Featured Nissan To Offer Refab Batteries for Leaf

Interested to hear @hill 's take.

 

same "no range warranty" warranty as before? LOL - yep. I just wonder if these used batteries would even be good enough to build a DIY grid tied battery backup for our solar. Nissan traction pack fun fact;
Unlike rev1 Tesla roadster - which is offered a NEW upgrade pack w/ even greater range (from 250ish miles to 400 miles) Nissan will NOT ever offer bigger upgrades for older Leaf's. Probably for the best.

If I didn't live in an English speaking country, I could get a bigger traction battery in my 2014 BMW i3-REx. Good thing I can't find evidence of battery capacity loss.

That's the beauty of a phev - there's an ice to take up the slack upon capacity degradation.

if nissan believes in these batteries, they should stand behind them, and take the hits instead of the consumer.
