series.

So that is what the future *smells* like! (8:50) . . . LOL. . . Looking forward to The Wizard's work on this and other EVs.

@@quallzone6219 👏😂👏😂👏😂

Now if only we had the electricity generating infrastructure to power tens of millions of these cars. We don't and we likely never will if the green nutjobs have anything to say about it.

@@saltyapostle44 Knowledge is king, stupidity gets boring. And you might have lost the evolution of decentralised power generation using windmills on and offshore and solar power. You will pay the bills, which we do no longer have to pay cause we invested once for 25 years We produce power from bio mass plants, hydro power from dams, wind turbines and a lot more - and as inventors we sell the green tech across the globe cause smart people buy that stuff and not fossils from the arab states to burn in cars. There is enough power and no issue to charge these cars cause what are you doing at home ? Turning on a sauna which will usually take 6 to 10 kW or a shower water heater running at 22 kW. So why shouldn't everyone charge his EV over night with 6 kW each hour, so 72 kWh over a night ? That will be enough for 300 km and who rides every day 300 km ? just a few, while the average guy in europe is riding less than 40 km by average, so even with a small european 230V socket running 10A or 2,3 kW you can charge over night in 12 hours 24 kWh or 150 km of range without any issues for the grid. The grid had been developed from the 50th during eras of full uneffcient production and high power demand which had been replaced by high efficient production lines and therefore these old lines have a lot of reserves from that era. Check your old OSRAM bulb that was a heat generator delivering 80W but only 10W of light where you nowadays use what ? 10W or just 1/8 of the power needed before. 40 km of range charged of night will be achieved in 4 hours with slowest charging speed of 2,3 kW which also lets the battery benefit. We have both kinds of cars, fast EV and very fast and long distance Mercedes Diesel . Charged from the roof the cost per km are low cause 4 cent per kWh means 1€ per 100 km cause we do not charge outside, only from the solar roof. And beyond battery range we use Diesel to avoid time loss or missing convenience. But you can dream on about infrastructure - like deep water horizon and the damages that were caused by that single incident, the cross american oil pipelines and their leaks and accidents. Nice to watch the US struggling to get the right things done first and relying on outdated tech as in the past even incapable to develope a vaccine.

I bet there lifetime carbon footprint is about the same too.

@@MOE-db8oc Not if you charge the leaf economically. The Wizard needs solar cells on his roof and a Wind Turbine on his newly acquired land.

@@MOE-db8oc not even close. There's info out there, Engineering Explained, that shows in a few years just how vast the difference becomes.

The nice thing about the roadmaster as it’s paid for though right?

Was just about to point out the same thing at 13:28.

I saw that too. A flat spot on the inside of the RR wheel. It can probably be repaired.

depending on area, temps, and battery generation/type, that can be as much as 1/2.

1/4 would be fine, but in very cold climates it is often much higher than that.

Some is because of battery heating etc .. the newer heat pumps in m3 and mY and vw id4 solve that a lot

We own a 2016 Kia Soul EV. I live in Southern Ontario (Canada). It actually loses about 1/3 of its range in the winter in extreme cold ie

@@joelmarold Tesla's battery management system is industry leading, I just wish they sold that and their powertrains to other manufacturers. I cannot buy into their quality and "lease not own" purchase model to get my hands on that tech. They should have just focused on building powertrains and battery systems and left building cars to the people that already know how to do it well.

Agreed, Leaf Spy is absolutely essential for monitoring by our battery SOH.

No fast charger means no long trips...

Nissan didn’t care about hot weather either .. “air cooling” murders these batteries

Nah. Even if gas goes to $10 it will still be the smallest part of my ownership cost.

Be careful, Nissan decided NOT to cool the batteries. It was a bad mistake for anyone in warm climates, steep hills, or higher speed driving.

@@aussie2uGA Well I live in a pretty flat part of Minnesota, so maybe not such a big deal here. Thanks for the info though!

This is a first generation 24kWh battery Leaf, that started with a new range of 70-80 miles. They started offering the first generation car with a 30kWh battery in 2016 which added about 20 miles range, and a second generation from 2017 on equipped with a 40kWh or 60kWh battery options which took the range to around 150 or 220 miles. Often the battery degradation is limited to only a few cells in the pack, and swapping just a few cells will return a large proportion of the lost range. As Nissan didn’t liquid cool the battery, swapping a few cells is fairly easy to do.
