(Bloomberg) -- From Tesla chargers in the ancient alleys that surround the Forbidden City in Beijing to lonely highway rest stops with charging posts in the western deserts, signs of the electrification of China’s transport fleet — and the demise of gasoline — are everywhere.Most Read from BloombergIn Traffic-Weary Toronto, a Battle Breaks Out Over Bike LanesIn Italy’s Motor City, Car-Free Options Are GrowingNew York City’s ‘Living Breakwaters’ Brace for Stormier SeasNow, according to official s
I don’t know why everyone forgets one of the first EVS. Look at getting a Nissan leaf, they are awesome.
I’ve got a few years left on the Mazda. If the leaf can get access to Tesla chargers I might be game.
Fair enough. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I never use public chargers anyways, it’s all home charging.
Ooof. So we only have street parking here, but we have a public charger just steps from the house (not Tesla)
Didn’t the first Gen leafs have absolutely terrible battery quality such that they were junked in just a couple years?
First gen leafs are almost 15 years old at this point, they, until the design change, didn’t include dedicated battery heating and cooling tech which is part of why their batteries didn’t last as long as later models.
Any one newer than 2015 shouldn’t have these issues, and many have been retrofitted with newer batteries today. There are older gen Leafs still on the market however you just have to be mindful of the battery health, especially given they had much smaller batteries back then. If the health is low on one of those old batteries though you’ll be lucky to get 100km range, so the older first gens have limited use cases today.
Yup but that’s to be expected being literally one of the first to market. Most issues are now worked out.
