Is Nissan going to crank up some long dead battery factory to generate old cells that haven't been produced for years? Or are they just going to stick in some new modules in the 2011-2016 battery case?
That's the rub. I suspected they may "stockpile" some 24 kW battery packs since they are committed to it for the "S" trim, but what does that mean way down the line? I refuse to believe that Nissan would toss all of that "EV platform engineering" effort if there wasn't a way to continue to retrofit new modules into old Leafs.
