I currently own a Gen 1 '13 Leaf (approx 65k miles), where the battery only gives me 40-50 miles per charge. Which isn't enough for my commute.
I'm considering - a Greentec battery replacement/upgrade to 62kWh
or sell my Leaf and buy a used '18 Chevy Bolt which also has a 62kWh battery...
My current display has BT only for phone calls, but not audio. Is there a fully BT model that I can plug/play swap my current one. without need of any new harness and wiring. i.e can I simply buy the new full BT radio, unscrew mine , and plug in and screw in the new one?
To compound the...
Cost - For the +24 mi Total Cost (with the Delta Max)2khz + 2 batteries and cables, etc) is approx. $3,250 (bought refurbs) (would be less with 1 or 2 batteries)
Concerns
I fit them all in my trunk, However, the problem is that they are heavy - not too heavy - I'm can carry 2 at a time, but...
approx. how much did it cost total to replace the battery entirely - incl. labor?
Also - since the car is 11-12 years old, if I replace the battery with a new one. What other costly car issues does this (EV) car normally have (i.e. OK with up keep and minor repairs, but don't want to have a...
Update - I tried it with 1 Delta Max 2kh + 2 add'l batteries (2kh ea.) + a $20 grounding adapter from Amazon) and it added 24 miles!
I think though that I'll switch to the Pro model b/c it allows charging from a EV charger. So when home, I can plug my EV charger into the battery , and connect...
Can they put a newer battery in the 1st Gen (Jan 2011) Leaf?
Approx. how much would it cost?
If not can it be repaired (to fix range down to 45 mi)?
I heard of a mechanic that claims that he can do both, I don't have any references
Is this possible?
Also - since the car is 11-12 years old...
Q - They have a feature on the Pro models - where you can combine 2 Pros together and output 220v. (https://us.ecoflow.com/products/double-voltage-hub-ecoflow-delta-pro)
Thus presumably would cut charging time in half.
Is there a relatively easy way to connect the leaf to this?
Thanks Nice article
Though for me personally If the permanent solution is a LOT more. I’ll go with the temporary solution and it’s worth it if it gives another 3 years
How many miles would 2 delta pros add to my battery if I charge for 6 hours?
re: Rube Goldberg
I was told that since I have the original (before Jan ) model Nissan Leaf, that I can't upgrade my battery.
Is that true? Can I simply upgrade the battery? How much would that cost ? Or woudl it require a full battery replacement - and how much would that cost?
Can you send...
How would the "math" (i.e. miles added) if I went with 2 Delta linked Pros (same 6 kWh) (instead of 3 linked Delta Max)
Please see their specs (at bottom of the page
each Delta Max 2000 - 2016Wh - 6 outlets, 2400W total (Surge 5000W)
each Delta Pro - 3600Wh - 5 outlets, 3600W total (Surge...
