Hi Guys,
I was looking around and saw that there is a Nissan Leaf Limo. I think it is pretty cool! I really wish I could have one and in fact it seems that you can get someone to make one for you. I just wonder, which would be the best candidate for a Limo Stretch? People mentioned that it MUST have Quick Charger Port and that it should at least charge at 6.0KW with the lv 2 charger. I will also guess that it should be at least a model SV so it can have nice things like the GPS and other stuff (That I don't know about since I have an S ).
Also someone said it should be at least a 2013 because it would be easier to stretch because that big capacitor box on top of the battery pack got moved to the front. Is this true?
There was also one article talking about the company that made it was looking into adding an additional battery pack (Making it a total of 2) for range recover; since it loses some due to the extra weight from the stretch.
So:
2013
Quick Charge Port
At least SV Trim
At least 6.0KWh Charge
Any other suggestions?
Regarding license it seems that in california you only need a special license if it can sit more than 10 people:

So a regular license is okay.
Next issue would be insurance which I don't know how much it would cost and then the warranty would likely be voided on the car. Would it be completely voided?
Oh and no I don't want to start my own limo business. The limo leaf would be my daily driver .
Oh in terms of length the leaf is 175" long while the stretch, from what i herd, is 48 inches more. That makes it something like 223" long. This is as long as my Chevrolet Express Van 04 and I can park that thing almost anywhere. Parking for a charge should not be a problem then since the parking spots are big enough for it.
