Nissan Leaf Service Guide
The Nissan Leaf is one of the pioneering mass-market EVs, with over 500,000 sold worldwide. Its air-cooled battery (no active thermal management) makes it more susceptible to degradation, especially in extreme temperatures. Minnesota's cold winters actually help slow degradation compared to hot climates, but range can drop significantly. The Leaf's relatively simple EV architecture makes it accessible to Level 1 shops for basic service.
