Last week I fortunate enough to borrow a Nissan Leaf Tekna for a day and make a couple of videos giving my initial thoughts and reactions.

Honestly, I was rather impressed. Once the range is improved, I think it'd be something worth considering (that applies to the majority of EVs TBH).

Nice, thanks. Been considering one but will wait for the longer range version they are releasing in 2019.

I imagine the longer range will only put it towards 150ish or so... TBH, it's probably enough for most people (in fact, guarantee it is for every day use), but having a 300mile range would be better

I imagine the actual range will fall far below Nissan’s figures. If I you’ve got a the usual number of electrical things on, like fan/heater/air conditioning, lights, radio and satnav etc, don’t expect to get back home from a trip down the motorway.

The 2018 leaf has a 40kwh battery, whilst the 2019 one is to have a 60kwh battery. Expecting a roughly 50% longer range.
