So range anxiety was easily overcome, but seeing posts about possible reduced range I am starting to think we might have new kind of anxiety that would only increase over time... How do you deal with it?

Should be solved by having enough charging stations around by the time the degradation starts causing any real effect on your range capability.IBELEAF said:How do you deal with it?

Boy do I agree with that--my energies are elsewhere. "No worry, so no worry".smkettner said:No fear, no anxiety here. There are bigger things in life to worry about than a car battery.
IBELEAF said:Also, their refusal to warranty the battery capacity tells us something.
The problem with this way of looking at things: Nissan either doesn't know (or isn't saying) exactly how much on average the "normal" gradual loss will be. Sure, they have said things like "80% capacity remaining at 5 years" but this is not covered in the warranty. If it turns out to be 6% per year, or 8% per year, that is still fairly "gradual", and thus presumably won't be covered by the warranty.LEAFfan said:But Nissan DID give us a battery capacity warranty. Loss of capacity is covered EXCEPT for gradual capacity loss, which is NORMAL. So if your battery pack loses more capacity than what is normal, it will be covered. I really don't see a problem with the warranty and why people can't read what is in writing.
