Hi. Thnx to all for answering my QC Port/6.6kw questions in my other post.
I'm getting the 2015 S today and live in Arizona. I'm well aware of the past lawsuit against Nissan, history of battery degradation from heat, etc.
Do i have to worry more about heat and the battery degrading faster with a 2015 than the old 2011 Leaf?
I still SMH after reading the past battery problems to why Nissan hadn't changed to thermal protection (like my Volt had) on its batteries (ya money I get that, but it's a no brainer to protect the most important part of an EV)
I suppose that's another post
Back to this post.
For protection of the battery from heat I know to:
Not QC frequently in one day or at all
Park in shade/carport especially here in Arizona
Don't charge if it is 80% full
Any other tips, comments on this would be appreciated.
Thank you all. Gary
