I hope one day someone opens up the inverter management code and removes that stupid "no regen" sh*t.
It doesn't make any sense as it has little effect for SOH. Especially regen up to 20kW (~1C charge rate).
https://www.facebook.com/groups/nissan. ... 7787175696 is another post from him. He's at 119K miles now. I thought he just hit 3 bars left but after finding my previous post (quoted), that's not the case.Lothsahn wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 5:48 pmHow can he even use that thing? Is he not replacing the battery just for laughs?cwerdna wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 3:41 pmFrom https://www.facebook.com/groups/nissan. ... 454424765/, this post from today still shows him at 3 capacity bars remaining and now at 118K miles in Los Angeles.cwerdna wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 7:45 pmOk, this person (initials MT) in Los Angeles has a 3 (!) bar remaining '11 with 115K miles.

I think this is the worst I've seen of a Leaf in the US.![]()
I have stabilized around the same 50 Ahr with a lizard battery dated January 2016. So similar, although I have gone through one more (Texas) summer than you.
Probably time for a different energy rating system for all EVs - that gives buyers a better idea of energy loss trends. Does seem Nissan's design results in fairly rapid energy loss early, then a stabilization period that many buyers should know about so that they can make a better decision about their use cases.
Based on conjecture from the 30/40/62 kWh threads, I'm thinking that the 40 kWh pack will do at least as well (degrade at the same rate) as the current lizard pack (the 30 kWh pack was a non-starter).Marktm wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 9:14 amNow I'm wondering if cramming 40/60 kWh in the same space with essentially very limited, if any cooling, will now get Nissan back in the same problem of continuous degradation in our hot climates of TX, AZ, NM, etc. Lot's of opinions and data on this, but any conclusions?
I have also seen a reduction in the annual Ahr loss.
Just got back from 10 days in Cement Creek area (South of Crested Butte). Like those temperatures!
Original battery, manufactured in 10/2013
