    Wow, Nissan did a great job with this one. They are back in the game!

      It’s exactly what the LEAF (and Nissan) needed if they were going to keep using the name. -Travis

    How will they differentiate this from the Ariya? On paper and even the interior appearance is quite similar. It’s like a facelifted cost-cutting version

      Like Toyota does with a Corolla and a Camry; size and price amongst other things. This is going to come in noticeably less expensive I expect and it’s got a different enough persona that it’ll draw a different buyer. -Travis

    How many people are going to try to plug in a Tesla Destination charger and wonder why it won’t charge? Like I said in your other video, this will just confuse people. Great video. Love the color selects for the Leaf.

      And not even just Destination chargers, all the Level 2 stations that will be installed or cables that replace existing J1772 plugs down the road. -Travis

      No I am not that stupid. I have a 24 kWh leaf now 2 separate charge port is no big deal

    The shape looks more Tesla Model Y than the Toyota.

    My only complaint about the exterior is how the taillights on the hatch are behind a window.

    If Nissan can’t figure out how to create a proper AC/DC, J3400 charging system, just stick with CCS1. It’s sad to see Nissan’s EV technology fall so far behind, even Toyota. And Nissan shouldn’t even mention it is based on a dedicated platform with such mediocre specs. Since there are far more impressive EVs, on mixed powertrain platforms.

    But at least It’s finally turned over a new leaf and has active thermal management. Whoopi. Had high hopes, what a disappointment. Still have hope for the future Bolt.

    I love the redesign, but agree that the Leaf isn’t class leading in any big way, it’s just now competitive. I went to Nissan’s website and they have images of the other trim levels. Only the Platinum gets the 2 3 holographic rear lights. All other trims have a body color back panel and only the 2 bars, resulting in a very different and plain look.

    I was going to go watch the Auto Buyers Guide review of it, but it’s such a disappointment it would be depressing.

    FWIW, the new format of reporting on EVs in the different channels, Is a little strange, since it’s still will trigger EV haters. And it’s still a little confusing and redundant for viewers who want all the information, about an EV. But I guess that helps the YT algorithm, so it’s all good,

    Oh no, not Volkswagen, although from Japan and only Volkswagen can make a Volkswagen. I wonder how it is going to compare with the upcoming Bolt.

    Nissan turning over a new leaf? No… doesn’t seem so.

    What is that small square cut out on the front passenger side?

    Any details on the V2L abilities? How many watts will it output? I am guessing just 120V, no split phase 240v for home level backup. Any V2L is a nice addition though.
