I'm in the same situation. My dealer told me lease price is so high because residual is much lower now which translates into higher lease payments. Msrp isn't much different from what a 2016 SV was and what a 2019 SV is now it's all about the residual value being so low now!

Unless oliviajayden has cold winters, then you get the joy of the ICE coming on due to temperature all the time despite having a full charge. I hated that about the Volt!

I say go for a Leaf if you already have a Prius for long trips. I came from a 2011 Volt and now have a Leaf. Much happier with 100% all electric drive. The engine running on my Volt just ruined the whole electric drive experience for me. I will never go back to a PHEV for this reason. Plus as...

I live in Wayzata Minnesota. Even during polar vortex sub zero cold snaps in the middle of January I can easily make my 35 mile round trip commute. This is with heat blasting on high going 70mph on the freeway plus remote starting vehicle for 10 minutes before leaving work. Granted I have the...

You gotta watch his video to know the details. He explains everything. The software update may account for some of that 8% figure so it's probably even less than that. Plus he explains his use case is probably near worse case scenario for the battery. He DC fast charges like crazy, charges to...

Nissan still has a ways to go before the tax credit reduces to $3,750, getting the full credit on a 2019 shouldn't be a problem. The $6,000 is worth it though, will be so much better than a 2016 Leaf!

Why not get a lease extension until you can get into the 2019 60kwh Leaf e-plus? My dealer offered an extension to me since my 2016 Leaf SV lease ends February 2019. Was told the 60kwh Leaf e-plus would be available spring of 2019 here in Minnesota. The 2019 e-plus will be a tremendous upgrade...

Range and HVAC use are becoming less of a concern with the 200+ mile range BEVs. All you really have to learn how to do is plug it in when you get home and unplug it when you head off to work, not that hard really.

Sales are down for the reasons I mentioned above (uneducated public and high purchase price). Plus it doesn't help that there's not much of a selection to choose from yet (no good CUV/SUV choices). If prices were around the same for ICEVs and BEVs, all the popular vehicles were available in both...

That's only true if you're only focusing on the negative things about BEVs (ICEVs have negatives too) Here are some examples of "getting more" from a BEV which you don't get with an ICEV. 1. Lower total cost of ownership in the long run for a lot of consumers. 2. Lower operating cost per mile...

My battery has still prematurely degraded even after this update. 87% SOH on a two year old car with 28k miles is unacceptable. Lease is up in February so not really a problem for me. Had I purchased it would be a different story. By comparison a 2 year old Tesla with 28k miles would probably...

+1 I agree!

Got this update Monday. Before update was down 2 bars SOH: 75.45% AHr: 56.97 Hx: 68.83% After update all 12 bars restored SOH: 87.71% AHr: 69.71 Hx: 68.57% GOM is overestimating range by a lot more now. I don't pay attention to it anyway all I care about is SOC. I'm still getting the same...

Got this update today. Before update was down 2 bars SOH: 75.45% AHr: 56.97 Hx: 68.83% After update all 12 bars restored SOH: 87.71% AHr: 69.71 Hx: 68.57% GOM is overestimating range by a lot more now. I don't pay attention to it anyway all I care about is SOC. I'm still getting the same...

Many members here so called "babied their batteries" and still had unacceptable degradation. Not so sure it's the consumer's fault. Besides if it is the consumer then you'd be seeing unacceptable degradation reports from other PHEV/BEVs like the Volt, Bolt EV and Tesla but you don't.

Well I'm down 2 bars on my 2016 and I know for sure there's been capacity loss. I get far less range then what I got when car was new in the exact same driving conditions, same driving style and same routes driven. Had I not lost any range then what you're claiming would be true.

Ok so after the BMS settles it's still going to show the battery has more capacity than what it had before doing the update. Which translates to the consumer having to wait longer for a battery replacement. Otherwise Nissan wouldn't bother doing this update in the first place. So you go to the...

That's not a good thing will mean many won't be getting a new battery. If you're down 2 bars like the guy on FB was, they reprogram the BMS now it shows 12 bars isn't Nissan just hiding the capacity loss to avoid so many battery replacements? Sure sounds like it to me! After all when has Nissan...

I contacted the Nissan EV hotline when I lost my 1st bar. They basically blew me off saying what I'm experiencing is completely normal, nothing to worry about. If I'm concerned I'm more than welcome to bring the car to my local dealer and have them check the battery. I obviously didn't bother as...

I'm in Wayzata, MN and my 2016 30kwh Leaf lost it's 2nd bar a couple weeks ago. October 2017 first bar lost: Mfg date: 12/15 Mileage: 19,648 SOH: 80% AHr: 64.20 Hx: 75.86% SOC: 97.4 GIDS: 293 22.7 kWh May 2018 2nd bar lost: Mileage: 26,681 SOH: 75.45% AHr: 59.97 Hx: 68.83% SOC: 82.8% GIDS...
