Nissan needs to up it's range. Older ones are sub 100 miles and do not have ACTIVE COOLING of battery as the BOLT HAS, this some battery life issues. The NEW NISSAN still barely has real world +100 mile range.
In 6 months of ownership, I just had my first almost dead getting home, with my 2015 Nissan Leaf SV. I ended up not charging it for about 6 hours. It was totally dead throwing seek service, all dash lights flashing and inability to charge. The lead acid battery was also dead. Oh yea that FLA battery dying is also another issue. I think I know why or at least how to prevent it, have it plugged in when ever parked.
Right now have 11 bars and my real world range is 80 miles at best... it says 89 or something like that. Since I am careful, always plan to never go below 20% to 15% (except yesterday), that is about 50-60 miles real world range. That is OK for my RT commute of 36 miles, but give me a break. Now it is getting hot I will be using AC. I got the car in October. I have not used AC except a short period to defrost windshield. I am guessing my 60 miles (with reserve) will go to 50 miles...... the battery is too small. 50Kwh battery is the MIN...
Nissan going to 30KWH is too little too late. They will need to up their game. I am thinking of unloading my Nissan Leaf after 6 months. I am pissed it went to 11 bars right after I got it. It is only 3 years old.... I am guessing I will not get to 8 bars by end of warranty but close to it.... Then I will be looking at a $6,000 bill, HALF of what I paid for this thing.
BACK TO TOPIC... THE BOLT KICKS RANGE ASS...... I talked to a lady with a new BOLD at the park where the freebee charge stations are. She DROVE IT straight from Saint Louis where she bought it, straight to Memphis.. 280 miles! !!!! Try that in the LEAF... that would be for me 3 or 4 charges. With that said the BOLT is a smaller car. The LEAF is very roomy, too roomy. It has a ton of head room... I kind of wish they had lowered the roof a bit, but all that window and head room is nice for volume. Nissan is at the bottom have end of the EV's... It is OK, but again for the price they need to up the game. I do think the Nissan is a better car all-around, but that damn range limit is not up to the current standards even with 30KWh battery.
