    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    There was some efficiency hit in the cooling cycle between heat pump and AC only. So for the regions that have a strong preference for AC cooling, it's better to have an AC only option for all trim levels.

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    lets fix it The results are in, no one gives a hoot about a 200+ mile $20,000 hatchEV selling for $35,000 but 400,000 pay deposit on a 200+mile for a $42k premium sedan EV selling for $35,000 Nissan gotta go for the whitespace, can't compete with Tesla on desirability, but can compete with GM...

    Predicting Range & Value of LEAF Gen 2

    I'm predicting 2 physical packs with a different profile, 1st, current pack profile 2nd, larger pack profile although the area (footprint) of the packs are the same, the heights are different, the metal floorpan in the car is different (and incompatible) between the 2 packs. This is the key...

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    I feel 2 1/2 major aspects have changed for Toyota's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle vision. China requiring plug in vehicle for 2018. VW settlement in California going to plug in vehicles for initial 30 months California Hydrogen stations are more expansive and cost a lot more to keep open than...

    'LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)' very little but plenty of rumor

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    Hydrogen missed out on OPM, that is the end of hydrogen. Honda has a fallback plan on real PHEV, joke BEV and Tesla ZEVs Hyundai is OK Toyota, its hitting the fan

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    I'll have to look it up, but when the PHEV was suitably fresh, but with all wrinkles ironed out it was ready to bring to the states. CARB changed the rules concerning how their computers could access battery status. Seems like a small deal, and should only be a 6 month delay for a healthy car...

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    realistically, looking at Euro sales, CARB is almost irrelevant. 2 of the 3 best selling cars have nothing at all to do with CARB. One was actually stopped by CARB from coming to America. (Outlander PHEV) CARB went just that little bit too far, if they hadn't of made that little hassle, PHEV...

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    a used 60kwh is very problematic for any 40kWh vehicle, but that is a 2020 issue. its chicken and egg, but for Nissan to get 60kWh packs cheaply, they simply will need to initially get 60kWh packs expensively. An overlap of both being available, but much better value being for the cheaper...
