Lemon law was mentioned already, how about class action suit?.. just wanted to be the first to mention it
I'm sure that Nissan keeps track of the capacity at the yearly battery test, so they know the real numbers.
It is a $13k battery pack, what could Nissan do about it?
1. add a 3/36k capacity warranty to 70%?
2. change/adjust battery chemistry?.. either LiFePO4 or lithium titanate will be much heavier
3. retrofit an active cooling system?.. it may not solve the aging issue and it will definitely lower the range
4. software change to discharge the battery to 80% if longer than 2 hours at 100%?
An active cooling system could be as simple as an AC cooled cold plate against the battery case and a bit of insulation...
