Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Volvo

My 2015 Leaf has 148k on it and still drives like new. The battery is down to about 85% but this is pretty old lithium tech with very early thermal controls on it.

My EV is 8 this year. I've not noticed a drop in range over that time, but I'll find out when it goes in for its last battery health check before the warranty expires.

I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.

I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.

Only things that went a couple months back was the EGR and a window mechanism. And the battery a year before.

San Antonio Leaf driver here, a Leaf is fine in Texas as long as you don't want to do road trips (battery heating gets to be an issue around 250 miles on a 40kWh on the interstate). This sub is overwhelmingly negative on the Leaf, despite it being a good local commuter.

I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.

I have a friend who bght volvo XC-90. He had horrible experience with the battery in just couple of weeks and had to replace it as part of warranty.

I got a battery from Nissan under warranty. It has a 7 year 84K warranty if I recall. That battery less than 6 months later gave a fault and they replaced it again. '22 SV

the oem nissan battery had been replaced about a year prior, and it died in my driveway. the oem nissan batteries are crap.
