2016 Leaf might get 30 kWh pack, 100+ mile range, unless MyNissanLeaf people are smoking crack

May 21, 2015 May 21, 2015

Maybe the 2016 Leaf will (finally) come with two battery pack sizes – 24 kWh and 30 kWh?  And maybe Nissan will be selling upgraded battery packs to owners of existing Leaf’s?  But maybe the people on a certain MyNissanLeaf forum are just smoking crazy stuff? Over on a MyNissanLeaf…

Nissan might shift battery cell production to LG Chem in bid to compete with Tesla Model 3

September 16, 2014 April 13, 2015

The whole car industry must be able to compete against a 200+ mile range $35,000 MSRP electric car from Tesla Motors, by 2017.  That fact is probably what’s behind today’s news/rumors that Nissan may be shutting down its battery factories and switching to LG Chem as their battery supplier.  In…

Nissan’s hot battery is soon, real battery tech improvements (180+ mile range) coming in 2017, per Andy Palmer

May 9, 2014 April 13, 2015

Is it a mistake if Nissan waits until 2017 to unveil better battery pack for the Nissan Leaf?  A month ago I covered some rumors suggesting the “Hot Battery” and other battery improvements were just around the corner for Nissan, and that the company might even do a mid-year upgrade…

Silent running electric cars saves your health from noise pollution ills

April 30, 2014 April 9, 2015

In a recent video stunt, Nissan held a Nissan Leaf “race” in the quietest village in Europe to demonstrate how electric vehicles can rid the world of noxious noise pollution problems.  Most of the worry causing us to think about electric vehicles is fumes – greenhouse gases and other stuff…

Nissan Leaf hot battery, increased range, may (or may not) be coming soon, possibly

April 2, 2014 April 25, 2015

Will Nissan launch, this year, a version of the Nissan Leaf that gives a 135 mile driving range?  According to an article last week on TheStreet.com, that’s exactly what Nissan will do, by this fall.  Unfortunately the article offers no solid proof, just a pile of weak guesswork.  However, one…

Future Nissan Leaf could have multiple battery pack sizes, like Tesla Model S

November 21, 2013 April 13, 2015

Could Nissan be getting ready to offer multiple battery pack capacity options on the Nissan Leaf?  According to a report on PlugInCars.com, that’s exactly the case, though it’s not clear WHEN this will occur. Reportedly, Pierre Loing, Nissan’s Vice President of Product and Advanced Planning and Strategy, said that Nissan…

Was it ever time to declare the Nissan Leaf a flop?

October 10, 2013 April 25, 2015

Remember the Nissan Leaf sales figures in 2012?  It was pretty dismal.  While looking something else up I just came across this Time Magazine article from September 2012:  Is It Time to Declare the Nissan Leaf a Flop? Well..  Looking back at that, Leaf (and Volt and Model S) sales…

Chevy Volt future murky due to price competition from Nissan, Tesla and BMW

August 9, 2013 May 13, 2015

Just how afraid of Tesla is GM?  I’m asking this because of a pair of events, one where Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk laid out the company’s roadmap making it clear they can and will bring a 200+ mile range electric car to market in a couple years, and another…

Renault-Nissan makes electric cars look mainstream after selling 100,000th EV

July 24, 2013 March 31, 2015

While Ford and Toyota disappoint us in announcing they won’t collaborate on hybrid drive trains for full-capability SUV’s and light trucks, Nissan gladdens us with news they’ve sold their 100,000th electric vehicle. I frequently come across naysayer articles pointing out that electric car sales are 0.5% of all car sales. …

Tesla Model S’s in limousine services, and the possibility of electric taxi service

April 30, 2013 March 31, 2015

Can electric cars be successful as a Taxi?  Taxi’s seem to drive lots of miles a day, which would be many more than the 70-100ish mile range of typical electric cars.  Where New York City has launched use of Nissan Leaf as taxi’s ahead of deploying the electric e-NV200 minivan,…

Are electric cars with small battery packs and fast charging a great combination for EV adoption?

April 10, 2013 April 13, 2015

A somewhat surprising is that fast charging (for electric cars) can reduce the cost of electric cars.  Because electric car cost is a major factor delaying electric car adoption, if fast charging support would allow a cheaper electric car then it’s important to get fast charging infrastructure out there as…

CHAdeMO and SAE DC Fast Charging adoption possibilities – EV adoption prospects are hanging in the balance

April 10, 2013 April 13, 2015

It’s thought that DC Fast Chargers deployment is a crucial element to widespread electric car adoption.  For example, the Japanese deployed a widespread CHAdeMO network in 2008 and immediately saw electric car utilization rates go up.  My feeling is that fast charging is the way to implement the normal behavior…

Carlos Ghosn’s quest for electric car leadership heading to China

March 27, 2013 April 25, 2015

It appears two things are at the top of Carlos Ghosns’ mind about the Nissan Leaf:  China, and cost reduction.  At appearances in Portugal and Japan recently, Ghosn talked about his intention for Nissan to take a leadership role in the Chinese electric car market, following the pattern which let…

Tesla Model S smokes the Tesla Roadster at REFUEL 2012 electric car race

July 2, 2012 April 13, 2015

While the Tesla Model S has all the appearances of a luxury sedan, under the covers is the power plant of a sports car, as was proved last weekend when four Model S’s took the top positions in a large electric car time trial race. Under the sleek luxury sedan facade of the Tesla Model…

Many are concerned about warranty coverage of the Nissan Leaf battery pack, it’s expected useful life-time, what sort of repairs are needed for the battery pack, and what about that factory in Smyrna that’s supposed to increase Nissan Leaf production.
