I wish I could do that. I live in Hawaii and am unaware of any shops that will be able to do the conversion. I am surprised a dealership can quote reapirs for a part that is no longer made. Is this their way of handing it back to Nissan for arbitration buyback that I've been reading about?

I purchased the CNA service contract for my 2015 Nissan Leaf SL. It had a battery degradation warranty of 70%. The claim was approved by CNA but only up to the purchase price of the vehicle which was $11,076. I'm fine with that. My dealership says they will be replacing it with a 24 kWh pack for...

Easy answer. Yes, the coverage began on the original in service date and at zero miles. The extended warranty time is actually a 10yr/120k term. With 5 years already being used since it was in service, I only have until 2024 or 120k miles, whichever comes first.

Thanks for that very insightful reply. It appears based on LeafSpy data, a 2015 Leaf in HI will lose about a bar every two years. Which makes pretty good sense since HI is not as hot as Phoenix. With the SOH at 79.69%,, I'm halfway to losing that 10th bar. So, I should be on track to get down to...

That's really unfortunate. The Leaf is perhaps the most popular EV in HI. You see far more of them here than any other EV. Sad it's not built for our climate though.

I finally ran LeafSpy on this Leaf and here's what I found. With these numbers, I feel pretty good about getting my battery replaced before the extended warranty expires in 2024. Now here's where I'm getting greedy. It's even possible that I could have it replaced twice within the warranty...

Anything I can do to help any fellow Leaf owners I'm all in. Maybe this can be "stickied" so that future used Leaf buyers can benefit from this as well. Quite possibly, they might be offering the same type of extended warranty for new Leafs. The trick is to ensure they are purchasing the one...

Here all the important pages from the contract leaf https://imgur.com/gallery/quccNjU

I bought it directly from the Nissan dealership when I bought the CPO. The dealership's name is on the contract and if I ever need servicing this is the dealer I would return to. I was really surprised to hear about this battery coverage too and I made the finance manager show me exactly where...

I live on Oahu, Hawaii. The Carfax report showed it never left the island. Temps here range from mid 80s to low 90s in the summer months. This nissan certified+plus preferred covers battery runs through 8/2024, so five years left to take off 2 more bars to have the battery replaced. Are the odds...

2015 Nissan Leaf SL CPO

Here's a link to the contract language about the battery warranty. https://imgur.com/VnqKAvA

Just purchased the above CPO vehicle and when they offered me the nissan certified+plus preferred warranty it actually included battery degradation at less that 70% capacity. I was surprised this was included. This leaf has 44k miles and only 10 bars left. What are my chances of hitting that...

I have 19 PV panels so some of the cost will be offset. The cost of fueling isn't that much of a deal breaker. My concern is with a 50K Leaf and just 10 bars, how long will it be before my wife can't make here daily 30 mi journey in Honolulu traffic? Is it worth anywhere near that $12,997 asking...

Thinking of picking up the above vehicle for my wife. The biggest worry I have about the vehicle is it has 50K miles and only 10 bars left. How long will I have left with this battery and what kind of "real world" range can I expect on it now. I live on Oahu, Hawaii and our climate is pretty...
