How much range does the new Nissan Leaf (2018) have in the cold? 162 km at -30 degrees.

Now spring is beginning in Poland, but winter will return in eight months. What is the range of the new Nissan Leaf in the cold? How many kilometers will we travel without recharging? A Russian living in Siberia decided to check it out. The car was probably imported from Japan, hence the wrong side of the steering wheel and the Japanese lettering.

Judging by the footage shown in the video, the car was moving in D (Drive) mode at a constant speed of about 80-90 kilometers per hour. With such a ride on a single charge, the car traveled exactly 161,9 km. The Leaf (2018) flight range in good conditions is 243 kilometers., i.e. very severe frost reduced the battery capacity by 1/3.

This suggests that in the winter months prevailing in Poland, the new Leaf should easily cover 180-210 kilometers on a single charge. Of course, while maintaining the speed within 80-100 km / h.
