Hi,
Wondering if anyone has thought of the idea of installing a 64kwh niro pack into a nissan leaf (or in my case an e-NV200.)
Reason, 62kwh not available, and even the 40kwh leaf packs are very expensive here in the UK.
A 64kwh niro pack from a 2021 onwards (so not involved in the battery recall issues) can be bought much cheaper, maybe £4k.
Mechanically they look roughly the same size, and i`m sure mounting it with modified adaptor plates could be acheived if the battery fits in the space underneath.
Cabling shouldnt be an issue with some creative thinking, the same for the cooling, mounting a rad, circulating pump and pipework is no worry.
the issue would be capturing the canbus data from the leaf pack, using a can bridge, and sending the "correct" data to the leaf main ECU to get it to turn on and run.
Whats your thoughts people?
Thanks,
Anthony.
