Nope, the Leaf gen 1.5 is not the smart choice. Better looks than gen 1 and more battery but it doesn't go far enough with a few things.
Probably only 110ish freeway miles at 65 mph at normal ambient temperatures but still NO thermal cooling for hot temps and charging. Is it better than the three Leafs currently in our family? Yes, on range but not up to speed to compete with Bolt and Tesla.
Nissan is still suspect when it comes to battery degradation and rated distance. Other than that, it is a well made car and we love our cars. We are disappointed that Nissan has not stepped up to the plate to have equaled the range of the Bolt or Model 3. It is also equally a let down that they have not truly addressed their battery degradation problems.
I believe they got caught flat footed...
