Sample test-drive video:

The Nissan Leaf was an EV pioneer but it’s been long in the tooth for years. The all-new third generation is improved in every way with up to 303 miles of range, faster charging speed (now with NACS!) and a liquid cooled battery pack.​

There are many other similar videos about the new Leaf because they had a press event.

Yea, the new Leaf looks like a lot for the money Just for clarity though, that range is for the bigger battery variant that is around $31,500 delivered.

The Leaf. The new Bolt. The Equinox. The Kona. The EV3 if you live in Europe. They all have the advantage that they are reasonably affordable BEVs on sale today (except the mythical Bolt - due late 2025).

Actually, that goes for used BEVs right now. You can get premium BEVs that are 24 to 36 months old for around half price. Absolute steals.

I read that they will have both NACS and CCS charge ports, which is pretty neat. Makes it so you don't have to carry around a $200 adapter to use one type of charger

The Ioniq 3 just got announced too. No confirmation that it's coming to the US, but I'm happy to see another hot hatch rather than another SUV/crossover. I hope it does come to the US as well

You still need adapters cause the ccs doesn’t support dc fast charging and the nacs only support dc fast charging.

Ah! Should have known it was too good to be true.

Aside from the new Ford Model T moment, all the above referenced EV’s represent solid proof that Slate is already putting downward pressure on prices. And we are still ~15 months away from production.

This is a big win for consumers.

NACS is only for fast charging though. 1772 port is used for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging only. Which is probably going to confuse some people at first if the dealership doesn’t clearly explain that to them.

Only if Slate survives since if the strategy is penetrative pricing to make Slate look like a worst value while eating market share works they can easily raise their prices later one. It definitely seems like it’s Nissan’s strategy since I don’t know why else they would be just eating a 15% tariff. But yeah it’s part of the reason why I want Slate to succeed since they will be forced to find ways to make their vehicles more and more affordable as the competition does. Driving the average prices of a vehicle down as a result. The other reason is just because Slate is just a freaking cool made in America Truck.

In part these announcements of cheaper vehicles may have more to do with the loss of the tax credit, and keeping prices palatable for buyers than possible competition from the Slate over a year out. That was one of the problems with the tax credit, it propped prices up.

Nissan wouldn't have had the capacity to keep up with demand for a Leaf advertised at $17,860 after tax incentive, so they made higher priced models, at higher profit per unit, and sold as many as they could make.
With the incentive gone, they are making a cheaper package, so they can still sell the numbers they can produce.

 

[Dorbiman]

I really hope the $25K Leaf lights a fire under Slate. If their whole shtick is “cheap”, it’s hard to compete with that Leaf, if the pickup form factor is negotiable. (Big if)

I don’t see this selling much better than the outgoing model. My Leaf has 1 pedal driving, don’t understand why Nissan discontinued that for Aria and now the new Leaf. Also, failing to get a frunk under that hood is a huge miss. Lastly, having a J-1772 for Level 1 and Level 2 and reserving NACS for DCFC makes no sense. NACS can handle all charging needs, they should have just done that and avoided all the complexity of having 2 separate charging circuits. If I bought this Leaf I’d have to use a J-1772 adapter at home so I could Level 2 charge with my NACS Mobile connector and the Leaf has a NACS port on it. Slate has a 5 foot bed, a NACS port for all charging needs and 7 cu feet of frunk space. Advantage Slate. I hope buyers of the new Leaf don’t have to wait a year after buying it for Nissan to have a software update to make Apple CarPlay work.
