Thanks for rear beeping noise information. That warning beep was getting on my nerves. 😄

That "E-Pedal" is regenerative braking i understand. Puts power back into the battery like a dynamo, while its quite heavily braking under no load. Looks a great car, will be my first EV at some point.

Just ordered one, first elec car. Excited and apprehensive as its automatic. Can't work out cost of charging at home. Smart looker and comfortable

I do 100km per day, might go for a 60kw leaf, what you recon?

[taslad]

Maybe if you could slow down slightly, sounding a bit like an auctioneer apart from that all good

Did Nissan change the steering wheel that you can adjust it closer or further from you ?

[liambourke]

does the car battery degrade over time..similar to a smartphone battery?

Hi Brian did you check on the steering wheel ?

I remember the old Nissan Leafs 2010-2015 were absolutely awful, cheap boring plasticy interior with a crap real world range of 140 odd km, and everyone got stuck behind them on a Motorway, they are soo much better now, really good spec on it, I’m personally not a massive fan of the Leaf but they are a lot better than they used to be, I kinda could say that with all electric cars really

Disagree. Daily charge at home and rapid when traveling.
