Hi Cor etc.
How much $$ does it cost for a 62KWH? I've got a 2013 Leaf, just 1 bar down
on the battery capacity meter though, about 70 miles instead of 90ish when
it was a spring chicken. I'm in the Roanoke, VA area, would I have to go to
the stealership? Would Nissan even do it? Probably would just want to sell
a new Leaf.
Best Regards,
Mark

Oh and to answer the charging question: the car indicates that it will take
indeed something like 20 hours to fully charge from empty.
That is why I did get a Leaf with DC Fast Charge.
