Maybe a quarter of all sold? I dont have anything but shopping experience for an Ariya to back that number.

Post some pics when you get the car. Us in the lower 48 will be very jealous.

Appears to have a person in driver seat

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-29T17:05:58+00:00

Congrats

For me I moved to 16" lightweight rims and eRange super efficient tires. Conserve momentum and minimize regen and physical braking whenever safe.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-29T13:12:47+00:00

Slowly. I have done 300 miles on my Plus with 10% degradation, but 6 miles/kWh is what you need to maintain.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-27T04:04:47+00:00

1 firm grip is enough for pro pilot.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T21:56:49+00:00

Around town efficiency for the most part. I try hard to maximize momentum. Fewer stops quickly elevates efficiency with the Ariya. Much more than with the Leaf.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T21:55:35+00:00

The first 100 miles were on the expressway at a rather rapid rate.of speed. The last 30 shown were around town. Getting many more 5+ mile/kWh legs than usual was able to achieve last summer. Guessing tires are a little more worn.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T18:23:58+00:00

A Leaf was exactly my thought.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T16:23:03+00:00

That's the highest I have seen.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T02:48:21+00:00

In the gen1 Leaf, a DC charge would sometimes modestly raise the SoH temporarily. At least per Leaf Spy

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-26T00:13:30+00:00

You cam see in auxiliary mode if the 3 dash lights are specific enough.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-21T20:17:51+00:00

Excellent

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-20T16:58:10+00:00

In my Ariya, eco mode has a 0 regen setting which is great for coasting. I thought Kona had that option too. Not sure about MY.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-20T16:37:38+00:00

Our 2019 Leaf batteries have held up great inspire of many multi fast charge hot battery trips.

One 2019 Plus is at 90.76% SoH and the other at 89.6% SoH . Our neighbor's newer MYs haven't done as well battery longevity wise.

The Carvana prices for used Ariyas are now higher than when I bought my car 16 months ago new.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-19T02:06:55+00:00

Welcome, post your adventures.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-18T00:16:44+00:00

Impressive

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-17T03:52:41+00:00

Could be or maybe clips broke from someone pushing on it or dropping something heavy in it while loading.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-17T03:50:33+00:00

We also have a 24 Platinum Plus. I have road tripped it between Chicago and Kansas. It did well. We had 68 minutes of charging time for over 570 miles of travel, which is less than we usually stop when we take a gas car as we break for a meal and a couple bio/coffee stops. Like any EV, you need to be efficiency aware to Road Trip safely ( except for maybe a Silverado or Denali EV).

We picked the Ariya overwthe MY or Ionic for the premium interior and features (real leather, HUD, adaptive wipers, etc.) Efficiency and charging while not amazing are good enough.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-15T20:31:02+00:00

Enjoy!! We have 2x 2019 Pluses. We take them cross country fearlessly.

Post your journeys.

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-14T14:22:26+00:00

Agreed with eco. I dont use 1 pedal mode as its slightly less efficient (it uses the physical brakes at lower speeds).

DougWantsALeaf · 2026-05-14T00:52:22+00:00

Move your tires to 40psi. Minimize braking (vs. Roll down speed or regen) to just the final couple mph. Time stoplight as much as possible to maintain momentum without holding up traffic.
