Just ONE cell-pair, not charged as much as the 95 other pairs, can bring about a "sudden" (unexpected) lack of power at the low end of the SOC range.
Unless you find a way to watch the voltage of the lowest cell-pair (instead of the Pack's voltage), "surprise" endings will remain un-anticipated. Thus, to avoid towing, Nissan apparently wants to encourage you to STAY AWAY from the UNCERTAIN "reserves" at the low end.
CAUTION: Since (I believe) the low-end SOC readings CAN easily BE misleading, there is NOT a dependable reserve, always available to use.
What we need is an SOC properly based on the lowest cell-pair.
Even with "apparent" remaining-SOC being reported, the car CAN "unexpextedly" slow and quit moving, leaving us (just sometimes) with VERY LITTLE dependable RANGE after the Low Battery Warning.
The question is, "Do you feel Lucky today?" ...
