That's pretty much how I look at it.

Overnight, someone jacks up my car and steals the traction battery. What would my insurance company do? The replacement part cannot be bought, so will it be totaled? Would a battery from a wreck be used or does the car become an expensive lawn decoration?
Any other possibilities?
oh let me guess, "Electro" is stealing battery packs to gear up for his assault against Spiderman right?

I want to ad my 2 cents. I would like to see the data from this feedback.
If the theory that Ghosn pushed the production of the LEAF forward against the input of the technical people is correct, I really don't understand why they have ever said much about anything to anyone at any time.DaveinOlyWA said:... what info we were told about was argued vigorously and no doubt there are some that thought what little we were told was a mistake.

http://insideevs.com/insideevs-exclusive-interview-with-general-motors-ev1-marketing-director-john-dabels-part-2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;John Dabels: Yes. When you buy a car and take title, that triggers an obligation by the manufacturer to provide service parts. I am paraphrasing the law, but if you buy a car at any authorized dealership in the US, the manufacturer must provide service and parts for 10 years. So, you buy an EV1 in California and you move to Bangor, Maine. GM has to provide service. Leasing takes care of that problem.
DaveinOlyWA said:ok, FINALLY got the survey (was buried in the "unimportant" mail)
my answer 8. i selected the cost. at $720 for two years, more than most extended service contracts but this gives you real value should you need it.Assume it were possible to extend capacity loss coverage through an extended service contract.
The extended service contract would give you an additional 2 years coverage over current (total period of 7 years) at a cost of $30 a month to be paid during years 6 and 7 and cover you if capacity loss dropped below 8 bars of capacity (out of 12) and or 60%.
In this case, how interested would you be in extending your capacity loss coverage?
previously before I got my LEAF, i said 50 miles but that was before i found out how much more i would want to drive it (not a EV newbie but still caught me a bit off guard) so changed to 60Based on your previous responses you typically charge your Nissan LEAF to 100% and acquire approximately 74 miles range.
What is the minimum driving range that you require to meet your daily driving needs?
Example: If you require the Nissan LEAF provide 40 miles range minimum to meet your daily driving needs, please slide the bar to 40.
7/10 tough question and wish there were comment options here. I would only rent if I could be guaranteed 80%. 70% is too low for my current situation. i would consider 25% but no lowerYou mentioned previously that when the battery capacity is no longer covered by warranty and if you experienced capacity loss leaving you with 60 miles that you would be interested in replacing the Lithium Ion battery with a new 24kWh battery giving you approximately the same range that your Nissan LEAF had when it was new.
If Nissan offered you the opportunity to rent a battery replacement by making monthly payments for as long as you own your Nissan LEAF, instead of a one time payment, with $0 down at signing guaranteeing you at least 70% battery capacity for as long as your own your LEAF, how interested would you be in taking advantage of this offer?
I said $30 as ideal, no more than $50 but once again, 70% is just too low.At what monthly payment (for as long as you own your Nissan LEAF with $0 down at signing), would you be willing to rent a new 24kWh Lithium Ion Battery?
Note: Based on this offer, if the Nissan LEAF battery capacity fell below 70%, Nissan would replace your battery at no additional charge.
Please slide the bar to indicate your ideal monthly payment.
either way, great survey. really gives one an impression of what Nissan is looking at.
ILETRIC said:This is also why I settled for leasing Spark which - as a car - does not compare to Leaf, but delivers about 90 miles range in combined driving. Yeah, Nissan. You lost a customer there. I could have leased 2013. Nope. I did not. Range!
Too bad it's going back in 32 months... :lol:TomT said:The odds are that the Spark battery will hold up better than the Leaf battery too...
