A new barrier :

just want to be properly informed so hopefully I make right decisions.

It's not illegal what I'm thinking AFAIK.The prices listed on all the car dealer sites are for a private customer who can avail of the 5000 SEAI grant that's due to expire this year.Taxis are no longer allowed to get it.

The bigger 62kw leaf isnt listed on the NTA or eligible vehicles and isn't on the SEAI list either. Probably would be acceptable but best to check first.

It is

Ah good!

Kia e-Niro looks ok....and the range is decent.

The biggest reason to buy the Kia would be the liquid-cooled battery for longevity.It's a little ugly IMO and more expensive.

More expensive than the Leaf?....doesn't seem to be.

I think it was getting a premium over the leaf a while back Hal.Maybe not anymore.

In comparison to the equal 62kw battery it's not really.

[mercenary for hire]

I'm trying to remember but I'm thinking the there was only one mid spec  Niro 64kw in the beginning that was the same price as the fully kitted out leaf 62.Nissan included full leather in the top spec but the equivalent Niro has only half leather for the same price.Back then there was a waiting list.Dunno about now.

That top spec leaf has auto pilot.Probably doesn't need us at all.

On a day like today where you need the heating on .What % of your battery would be required for heating and what impact would that have on range ?

[mercenary for hire]

Who cares John you certainly won't be driving one.

[Shallowhal]

Manufacturer blurb and real world data are generally a good bit apart...although you can set the heating to come on in the morning on a Leaf while it's still on a charge before you head off.

It's safe to say anyone who interested in buying an electric car has already done their research.All these stupid questions John keeps asking have been answered multiple times in previous threads.
