    With a Nissan Leaf it's yes to all those. The 24kW, 40kw and 63kW v batteries are all available and one standard fit on all models. In the higher mileage USA a lot of owners have upgraded their batteries, not many here since we have enough low mileage drivers here to want the older models. .

    The motor trade has always been the same. They first learnt their dishonesty in the 1920s and to a large extent have never changed since. I left it after ten years. But as my last post shows there is a reason for their high service pricing, it's necessary to survive. The difference between...

    There certainly is a problem for the motor trade, in part in the sheer reliability of e-cars, but it predates them a long way back into i.c. cars. Remember the Mini, the real one in 1959, not the BMW fake. Service interval with oil and filter change at 3000 miles and a long list of things to...

    Except that we Leaf owners and most other e-car owners don't have to, since their systems look after that perfectly. It's mainly only owners of certain Tesla models who have that worry, just one of the many reasons I would never own any Tesla. Still had to get back into those habits for...

    One day perhaps you'll learn not to argue with someone who knows and owns the car in question. Google AI is effectively wrong on the key points: e-Pedal This system allows the driver to accelerate and brake with one pedal. When the e-Pedal is activated, the car slows down and stops smoothly...

    Possibly, but I don't see a need, given what you say is an outmoded system does what you ask already. Changing the pads on existing EVs is such a rare event that it's the subject of complaints by trade! Despite all the attempts by the anti-EV movement to show otherwise, e-cars are so...

    The JD Power answer is inadequate since most cars with one pedal mode use the brakes. Tesla do have their fully regen one pedal mode, but they are just one of a large number of e-car manufacturers. And as they stress, one should not rely one pedal braking all the time. For disc rusting...

    Utter nonsense. One car, possibly not in use due to being for sale, showing a problem. That isn't a case to rest. Get some EV driving and use experience, then you'll know better. Even test drives will do to understand the models better. I've had those both before choosing mine, and since...

    You misunderstand that function Chris. They Include my car which also has the one pedal option, but they all use the brakes to do that. The upper part of the lift off progressively uses the brakes Like most drivers I find it unpleasant, using the brakes unnecessarily. A competent...

    Another desperate fantasy from the anti-EV crowd who, in saying this, show that they know nothing about them. A criticism of EV cars in general is that the regen levels are poor until the brake pedal is employed as well. My Leaf is typical of this, lift off and there's a very small level of...

    Nowhere in any of my posts on this subject have I ever said "soon end", that is pure fabrication. Indeed I've often stressed the delay periods. But if the public didn't like the planned changes, and most don't, long ago was the time to protest and make it an electoral issue. Now and...

    You seem to be thinking in now terms but this is not about now. This is about changes that are intended for the next 40 or so years. First the cut off of i.c. car sales in 10 years time, but of course those i.c. cars will last at least 23 years from new on present experience, so the effect...

    Once again, I am NOT advocating anything. I am just commenting on political intentions that I dislike as much as you, even more since my driving years go back further into lost freedoms than yours. If my time wasn't almost up I'd probably be as angry as you, but for me there is no point now...

    Of course they are, but as I've repeatedly said, this is intentional and it isn't going to change, The writing has been on the wall ever since 1972 and the Arab oil crisis, the political response to that making the car future clear even then. Although the phrase Micro Mobility was yet to be...

    You'll have to do better than that incoherent chump! So the car market, new and second hand, has been ruined for dealers! Of course it has, that is much of the political point of this change to EVs. The days of near universal car ownership are ending with the change to EVs that are many...

    We are all different. I caught it in the first year's original infection in May. That didn't trouble me at all since I needed no medical attention whatsover, but I assumed it gave me some immunity since I missed both the Alpha (Kent) variant and the Delta variant, despite so many around me...

    Changes to selling e-bikes, conversion kits and batteries on eBay.co.uk - No more private (personal) sales.

    Now that really is the best way of producing thick, jet black, known carcinogenic tar coatings on food. All barbecue invitations I get receive a "thanks, but no thanks" from me. I don't see the attraction of half raw, half burnt to a cinder food. .
