thx

That's a very good point. Can you explain - Why won't the new 62kWH battery age better than my original ?

Thanks everyone for the info I decided that I’m going to go for the used Chevy bolt

I currently own a Gen 1 '13 Leaf (approx 65k miles), where the battery only gives me 40-50 miles per charge. Which isn't enough for my commute. I'm considering - a Greentec battery replacement/upgrade to 62kWh or sell my Leaf and buy a used '18 Chevy Bolt which also has a 62kWh battery...

My current display has BT only for phone calls, but not audio. Is there a fully BT model that I can plug/play swap my current one. without need of any new harness and wiring. i.e can I simply buy the new full BT radio, unscrew mine , and plug in and screw in the new one? To compound the...

Cost - For the +24 mi Total Cost (with the Delta Max)2khz + 2 batteries and cables, etc) is approx. $3,250 (bought refurbs) (would be less with 1 or 2 batteries) Concerns I fit them all in my trunk, However, the problem is that they are heavy - not too heavy - I'm can carry 2 at a time, but...

thanks, that's very helpful.

approx. how much did it cost total to replace the battery entirely - incl. labor? Also - since the car is 11-12 years old, if I replace the battery with a new one. What other costly car issues does this (EV) car normally have (i.e. OK with up keep and minor repairs, but don't want to have a...

great, thanks!

Update - I tried it with 1 Delta Max 2kh + 2 add'l batteries (2kh ea.) + a $20 grounding adapter from Amazon) and it added 24 miles! I think though that I'll switch to the Pro model b/c it allows charging from a EV charger. So when home, I can plug my EV charger into the battery , and connect...

Can they put a newer battery in the 1st Gen (Jan 2011) Leaf? Approx. how much would it cost? If not can it be repaired (to fix range down to 45 mi)? I heard of a mechanic that claims that he can do both, I don't have any references Is this possible? Also - since the car is 11-12 years old...

Q - They have a feature on the Pro models - where you can combine 2 Pros together and output 220v. (https://us.ecoflow.com/products/double-voltage-hub-ecoflow-delta-pro) Thus presumably would cut charging time in half. Is there a relatively easy way to connect the leaf to this?

Thanks Nice article Though for me personally If the permanent solution is a LOT more. I’ll go with the temporary solution and it’s worth it if it gives another 3 years How many miles would 2 delta pros add to my battery if I charge for 6 hours?

re: Rube Goldberg I was told that since I have the original (before Jan ) model Nissan Leaf, that I can't upgrade my battery. Is that true? Can I simply upgrade the battery? How much would that cost ? Or woudl it require a full battery replacement - and how much would that cost? Can you send...

How would the "math" (i.e. miles added) if I went with 2 Delta linked Pros (same 6 kWh) (instead of 3 linked Delta Max) Please see their specs (at bottom of the page each Delta Max 2000 - 2016Wh - 6 outlets, 2400W total (Surge 5000W) each Delta Pro - 3600Wh - 5 outlets, 3600W total (Surge...
