Do with of you have any updates on your battery stats? DaveinOlyWA, did your battery "adjust" as predicted? umdkevin, do you have an updated graph of battery stats? If things continued to progress as they did then I'd expect you to be right at about 96% now. Thank you both for continuing to...

So someone at my dealer said they were told to expect a bigger battery, which was odd to them since the Plus was only recently available. Maybe after 2 years of the 40kWh being available they are going to move the 62kWh to the regular, non-Plus and then the Plus will get a newer/bigger battery...

Boulder Nissan is the #3 dealer in the country when it comes to LEAF sales, so if others are seeing this I'm sure they've seen it too. Nigel Zeid in their sales department is a huge proponent and is a nice guy to boot. Relatedly, I had a recent experience there doing the battery plate recall...

Thank you for the detailed report! Can I ask where you are located? Do you see significantly high average temps?

We also had a creaking or popping noise coming from the front suspension of our 2015 SV. It turns out that there was a TSB to address this by lubricating some parts (been a while, so I forget exactly what was done sorry) and we had it fixed under warranty. Unfortunately the initial fix didn't...

Oh nice. Can I ask what you are seeing at the first two months?

Hi all, Is anyone logging their Plus's 62kWh battery health data regularly? I know some saw non-trivial degredation on their 40kWh battery the first year and so I think it would be informative to have some preliminary health info about the 62kWh battery going into summer, even before it gets...

Thanks for that information, actual data is always helpful; it would be great if we could get the same info for the new Plus. As far as what I was referencing, I was specifically talking about 60kWh battery that Nissan showcased back in 2016. There was discussion around that time from...

Thanks, that's about what I was wondering - how much capacity you have lost so far (or what your current capacity is). I'm curious what your 1 year reading will be.

I've read references to an upcoming purpose built EV platform in a few places, and I think you are the source of this info. Do you have any more info here? Am I correct in understanding that this would be a 2021 MY?

If I may ask, do you have a bounds on your 40kWh battery degradation?

Not necessarily. It all depends on R (the internal resistance of the battery), and from all information available when the 60kWh pack was first showcased the internal resistance has been improved considerably. Some proof of this may be in the fact that the maximum QC charge rate has been...

My local dealer only has SV and SL PLUS's in stock and their MPGe is 104, whereas the 40kWh SL shows as 112 MPGe as you mentioned as well. Also of note, my dealer now shows "Limited availability" on the 40kWh models now that the PLUS is out.

I found what appears to be an unoptioned SV; the sticker says "up to 215" depending on trim, options, and driving style... So maybe more (heavier) options further reduce range? EDIT: Nope, it has the "all weather" package.

There are now some window stickers showing online and can confirm that the SV does indeed show 215 miles on the sticker.

It's looking more and more likely that we'll see the e-plus at CES: https://www.carscoops.com/2018/12/nissan-confirms-new-model-ces-likely-long-range-leaf/amp/

Interesting. This, combined with the Japanese market configurator changes certainly seems to suggest that the 2019 may be here soon. On a related note, I took my LEAF in for the annual battery check last week and asked if they had any news of the 2019's arrival. They were thinking September...

Sorry, removed.

A month or two before the first 2016 model arrived (and when news about it was similarly scarce), you could buy a new 2015 SV with LED + Charge package (so LED headlights, QC port, hybrid heater) for $25k (before any tax credits). Oh, and financed at 0% for up to 6 years as I recall. They...

Exactly my thoughts too after reading some more recent articles. Speaking of which, some autonomous driving is confirmed for LEAF 2.0: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/ces-2017-nissan-autonomous/
