Hi Team,
Now that Nissan has announced a capacity loss warranty below nine bars for a period of 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, we are now in our 27 month of ownership (Leaf 2011) and just lost our first bar at 24,500 miles, is there a way to intentionally speed up the battery capacity loss to less than 9 bars without voiding the warranty, so we can get the battery replaced under the 60 months or 60,000 miles warranty, I understand that Nissan is only obligated to replace to 9 bars, but who knows if Nissan will just give a new pack with 12 bars, pls advice?
We charge at night during the PG&E E9B rates, so electricity at the moment is 6 cents per kilo watt and around $20 per month, this will change in the near future to 11 cents at estimated $30 monthly cost.
we always charge to 100%
we always leave the car in the sun
we drive the little Leaf hard.
we drive either with AC or Heat.
we stop doing quick charges at $5 per charge.
Thanks
