I think the Nissan missed the boat. The Leaf is already full engineered, and almost in production and I'm pretty sure the battery pack being under the floor boards in multiple locations isn't easily swappable. I also agree with the posts above about how if the battery pack was swappable, you'd...

I have a daily 60 mile commute... the Nissan Leaf is perfect for me. If you are driving farther than 100 miles then the Nissan Leaf is not for you... and what the heck are you doing where you have to drive farther than 100 miles a day? Unless your a trucker, if you're COMMUTING farther than...

Awesome! Where did you read that? And did you post it in the 'news' section??

Hi RacyT, welcome. I just registered for the Leaf forum, and rather than starting a new thread I figured I'd kill to birds with one stone...
