http://www.greencarcongress.com/2017/09/20170906-leaf.htmlNissan unveils new LEAF; 150-mile range; high-power variant with larger battery in 2019
...The individual cell structure of the laminated lithium-ion battery cells was improved—a 67% increase in energy density versus the 2010 model. Another key engineering improvement for the lithium-ion battery pack is enhanced electrode materials with revised chemistry, resulting in higher power density while contributing to greater battery durability on charge and discharge...
Yeah, he did, IIRC. He's a bit more rabid than I am towards Nissan, but my disdain started with my Versa which had a failing transmission that they tried so hard to deny was the issue until it finally failed at 45,000 miles (after manifesting problems at 20,000 miles.) Our warranty replacement is starting to have the same issues at the 65,000 mark that our first transmission started having at 20,000 miles. (Oh look, 20,000 miles after being replaced!)internalaudit said:Did Sage Bush even own a Leaf before? Sounds like he hates the Leaf so much yet finds time to peruse the forum and attack anything Nissan.

Nissan also had no plans to offer a battery warranty degradation warranty ... until they were sued.Dooglas said:Nissan has indicated they have no plans to make the necessary electronic upgrades available. No use ranting about it - it was never in the cards.

As for the self-interest angle, if consumers decide not to buy a Nissan *at all* if they cannot buy a battery upgradable EV, the message will get through.
