Yesterday, my son Clement and I went for an afternoon test drive of the New LEAF lended to by for the week end by Nissan West Europe ...
Leaving from our parking in Boulogne
Unplug test with the J1772 lock on
Black Inside
Battery gage in %
Bird view 4 cam is an awesome feature, but only available at extra low speed
My Charging Equipment for LEAF and Vectrix over the last 2.5 years
The heat is on but is using very little power :-)
Eiffel Tower
Pont Alexandre III
Place de Clichy, and a very good British vehicle for the city, with a lot of smoke
Montmartre
Let's go up the hill
Sign says: "Paris Respire"
Stuck in Montmartre touristic crowd
Sacré Coeur
Place du Tertre behind
Again, usefull 4 cam view at low speed, to see tourists feet distance from the wheels
Beaubourg / Centre Pompidou
Chatelet / Les Halles
Stuck in traffic, and at one point I decided to use the BUS lane .... got pulled over and eventually got no ticket since a "non polluting vehicle" can use it ! I learned something from this police officer and will use them now :-)
Did I mention I got the 6kW dual charger version ? - like in a Model S -
And we finally lended next to Mairie du 3eme arrondissement, where the Autolib allows charging upfront, easier for a LEAF - but I took my J1772 extension cable in the trunk anyways -
Selfie
Café near Marché des Enfants Rouges
Phone booth
Nice place to hang out
Cafe Creme
Fashion designer / Store
/ Cafe too
Back to our LEAF, we realized it had not ben charging at all ... I forgot to turn off the charge program ... oh well
But we got billed anyways ... so it is not based on charging only but also swipping your badge on the charging station lid - it is a bit special because it is the third party EV charging station here, for scooters also, so that might explain -
LEAF allowed in the BUS LANE !
Place de la Republique
and we will use this Bus Lane a lot from Republique to Opera, on the way back
Porte Saint Martin
Cops
in the Bus Lane still
A little stop at K-Mart, a Korean market that carries Japanese food, and we took some fresh fish for TeMaki; LED lights for the ceilling
Palais de Tokyo - in Paris -
Tour Eiffel by night, nice
and we are back in Boulogne ...
