It may be expensive as compared to a 2020 production model but I do need that extra range.
Let me deal with the lack of infrastructure, thank you.
AWD comes standard :mrgreen:geefish said:I still think Nissan is holding something back for the reveal next week.
Something we haven't even suspected let alone guessed.
You must have some sort of wow factor at these presentations that hasn't been presented in leaks or tweets or drip feeds.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a larger battery option and it was BIGGER then 60 kw? 70 or more?
I cant see it happening though...

That would be game changing.Nubo said:Partnership with Tesla on SuperCharging standard?

LEAF 2 would need battery cooling to deal with 100+ kW Supercharging. Anyone really think that battery temperature management is coming on LEAF 2? My impression is that Nissan is going to stick tight with no temperature management in the hope that future battery chemistries would be more resistant to heat degradation. Would be interesting if they did use battery temperature management though.jlv said:That would be game changing.Nubo said:Partnership with Tesla on SuperCharging standard?

There is a good possibility of this.

Not necessarily. If something like this were to happen, it would not be free but would come at a price to the user similar to that of an EVgo customer, plus a start-up fee, etc. These kinds of cross-platform arrangements rarely gain the traction needed have a viable business model.
I'm not sure that the typical LEAF owner would find such an arrangement useful or economically attractive.
All modern cars are designed with front and rear crumple zones. Today's basic vehicle construction consists of a passenger zone, a front crumple zone which generally incorporates the engine (or electric motor) and suspension, and a rear crumple zone which generally incorporates the cargo area and rear suspension.TonyWilliams said:Rear of cars are not normally crush zones... the front is.
The concept is that a front of a car will hit the rear of another. That other car has a crush zone. But you won't be driving 80mph in reverse.
The Tesla Model S has kids in the rear. The RAV4 had an optional third row seating that went in the rear.
