That is spot on!

No, the increase in '14 and '15 range from 75 to 84 miles was due to the elimination of the 80% charge option but it still existed on the '13.Stoaty said:Sorry to burst your bubble, but the change in EPA rating was due to the elimination of the 80% charge option and the way EPA calculated the range. Testing by Tony Williams showed no improvement in range. It was all smoke and mirrors.Evoforce said:This to me lends credence to the slightly larger actual energy density (2015) as compared to the original 2011. So the approximate 7% surface charge translated to a gain of 10 EPA miles on vehicles after 2011-12. I believe 11-12 were rated EPA 74 miles and 13-15 are rated 84 EPA miles.
RegGuheert said:It doesn't matter what I believe, since it is warranted to last that long (or 100,000 miles) by Nissan. If it doesn't last, you get a new one. I DO believe Nissan will last that long.Evoforce said:If you believe those batteries will last 10 years in hot climates, I've got some desert property I can sell you...That's right. And, as I said, a 30-kWh battery with 10 bars remaining has as much range as a 12-bar LEAF with all 12 bars still showing.Evoforce said:Remember the warranty is to repair to a minimum of 9 bars for capacity. That in fact is the warranty...
Thanks for the correction! Yes, that's what I meant!dhanson865 said:"And, as I said, a 30-kWh battery with 10 bars remaining has as much range as a 24-kWh battery with all 12 bars still showing"
That is a bit of tautology, isn't it?dhanson865 said:as the first version has a bit of tautology going on there and likely confuses anyone that reads it.
