Nissan Leaf 2018

2018 Nissan Leaf: what owners report

• Battery capacity loss shows up with age: two 2015 owners report it (one lost a capacity bar at five years, one pack stopped charging at 72k miles), and a 2018 owner is down to about 140 miles after six years.2015–2018
• Owners of the 2015 and 2018 Leaf say sustained highway driving eats range quickly; one 2018 owner reports roughly 100 miles at 70 mph.2015–2018
• On the 2018 second-generation Leaf with the 40 kWh pack, DC rapid charging slows sharply after repeated sessions in one day as the passively cooled battery heats up; Nissan called this a protective feature.2018
• US owners of the 2015, 2018 and 2020 Leaf keep coming back to running costs: no oil changes, very little servicing and cheap charging at home.2015–2020
