I would say his prices where to high: and then I have heard, that it was hard to get in contact with them. But most likely, with the current EV market? Adding € 15.000 into an extender, is just stupid....Just goes to show you that technology isn't always enough: there has to be (sufficient) demand for the product.
I guess we all would love to know what happened: but obviously he is keeping it quiet for now? And in isn't in the news either, because he is just a small player.I'd love to buy him a beer and listen to his story of what happened.
He told on Tweakers.net that he doesn't own any private persons money: he can't say much about the bankruptcy though, and most likely needs to keep the real reason secret.He (?) may need to stay off the radar. Bankruptcies are for protection from creditors, and some can be very unhappy.
The market for an upgraded liquid cooled battery pack for the Leaf could be quite large. Overall, Leaf is very well designed--but the ancient battery pack technology need a refresh.An insufficient market equals an unsustainable business.
I doubt that: what if they break down? One of the issues mister @mux had is several of his extenders broke down, and according to the reviews. The aftersales wasn't very good, for example he wouldn't reply on emails.The market for an upgraded liquid cooled battery pack for the Leaf could be quite large.

Sure, but then I would just wanna keep driving with the original battery pack. Even its down to 70% SoH.That is one philosophy for sure! But some of us like keeping our hardware going as long as possible rather than trading around; once I have worked on a machine long enough, I sort of have a relationship with it and like being with it. I still miss my 510s and 2002s. Rusted away.
Plus it sucks if you paid to have a battery delivered and it’s not arriving. As a customer you have a higher claim than most other creditors so the chances of getting some of you money back are high. Got to make a stink though or it’s possible you’ll get nothing. Other creditors will be happy to take your money. And possibly already have.That suxks. I loved what they were doing.
