There are a number of effects that stack up to create the reduced range phenomenon. First, when cold, a cold lithium ion cell's internal...
The 2020 Leaf Plus (the 62kWh one) can charge at "100kW." I haven't seen what that translates to in real life. There are 100kW CHAdeMO...
Some are still a concern in the Gen 2 Leaf. Some aren't. On the upside: The 40kWh and 60kWh packs use NMC cells (nickel manganese cobalt). While...
The gen 1 Nissan Leaf is notorious for degradation. This is not because it's old, but because the engineers cut corners. 1. Passive air cooling....

Engineer #3 here, predictably agreeing with the others. Most PMAC motors today hit 90% efficiency at around 35-40% load. As others point out, the...
Well, using 28¢/kWh for the M3 and $4.30/gal for the A4 (premium fuel), assuming a primarily highway commute, ≈15k mi/yr, and adding in $250/yr...
