Yup. While it has more capacity, the platform is fundamentally the same as it was when it launched all those years ago.
It’s still chademo as well so that instantly rules out Ionity and Tesla chargers.

Yes, you would have thought they should be years ahead given they were the early innovators with the first gen. When the new one came out there were several tests/reviews where people found that you could do one session of rapid charging but if on a long trip with more than one rapid charge it throttled back the charge rate due to overheating. I would guess that the passive air cooling is designed to be more effective than the first gen but they held back from introducing liquid cooling.
We have a 2020 40kW Leaf, it's a great car. Never yet taken it anywhere where it need charging more than once, the chance of finding two operational Chademo chargers plus the slow charging makes that unappealing. It's our second car and does reliable commuting within it's battery range without issue.
It also doesn't have a charge limit, so we have to guess how long to charge it to avoid getting to 100% each time which is weird.
Nearly 4 years in and the battery is still at full health for us.
BMW were years ahead with the direct expansion cooling on the i3. Building on this, BMW cancelled all of project-i and their 10-year lead in lightweight pure-EV platforms.
Nissan basically stopped EV advancement after Ghosn left*.. he was the one pushing it. Everything since has been more of the same.
* 'left' is doing some heavy lifting here, I realize.

Yes, seemed to have been a feature of the Japanese manufacturers, doesn’t it?
They developed EVs when they were quirky and new and suddenly seem positively averse to the concept, having squandered a decade-worth of research and expertise.
Toyota, the inventor of the Prius, is being dragged into electrification kicking and screaming!

Private jet wasn't it? Yeah, I believe he had a blanket over his head as he huddled down behind the seats ...
I have a wireless temperature sensor that can detect up to 140℉, but I am thinking a Photoelectric smoke detector will probably alert first, before the fire gets hot enough to trigger the temperature sensor in the ceiling. At least with Tesla battery pack from videos of past fires, it usually start smoking first before there is any outward sign of fire.
The reason for heat alarms in kitchens is to reduce nuisance triggering when cooking food, not because they are ‘better’ at detecting fire. If anything they are worse and that’s by design.
A modern smoke alarm is really sensitive, a small amount of steam would trigger it and would go off all the time otherwise.

Indeed, but also why they tend to be recommended for dusty places such as lofts and garages, and for kitchens where smoke is a regular incident.
Clearly CGI created by the MSM on direction from WEF.
I once tried to light diesel with a match so it's clearly totally impossible for any fire to ever be fuelled by fossil fuels.

Nah obviously a hybrid that is the only logical explanation. The fire is clearly the wrong size/shape/colour/temperature/texture (delete as applicable) for a fuel fire

I'm still waiting on my winnings from the Luton Fire....
People were betting their House, Savings or were even going to eat their hat that is was an EV that started it.
Some were saying that its a government cover-up if the media said it was anything else.
Ah well
@Tonybvi - that's clearly a Tesla. You can tell by the way its parked

Yes, because all civil servants such as firefighters are always blindly loyal to their ministers and will all lie to protect a precious government policy that the government are watering down anyway. Also the mainstream media like the Mail are following this lie to avoiding criticising EV because something about globalists and globe earth belief and it's all just a theory.

Define “nearby”?
Statistically, there would more than likely have been a few EVs in the mix of hundreds of cars that burned down.
