I enjoyed this video & didnt know it locked the charging cable in, that's always been one of my queries wondering how the owners rest knowing the cable is on display. Great video, thanks Tina

Many thanks - thinking of getting a Nissan Leaf in the new year and this explained one of my major questions. Good to see how easy they are to charge from home.

REMEMBER ...IN THE LONG RUN ....THE LESS YOU CHARGE YOUR LEAF ...AND THE SLOWER YOU CHARGE IT ....WILL KEEP YOUR BATTERY IN GOOD SHAPE!
USE AC 110 AT HOME OVER NITE ...TRY TO AVOID USING DC FAST CHARGERS! ...
DO NOT "TOP-OFF" ALL OF THE TIME IF POSSIBLE! ...LET THE BATTERIES BALANCE.

I don't care about saving the environment, I just don't wanna pay for gas.

there is no problem using an extension cable as long as it is properly rated for the amperage draw... They cost around $110.00 us dollars for a 25 foot cable...

Tina you legend. Thank you for the video. Really didn’t know that you could charge it from a normal plug. I thought you had to have a fancy outdoor car plug socket.

You don't want to leave the box swinging from the plug, it's too heavy. It needs some sort of support, eg a hook on the wall and some string to take the wight off the flex/plug/box.

This is a great channel, definitely a useful review!!! How much does it cost on your monthly power bill? Wonder what it'd cost for the entire car ownage... insurance, financing rate, tax, and the charging costs associated with it. The great review though. Are you planning to do a follow-up review of each electric car?

[BobSmith-dned]

I believe in this channel and I think it will get really big!

[MsWearer]

I’m still contemplating getting an electric car. This looks so easy. Is it much cheaper to run an electric car? I worked out each month it’s going to cost me around £380 a month to run a petrol car with finance, tax, insurance and petrol. 😭

Peace… Shalom… Salam... Namaste and Thank You so much for All that you are doing for our Mother Earth 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ❤

Hi everyone so this is a normal plug in the house? Thank you 🙏🏼

[seymourpro]

So! Plug in charger to car and mains and it charges.

[mattlumpkins]

Oh great. So I could have a Nissan Leaf without having to have a special charging unit installed in my house? I can just use a regular outlet? I don't mind the speed of charging, the important thing is that I don't have to get things installed.

Tina, How long is your lead? I have to back my car into the garage so to the three pin plug is 13 feet away from the front of the car. Will I have a problem?

[qqqqqqqqqq]

Can you drive this car in the rain or in a puddle or will you get a shock?

[endurolucasadventure]
