Our 62 kWh Nissan Leaf is 3 years old, but how far has the battery degraded?
#nissanleaf #electriccars #EV
This EV is 3 years old and has travelled over 50,000 km’s, but how has the battery held up?
We utilised "Leaf Spy Pro" on the iPhone (also available on android), to checkout the battery.
Is it still healthy? A lot of people believe EV batteries "Die" after 2 or 3 years.
Let’s find out ????
🎥 Originally filmed back in Autumn 2022
⚠️ Also take note, this is an old generation Lithium Ion Battery, not really manufactured in great quantities anymore.
LFP or Lithium Ion Phosphate are the latest generation batteries utilised by BYD and Tesla, the two biggest EV makers in the world
And these LFP batteries have even less battery degradation of time.
