Battery kilometres, \u00a0it seems are significantly shorter than real kilometres. Many mornings setting off on what is a round trip of only 7 kms to the local school would see the range reduce by\u00a0up to 20 kms.<\/p>\n<p>As a result I had spent the last two weeks not straying far from the safety and reassurance of a charging point. But by the third week, confidence was growing in my ability to cultivate trees on the dashboard and I was ready to embark on a longer journey.<\/p>\n<p>Chief among which was a trip to Belvedere House\u00a0 and back for a Treasure hunt. 120 km round trip, two adults in the front, and two children in the back in car seats\u00a0 would surely test whether a Zero Emission car could really provide reliable transportation as our family car.\u00a0 I could cope with the range anxiety but not actually running out of charge on the way home, I may be forced to jettison one of the kids\u00a0to lighten the load and improve the range.<\/p>\n<p>But before embarking on the family trip to Belveldere house I did a run to the airport. At 90kms of a round trip it should be well within the range of the Leaf and it was. For one glorious journey on the way to the airport I left with 166kms on the dash and arrived at the airport with 155 still intact, my 45km journey had taken just 11 kms in range thanks to my new eco friendly driving.\u00a0 The return run burst the fantasy when I managed to use close to twice the actual range but even so it was a significant turning point.\u00a0 For the first time I realised that range could be managed, unlike the fuel gauge in your car, it was only an approximation and could be extensively extended under the right conditions.<\/p>\n<p>So week three was breakthrough week, we had scaled the reasonable \u201clong distance\u201d heights in our new family car, and returned from our Treasure hunt without having to stop to charge the car or ring for breakdown assistance.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-with-a-leaf-week-1\/\">Living with a leaf &#8211; week 1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-with-a-leaf-week-two\/\">Living with a leaf &#8211; week 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/nine-things-learned-driving-nissan-leaf-4-weeks\/\">9 Things I learned about driving an EV &#8211; week 4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nissan Leaf SVE (30KWH)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Engine:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a080kW(@3008-10000, 254@0-3008<br \/>\n<strong>Max speed:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0145km\/h<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>0-100 kph:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>11.5 seconds<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Emissions :<\/strong>\u00a0 0g\/km<br \/>\n<strong>Model price range:<\/strong>\u00a0\u20ac21,490 (Test Car \u20ac26,390)<br \/>\n<strong>No of Doors:<\/strong>\u00a05 doors<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP :<\/strong>\u00a05 stars<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel type:<\/strong>\u00a0 Electric<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel Economy (combined cycle):\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a00 L\/100km<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity Seats up:<\/strong>\u00a0 355 litres<br \/>\n<strong>Car Seats:<\/strong>\u00a02 Isofix fittings in the rear<br \/>\n<strong>Length<\/strong>: 4445 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong>\u00a01770 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong>\u00a01550 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Wheelbase:<\/strong>\u00a02700 mm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-with-a-leaf-week-1\/\">Living with a Leaf &#8211; Week 1<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-with-a-leaf-week-two\/\">Living with a Leaf &#8211; Week\u00a02<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nissan.ie\/\">Nissan.ie\u00a0<\/a>Nissan Ireland\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NissanIreland\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page\u00a0or follow them on twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NissanIreland\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Geraldine Herbert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15th\u00a0November, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its week three of driving an electric car\u00a0and its time to venture a little further afield\u00a0writes Geraldine Herbert According to Nissan you can do 250 kms between charge but my own experience up to now had been quite different if you use the heated seats and air con pretty much like you normally would it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2673,117,2885],"tags":[1385,774,52,657],"class_list":["post-16059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electric-cars","category-latest","category-living-with-a-leaf","tag-electric-vehicle","tag-ireland","tag-nissan","tag-nissan-leaf"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
