How’s our old Nissan Leaf doing? Let's talk battery health, running costs, failed washer pump & more

A lot of people might tell you a 7-year-old electric car battery should be thrown into landfill so let’s see just how usable the car still is. I talk to an actual battery expert to get some facts, a minor service from Cleevely EV, I fix a washer pump, and make replacing a headlight bulb seem more complex than it probably is. Also, let’s talk running costs! A packed episode on a car I really don’t talk about enough.
