Video Summary
Here's the summary of the provided YouTube video about a Nissan Leaf electric car:The 2016 Nissan Leaf 30 kWh Tekna model is the highest trim, equipped with features like a large touchscreen, leather interior, and backup camera.
The goal of this trip, from Oslo to Bergen, is to test the new battery pack.
The old model has 24 kWh with 21 kWh available while the new one has 30 kWh with 27 kWh available which is a 33% boost.
The new battery pack has lower internal resistance which should result in less heat when the battery is charged and allows for higher charging rates at 50 kWh up to 80% capacity.
Unlike Tesla, the car estimates range based on current driving conditions.
The car's steering is good and quiet, making it feel like a regular car.
The range indicator could be more reliable, as the car stops reporting the percentage left once a certain low battery level has been reached.
Driving range depends on battery temperature and elevation. It’s best to arrive at charging locations at 10-20% battery.
The car can cover approximately 150km/100 miles on a single charge. The overall trip took 8 hours, with the actual driving at 6.5 hours and 1.5 hours spent charging.
Arctic Road charging can be expensive.
