Over Double the Range?! Nissan LEAF 50kWh Battery Upgrade with VIVNE Modules

Video Description

Sean’s trusty old 24kWh Nissan LEAF still runs great, but with only ~80 miles of range, it struggles on longer trips. So what happens if we swap in a 50kWh battery upgrade? The result could be nearly 200 miles of real-world range, turning this LEAF into a truly practical family EV. In this video, we head to The EV Workshop in Herne Bay, Kent to install 50kWh battery modules from VIVNE. Watch as we take on the challenge of a Nissan LEAF battery swap, share what we learn along the way, and show how this upgrade can give an old EV a brand-new lease of life. 👉 If you’re interested in EV conversions, battery upgrades, or Nissan LEAF mods, this one’s for you! 🔔 Note: At 34:20 I show the cost of it all but I completely forgot about import duty which is *ridiculously expensive*. The shipping ("DDP: Delivered Duty Paid") was actually $1,850. VIVNE were completely clear about that in e-mails, it's just my fault for forgetting about it when editing. 🤦‍♂️ This video is sponsored by EVision Electric Vehicles, the UK’s first and largest all-electric vehicle rental company https://www.evisionevs.co.uk • 01634 914063 Use the code MREV5 for 5% off the rental hire.
