Exactly, my situation is quite particular for the country, and i completely understand that the deal may sound crazy but trust me the numbers check, even if i have to buy a new battery in 10 months. I will show here the leafspy data when i get the dongle shipped.

Thats right, it's a 27.5% of taxes for EVs and 55% for any ICE vehicle, a total rip-off. Thanks again for the tip, it's really useful info you guys have given me. I can practically charge to teach people over here about leafs :lol:

Thanks for the tip, already ordered the OBD2 yesterday from amazon, just waiting for it to get here. Anyways Im looking to get one borrowed for a day to go check it out, in case the dealer starts to put some pressure on the deal.

Ok thanks, going with those numbers we are talking about a 60% capacity loss in 7 years, that's 8.5% a year, worst case scenario it will be double that number, say 17% by next year leaving the car with 23% left, aprox. 3 bars. I think i can squeeze a few thousand miles in that timespan if a...

Thanks for the tip on the lizard battery, pardon my ignorance but is the '15 battery pack compatible with the '13 leaf? And yes i do live in Santo Domingo, what can I expect of this or some other battery over here? 10% capacity loss per year? Indeed there are a lot of leafs over here, but i...

I live in the Dominican Republic, nissan does not import leaf's in this country. (warranty is out of the question) all the leaf's in the country are imported by independent dealers or by anyone. That is not at all rare in this country, same happens with all the rest of other brands. Over here...

You are right that is the question, how many miles can this old pack last for me?, I asked for the DoD cycles cause ive been told that the more discharged the battery on a cycle the less the battery last. That way I can estimate that this pack will last X miles for me until the battery change...

That is another doubt I have, one workshop here told me that I could not replace some of the cells, because they all degradate evenly, so if I were to replace the cells I needed to change all of the 192 of them. Is this true or is just a possibility more than a stone-written fact?

Well I live in the DR, it is kind of hot, 70F minimum average but in the summer it can get to 90's. My commute varies from 20 to 28 miles roundtrip, but since I can charge wherever I go it will be rare if I run more than 13 miles without a place to charge it. But half of that trip is traffic...

Hi, first post here, I wanted to know if someone had any data or graph of the DOD cycles until end of life of battery but with different % of Degradation. I only find online data for DOD cycles of a brand new battery. Im asking this because Im getting a 2013 S in a deal (not living in the US)...
