I’m betting Nissan was not expecting that announcement . To late to change the price of the e plus it’s baked already . They are headed to dealer lots now

Bumping up to 7.4kw or higher , 7.7? 9.6kw would be almost a must on a 60kwh battery 6.6 would be way to slow

I think a lot of buyers would be happy with the New leaf if it resembles the rendering. Conversions from tesla model 3 type happy. Must have good 0-60 though. Gotta say I'm looking forward to some real scoot in my next EV. Had a leaf then an i3 and it was fun . Next one has to have range and...

Yeah they added the a/c cooling system into the e-nv200 pack and it was supposed to cool during dcfc Not sure if that system activates any other time. Cooling during dcfc would certainly allow a long range leaf 150 / 220 miles to dcfc repeatedly during a road trip without overheating the...

As a former Leaf owner ( 2012 for 3.5 years and 51,000 miles ) and having had an i3 for 24 months as well. Expectations styling , sharper , sportier less pudgy looking exterior. Gen 1 leaf interior was pretty good especially the cluster and info given , but again I would like more seat...

You gotta figure the test car we saw is what we will be revealed this fall. A practical configuration, more sporty design, newer tech and yes longer range but it doesn't look like a 60kwh platform. Of course it's surprising to see the Bolt carry 60kwh so it's possible. I think we get most of...

Some type of an SUV or compact SUV would be a winner in the USA. No one seems to want sedans anymore.

Gotta figure that the 60kwh Nissan battery will have to have some sort of cooling . I would think a system like the ENV-200 uses could work if engineered properly. Might be less expensive than some of the other mfr solutions then just heating elements that are more active than the current Leaf...

ARE you suggesting that Nissan may put the new 60kwh pack into the current Leaf and sell it for 2017. as another step before the 2.0 Leaf comes out? then you would have comparison between the 60kwh Leaf SL and the Bolt. if nothing else was changed on the Leaf except the battery i would get...

I cant imagine Nissan carrying the current Leaf into the 2017 model year even with the 30kwh battery. but they could try it, I think it would get slaughtered by the Bolt.

Tesla did an amazing job keeping the model 3 details hidden. Maybe Nissan has learned something from them. I'm hoping they have a higher performance sportier Leaf 2 in the works. 60kwh is a given. Style and performance is not guaranteed. I'm guessing late this year we might see some leaks or a...

I plan on an online deposit on the 31st. I'm on the east coast and maybe wont order the top of the line car so I figure 3 plus years maybe til I get a 3. Lots of choices between now and that time , my BMW i3 lease ends in December ( I had a Leaf prev for 3 years ) . Bolt, Outlander PHEV...

seems the nationwide dealer inventory has been around 2,000 for 2 months now. almost like Nissan is feeding just enough to the dealers to keep them at that level and no more / no less we should start to see a sell down on the inventory of 2015's very soon

They could easily integrate active tms into the existing pack design. The i3 uses a series of thin flat aluminum tubes for freon cooling. And a heating element all in th bottom of the pack. It may use some extra energy , but it doesn't make the pack any larger really and uses the existing ac...

After seeing the IDS I am super psyched again for Nissan ! hoping that I can drive a Nissan EV gain one day. My I3 is fun but has some things that just are not done right. Its very clear after 1 year in the I3 (and 3 in a Leaf) that Nissan has a way better design and process from the engineers.

The info shows time to charge for a 100km range . I think the new cell chemistry has reduced internal resistance which reduces charge time. so its not a full charge they are referring to but a partial charge

Cars.com shows 2100 2015's on the ground . Auto trader shows 600 Not sure why the difference , I'm thinking the 2100 is correct , and it's not dropping much each day...... So January seems about right

Many of us in the Va , dc area have clean fuel plates that allow us to drive our Leaf, volt or other EV hybrid in the HOV lanes . VDOT is currently planning to repeal those plates and the right to drive alone in these lanes by 2017 and CHARGE A TOLL! A grass roots campaign has been started to...

3.5 years and 50,000 miles in My 2012 Leaf ended Dec 2014 (turned it in) 2 bars down , but it was still a great car Leased a 2014 BMW i3 rex , 3,000 miles and happy so far Nissan needs to address several styling , engineering and design issues on the next gen Leaf to earn back my business. I...

if there isn't too much oncoming traffic using the halogen high beams adds some heat to the headlamp capsules/lenses and can melt ice.
