Absolutely! In fact, there is more value (to me) in anything larger than the 24kWhr pack. For example, I would not even pay $6k for a 24kWhr pack.
OrientExpress said:Would you consider a 40kWh upgrade swap for $8k?
Yes, I would spend $8k for that increase in mileage; my 2011 SV has 32,000 miles and 10 bars yet; since the mileage is low, I'm thinking the battery has an age factor association in addition to a usage factor. The chassis is still in great shape.OrientExpress said:Would you consider a 40kWh upgrade swap for $8k?
Your work would be most appreciated!OrientExpress said:I'm currently in contact with the post-sale and PR groups about this issue, and will post their response when and if I receive one.
dsh said:Im the Phoenix class-action representative from the Nissan Leaf battery degradation class action lawsuit that was filed against Nissan and I still own my 2011 Nissan Leaf w/ 101,800 miles and am down 6 capacity bars on the second battery which was replaced under the capacity warranty. I just spoke to Nissan customer service and they lowered the price of their 24 kilowatt hour battery to approximately $5,495. They're 40 kilowatt battery is now $12,495. They are discontinuing the 30 kilowatt hour battery and replacing those cars batteries with their 40 kilowatt hour battery. They have still yet to announce this which is odd and they will not install a 40 kilowatt hour in a 24 kilowatt hour equipped car. I told them about Fenix Power and that Fenix power will be the best solution because your batteries with a small subscription price every month will be kept at maximum capacity and you'll always be at 12 capacity bars.. Can't Wait!
OrientExpress said:Here is what I learned today from Nissan:
According to an official response that I have received from Nissan, they confirm that they are now replacing 30 kWh batteries for 2016 & 17 LEAF warranty claims with the newer 40 kWh. This is only for warranty claims.
This is only for 2016-17 cars, and does not apply to any 24 kWh cars of which the vast majority are out of their battery warranty period.
I expect more detailed info by the weekend.
Knowing what I know now about Nissan's ever-changing EV battery policies and their lack of battery development over the last 9 years, I can't recommend any car they make to my friends. And, I'm truly tired of having to dick around with Nissan and their poor customer service.webb14leafs said:OrientExpress said:Here is what I learned today from Nissan:

Sounds like I need to buy a 2017 ASAP. The newer warranties are much more generous than the old ones. I would fully expect to lose 4 bars over 8 years in the hot florida sun. I've been losing about 5% per year on the 2014 I bought 3 years ago.
