New Leaf has coolant system for battery thermal management. Older gens did not and excessive heat was the killer.

I thought the Leaf had finally switched to thermal battery management?

The new one that is just hitting the market now has it.

There is one up the street from me. They've had it for a few years and I've only seen it on a tow truck once.

Went in not wanting or needing awd ended up with awd and supercruise and everything else last non base car I bought was 30 years ago funny thing is it was almost the same price. And both have hud.

Is this replacing the volt? What colour did you get?

Black not sure I may sell a van and keep the volt to drive to work as it makes it there and back for almost nothing instead of 150 a week in the truck.

After tax too? ie. out-the-door?

If so, that's amazing!

Yes out the door it seemed pretty good. Was really nice to drive as well.

Went in and did a quick 'Build' ... nice discount shown on the RS:

I'd be lying if I wasn't considering switching the Maverick / Odyssey for an EV/PHEV right now...$1.72/L this morning in my area.

Too many kids = not enough space in most vehicles besides a van.

Word of caution with PHEV. Very practical with short trips within the battery range rating. If you do long distance, it behaves just like a hybrid so, it’s fine.

However, in my case of PHEV, the fuel tank is much smaller than the regular hybrid version of the same vehicle.

Once battery depleted and running petro, the smaller tank has much less range than the normal hybrid version.

This winter I’m 4L per 100km and 30% to 40% electric. Warmer months will likely be 50% ev mileage.

Ford Escape PHEV

Escape hybrid also allows for awd with larger fuel tank but, doesn’t get the same ev mileage.
