2020 Nissan Kicks

[ice15]

i wouldn't buy cars,
if i knew i could be serviced by a taxi on a reliable basis.
it's no easy thing, maintaining a motor vehicle.

furrinstance,
yung garahe na lang,
it can be my man-cave.

maintenance + insurance is a pain...

right now, we only have 2 Vespas and 1 City (kulang pa kami ng 1 car since my wife is so happy using her Vespa everyday)

City PMS is around 12K every 6 months, 20K every 2 years. 13K insurance
Vespa PMS (per unit) is 3.2K every 5 months, 8K/year insurance

wala pang costs for annual inspection and registration.

It seems Ironic that a Car brand well known for its Very cold A/C would have A/C problems in its new and popular model.

I find it weird that Nissan is having this issue on a car that's been around since 2016.

Yes, the Brazilian and Mexican versions might be different, but A/C systems are all the same! just use the same components on the ASEAN version!

i am wondering,
what is the underlying problem?
auto aircon technology is de cajon naman...
why is nissan (here and abroad) apparently uniquely plagued with it?

baka may kinalaman sa e-power system

in a regular car the aircon compressor is driven by the engine pulley and electricity comes from the battery charged by the alternator

sa nissan kicks e-power the engine's purpose is to charge the lithium battery which powers the car

wonder how its compressor is driven and it's very likely the compressor gets electricity from the lithium battery

nissan had to perform new tricks to make it work

hindi na ito traditional nissan aircon na maganda reputation

[boybi]

Iba compressor ng EVs vs traditional cars. May sariling electric motor ang mga compressors ng EVs, vs engine driven sa traditional cars.

^^^

kaya siguro hindi na-maintain ng nissan ang bulletproof reputation niya sa aircon pag dating sa e-power

di na traditional aircon tech

They just use DC motor for the aircon but for automotive ... same as inverter aircon motors used in homes ...

nissan kicks aircon problem could be the compressor / electricity from the lithium battery
