This is the place to tell jokes that have nothing to do with the Leaf. :lol:
It will be great if you will include source of the info that you provided otherwise, it is speculation.wantonsoup said:I'm starting this thread so we can keep information on the updated 2013 Leaf together. Here's what we know so far:
Smyrna, TN plant should be online before the end of the year. New colors, optional leather seats, a darker new interior and a more efficient heating system that could garner 25 more miles of range in cold weather. And of course the 6.6kWh charger. What will be standard, what will be optional, what the prices will be, etc., are all unknown.
If you hear anything concrete (no speculation please), this is the place to post it.

Depends on your definition of "announced" I guess. From the link:TomT said:Actually, NOTHING has been announced to date. It's ALL speculation at this point.
Speaking to The Detroit News yesterday, Mark Perry, director of product and advanced planning for Nissan Americas confirmed that the 2013 Leaf will get an improved heating system and an upgraded interior fitted as standard.

- range
- price
- battery quality
If you don't fix these three parameters, the other stuff don't matter.
Upgrades for 2013 Leaf models
"We have things planned for the [updated] 2013 model that will help it in the marketplace," Castignetti said--which likely include a better heater, available leather seats, and an optional 6.6-kilowatt charger.
I'm interested! Do you have a link? (Sorry if I misunderstood and you were just being facetious, it sounded like you really meant it!)Herm said:I think the new Nissan NMC chemistry will boost the range about 30%,...
Thanks! Here's one link: Report: Nissan On Track with Nickel Manganese Cobalt Li-ion Cell for Deployment in 2015Herm said:Re: NMC.. I dont have a link but going from memory, some people have said it would double the range but that is not so. Nissan could also reduce the size of the battery 30% and lower the cost.
Interesting, but it is an "old" link (3 years ago).RegGuheert said:Interesting!
Tell me about it :mrgreen:grommet said:What was the point of starting this thread again? :?: :lol:
