% Also [dated] see: % http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=22254 Rumor: Leaf 2017 to get 40kWh [comments] Jul 13, 2016 kensiko This is a rumor that we heard from a few dealers. The Leaf 2017 will get an upgraded battery pack to 40 kWh in november. Base S will get the 30 kWh version as early as next month. jjeff So would the 40kWh battery fit in the same space? If not I wonder where the extra bulk will fit.....Now if Nissan will only get busy and start importing the eNV200, that with a 40kWh would be perfect for me 8-) LeafMuranoDriver Makes sense if they aren't going to the 2nd Gen [Leaf] until 2018. I'm guessing they'll be able to fit the 40 [kWh pack] in the same size of the 30 ... DaveinOlyWA well a statement with no supporting links definitely qualifies as a rumor. kensiko I'll give you that.

Re: true or false 40kw battery François Viau [forum] Administrator I have doubts too, but the information comes from different vendors who have had this information at an official meeting Sales from NIssan Canada. I spoke directly with one of them who says hard like iron this: Leaf S 2016: the next batch (delivery July 2016) will have a 30 kWh battery 2017 Leaf SV & SL: Even bodywork, a few minor changes and new battery 40 kWh Leaf 2018: Complete overhaul with new battery of 60 kWh So ... it is still just rumors, yes, but based on more than a person who reports the same information. Nissan is usually very stingy on ads. So if you see soon disembark Leaf S 2016 with a battery of 30 kWh, you say there is a good chance that the rest is true. Whatever this is all very exciting, one question remains omnipresent: AT WHAT PRICE(?) ... - [dated] http://insideevs.com/nissan-tests-48-kwh-leaf-at-ecoseries/ Nissan Tests Longer Range, 48-kWh LEAF at ECOseries 3 years ago (2013) % I found an UPDATE to the Leaf gen2 dated a month ago: % http://pushevs.com/2016/08/11/update-on-the-nissan-leaf-40-kwh-story/ Update on the Nissan Leaf 40 kWh story Aug 11, 2016 ... 40 kWh is the usable battery capacity ... The total battery capacity should be 45-46 kWh for the Nissan Leaf and the Renault Zoe R400 ... % The wording reads like when the 40kWh pack is made available, the 21kWh pack will be dropped, the 30kWh pack will shift down to only be offered on the S trim, and the SV and SL trims will offer the 40kWh pack. But we will have to wait for these options. For now, current (today) Leaf options are: cheaper S trim 21kWh, SV&SL trims 30kWh packs, see http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/versions-specs/ U.S. http://www.nissan.ca/en/electric-cars/leaf/versions-specs/ Canada % For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.0catch.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/article-Nissan-Leaf-will-get-a-40-kWh-battery-this-year-tp4683790p4683794.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
