Re: [EVDL] 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf recalled for braking problem, 46, 000 vehicles affected

2022-03-08 Thread Jay Summet via EV
Check your VIN against the recall checker. If it shows up, you get the 
repair for free. If it doesn't show up, either the repair was already 
done, or your vehicle is not affected.

Good luck.

Re: [EVDL] 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf recalled for braking problem, 46, 000 vehicles affected

2022-03-08 Thread EV List Lackey via EV
I'm pretty sure that Cor is right; safety recalls don't expire, although 
I've read that the manufacturer can challenge the requirement if the vehicle 
is more than 15 years old.

Do I recall right that your Leaf's VIN was NOT listed as one to which that 
recall applied?  If that's true, then you probably don't officially get a 
free fix for this.  

Have you tried calling Nissan customer service?  If you do a little sweet-
talking, they might agree to arrange a free or reduced-cost repair for the 
sake of goodwill and your continued business.

Re: [EVDL] mercedes "launcept" EQXX

For what it is worth:
I have a 2013 Leaf (not the best aerodynamics) and get consistently
just below 200Wh/mi at a steady 55MPH.
Have done 92 miles of freeway without running out of juice (just
getting the very low battery warning before arriving) with my 24kWh
pack.
So the 166 number (6 mi/kWh) is not out of the question, versus my
5.1mi/kWh in the Leaf.
NOTE: I keep high tire pressure of 43PSI and adjusted the toe to zero,
which changed efficiency from 3.8 before the changes...

The car has a 920-volt battery pack with an energy storage capacity of

...
The Vision EQXX features 117 solar cells on the roof that can add up to

Re: [EVDL] mercedes "launcept" EQXX

2022-03-08 Thread Peri Hartman via EV
With that Cd ? 166wh seems reasonable. They did build the concept

Sounds like hype to me. 166wh per mile!

A Mercedes electric would be cool but these are pipe dreams for a 
production vehicle

The Mercedes EQXX concept seems like a truly stellar car, which they
classify as "production-intent". Although, it probably will cost a
fortune.

Porsche one-upped Tesla with its Taycan electric with a Cd of just

In 2021, the Lucid Air with 0.21 Cd and Mercedes EQS with 0.20 Cd made
the competition quite intense among the aerodynamicists.

The car has a 920-volt battery pack with an energy storage capacity of
almost 100 kWh (net), and yet, it weighs just about 1,750 kg or 3,858
