Hello -
I know that Nissan has not released the tech specs on the battery yet (does anyone know when and if this will happen?), but is there any good information out there about the battery degradation for charging daily at 80%, 90% and 100%? Also it seems murky on how much quick-charging (say five times a week) would damage the battery.
The only information I've seen from Nissan is that the battery will likely lose 20% of its capacity every five years (I'm assuming they mean that will happen even with the "Long Life" (80%) charge schedule).
But I would really like to know how much more capacity the battery will lose over time if you charge beyond the 80%. I've been driving the car for three weeks now and 80% can only safely get you about 50 road miles on the highway.
Thanks,
Josh
