everything is conjecture at this point but I blogged about using the new 30 kwh packs in existing LEAFs since it likely only needs SW tweaks to work. They are reputed to have same size, weight and footprint so minimal mechanical retrofits needed and I also think it counterproductive for Nissan to continue with 24 kwh packs for warranty purposes so I am predicting 30 kwh packs will be substituted when the price is right which I expect to be fairly soon.
Now all this assumes the 24 kwh pack is going away soon which I believe to be true. Because batteries have to be produced in batches, I believe that Nissan will stop making the modules that make the 24 kwh packs soon if they have not already done so and when what is in the pipeline is exhausted, they will switch to the 30 kwh modules
