I am not an expert here, but if one cell can cause this to happen, then it would be a design flaw. With the number of cells the LEAF has, there is a very possibility that one of them will be out of sync with others. This difference would be very noticeable during the last few miles and would trigger scenarios like Kelangst more often. And it would just get worse as the batteries age and they will get more out of sync more frequently.
Seems something wrong here and I hope it is wrong, because I will be very scared to drive when my battery capacity reaches less than 20 miles.
