I suspect that a LEAF/Next in "S" trim will be available in a 40kWh size in the low 20's after incentives.

New article out from someone who test drove a 2019 LEAF. 38.4 kwh usable that pencils to 153.4 miles @ a modest 4 miles/kwh. Stronger motor, no info on DCFC and it was a mule so no info on any tech upgrades.
Nearly exactly the range Nissan talked about 2 years ago!DaveinOlyWA said:153.4 miles @ a modest 4 miles/kwh

Nice info on the 60kWh for future Rogue Sport EV, I haven't read that one yet. Do you have any more details?ydnas7 said:its looks like 40 kWh (38.4 useable) for LEAF 2

60kWh for future Rogue sport EV.
Oh well

The chemistry needs to be improved so cooling isn't needed. Once the cooling crutch is used it's hard to get off of.
I applaud Nissan for making the right, but difficult choice.
If you're in a climate that the Leaf doesn't work as well in, by all means buy a Garbage Motors Bolt.
