Why is the VIN so important for a 40 kWh car?Oilpan4 wrote:How about a car with a 40kwh battery?
Maybe a "C" for the 4th space on the vin?
The next year or so I may be hunting for an upgrade.
FWIW, the (62 kWh) e+ Leaf on the show floor at CES had B for the 4th character from the left.TexasLeaf wrote:The VIN on my 2018 has an A as the fourth character.Oilpan4 wrote:How about a car with a 40kwh battery?
They might. Nissan's had released a 2004 350Z (I had one of these) and later a 2004.5.Oilpan4 wrote:I may end up buying the battery with out the rest of the car attached to it.
Also need to avoid the 62kwh car and/or battery.

So far as long as it's a 2018 or 2019 I'm good.
Unless they come out with a special 2019.5 e+, which I don't think is going to happen in the US but no one seems to know for sure.
For future reference for any who might have doubts, page 19 of https://testing-public.carmd.com/Tsb/Do ... NTB14-059c (TSB NTB14-059c) confirms the A or B in the 4th character as being a means to tell if a '16 S is 24 or 30 kWh. It also has various HV battery part numbers covering '11 to '17 US Leafs.
