I only 110volt charge my leaf and cmax energy.If Nissan or others come out with the bigger batteries will this approach still be practicle?

It will, if your miles driven don't change.
Charging a 100kWh battery pack on 110 works just fine if you only drive 30-50 miles each day.

Yes. You will just have a bigger reserve. If you have a car with 400 mile electric range and you drive it for 20 miles then it will still take 4 hours to charge via 110V. If you completely drain the 400 mile car then it will take 5 days to charge via 110V.epic said:I only 110volt charge my leaf and cmax energy.If Nissan or others come out with the bigger batteries will this approach still be practicle?
dm33 said:Charging speed can be measured as the number of miles of range per hour of charging. The size of the battery doesn't change the speed of charge except for L3. L1 tends to be around 3-5 miles of range per hour. L2 is around 25-30. L3 tries to charge the battery fast enough that it goes from empty to 80% in 20 minutes regardless of how large the battery is. Tesla's still charge in roughly 20 minute with a much larger battery. However, today's L3 charge stations intended for the LEAF may not provide sufficient current to charge a larger battery in 20 minutes. We may need to go through another round of charger upgrades.
I kinda agree.. but we're talking the "Lizard Battery" here and it was 61* or around there in the valley last night...smkettner said:^^^^^ I speculate the limit is due to no active cooling.

This was no summer night at 105* :lol:
