Eastern Time USA – September 5th – 8:30 PM
Pacific Time USA – September 5th – 5:30 PM
Europe (UK) – September 6th – 1:30 AM

Insideevs still keeps talking about 60 kWh option, though.

In addition, a larger battery option is also expected (~60 kWh), pushing the new LEAF’s total range past 200 miles, making it a more direct competitor to the Chevrolet Bolt EV (Opel Ampera-e) and new Tesla Model 3.

I assume I can watch it on YouTube, via my TV?

Anyone going the the Nissan dinner and drinks event in the bay area with the new LEAF showing?

Anyone going the the Nissan dinner and drinks event in the bay area with the new LEAF showing?

Planning to attend, on the 14th.

Anyone know:

Has it been absolutely confirmed we will get a close-up look at a Gen two there?

Can we get an October test-drive reservation then, or only at the PIA event at De Anza on the 16th?

Back to tonight...

Anyone heard rumors of whether efficiency and range data will be announced?

That's actually of more interest to me than the pack capacity(s).

My understanding is that a car will be there to see in full. A bit pointless if not.

I'll probably be watching it live. The timing works well for me, since I put my kids to bed at 8, and it starts at 8:30 EDT.

Biggest questions for me are range and QC speed. I need my next EV to be at least a regional car, which relies on both of those things. If it's just a better commuter, it does nothing for me.
