Is there any way of determining if a leaf has a 30KW or 24KW battery by the VIN or GVWR?
Curious as I am looking at auctions with very little info.

I wish I knew, all the 2016 s leafs list with a 30wthr battery but when you call they end up 24kwhrchaz said:Is there any way of determining if a leaf has a 30KW or 24KW battery by the VIN or GVWR?

'16 Leaf S was only 24 kWh for most of the span of the model year. Near the end, they quietly introduced the "S 30": http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1106593_nissan-leaf-s-quietly-gets-30-kwh-battery-upgrade-higher-pricermay635703 said:I wish I knew, all the 2016 s leafs list with a 30wthr battery but when you call they end up 24kwhrchaz said:Is there any way of determining if a leaf has a 30KW or 24KW battery by the VIN or GVWR?

^^^ sounds exactly like what the OP was looking forBillHolz said:For North American VIN's the 4th character is an A for 24KWH packs and a B for 30KWH packs.

Why is the VIN so important for a 40 kWh car?Oilpan4 said:How about a car with a 40kwh battery?
Maybe a "C" for the 4th space on the vin?
The next year or so I may be hunting for an upgrade.
FWIW, the (62 kWh) e+ Leaf on the show floor at CES had B for the 4th character from the left.TexasLeaf said:Oilpan4 said:How about a car with a 40kwh battery?
The VIN on my 2018 has an A as the fourth character.
They might. Nissan's had released a 2004 350Z (I had one of these) and later a 2004.5.Oilpan4 said:I may end up buying the battery with out the rest of the car attached to it.
Also need to avoid the 62kwh car and/or battery.
...
So far as long as it's a 2018 or 2019 I'm good.
Unless they come out with a special 2019.5 e+, which I don't think is going to happen in the US but no one seems to know for sure.
For future reference for any who might have doubts, page 19 of https://testing-public.carmd.com/Tsb/Download/126060/NTB14-059c (TSB NTB14-059c) confirms the A or B in the 4th character as being a means to tell if a '16 S is 24 or 30 kWh. It also has various HV battery part numbers covering '11 to '17 US Leafs.BillHolz said:For North American VIN's the 4th character is an A for 24KWH packs and a B for 30KWH packs.
https://www.nissanusa.com/content/d...f/2022/2022-nissan-leaf-dismantling-guide.pdf page DG-8 says how to tell 40 (non-Plus) vs. 62 kWh (Plus):FWIW, the (62 kWh) e+ Leaf on the show floor at CES had B for the 4th character from the left.
They might. Nissan's had released a 2004 350Z (I had one of these) and later a 2004.5.
