Now you have.

I did mention some examples of trouble at https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=19842&start=240, but that was after the pandemic had begun.BuckMkII said:cdherman said:I am thinking I will indeed be getting a new battery at some point, unless Nissan fully tanks and cannot honor warranties......
I realize this is an old comment, but was this simply a rhetorical flourish, or meant to be taken seriously? I'm not super-attentive to the auto industry, but I haven't heard anyone say Renault-Nissan was in trouble.

How do you like the Niro? We are limping along with the old Leaf around town and a couple of aging ICEVs for longer duty. If the 2002 Taurus wagon gives any more trouble, I'm going to be tempted to give it away.cwerdna said:Heh.
Dang, I didn't realize they were already at that stage in the life cycle. Not that I've been shopping seriously for a car. I was just browsing the specs on a few models recently for fun.cwerdna said:However, '23 Niro (hybrid, PHEV and EV) are all a redesign and will look different inside and out.

Ahr 70.82
SOH 89.11
Hx 71.99
odo 15,666
Battery cells 9 mV
Still have the OEM lead-acid battery and it’s checking out fine. Not bad for a so-called “Lettuce Pack”!
joeriv said:Weather is a major factor - the average high temperature where I live during July is 85F compared to 106F in Phoenix. As we all know, heat is the battery killer.
As to durability, I have not seen any hard data on that.
Very few high mileage LEAFs. The statements regarding high durability are on a low mileage fleet overall so I don't take them seriously. Even GM or Ford would smell like roses if vehicles over 100k miles were few and far apart.joeriv said:As to durability, I have not seen any hard data on that.
cdherman said:In the meantime, I have a 40kwh replacement battery, courtesy of Nissan under warranty. At this point, my 2016 Leaf is an amazing steal in terms of cost. Paid right around 25k$, got a $7500 tax incentive and then the 30kwh battery died (was a little annoying towards the end), resulting in a nice 40kwh replacement.
The 40 kwh battery is so far such a joy. Compared to the 20 or so kwh I had previously. Feels much more than 2x the size. Leafspy no longer works accurately, seems like the upgrade really messes with a lot of things. But the battery is real and large.
