In some ways, I am glad that they did not increase the battery size. I have been very comfortable with my 80 mile range "short range" 24KWH Leaf for the past 4 years and expect to get at least another 4 good years before noticeable range issues... I would have loved to get the 2018 as my first EV, with the 130 mile range it has. That would be more than I will ever need on a daily basis. I personally feel that a 60 KWH car is overkill, and frankly a size that is a bit greedy.
Although the Bolt, with its 200 mile range is currently selling, I cant imagine more than 2-5% of the Bolt drivers using that range daily... I can wait for a 250 mile range Leaf for a few years.
