I still think they proved a great and valid point.
Anybody got a link to the video of that episode? |

I agree, it shows real world usage and what the consequences would be.
It seems nissan got butthurt from someone showing real world usage of the car. Saying it wasn't fully charged is their defense?

Saying "This is what the manufacturer says but this is what REALLY happens when you use it like many folks will (i.e. not following the recommended instructions to the letter because people are, by nature, lazy)" seems pretty accurate to me.

Although in Japan, they are starting to come out with these battery swap stations, which would make sense.. When you're running low on juice you go to this place and it's all automated, switches out the battery pack and you're good to go for a while. They say it takes less than a minute.

Another thing I've never looked into cause I don't plan on getting an electric vehicle, but how long will they hold a charge?
If you plug it in until it's fully charged, then drive a mile to the airport for a month long trip, how much battery life will be left when you return? |
