Re: [EVDL] EVLN: What if 2011 LEAFs were Retrofitted to 2016 Range?

I've been wondering for a few months if/when (<90 mile range) EV auto manufacturers would announce/release retrofits for the earlier models to bring them up to the 125/150/176/200 mile range. Tesla has already established that practice, but they are building a car company and have (I assume) hi

You could try using LeafSpy to check the battery condition. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Turbo3.Leaf_Spy_Lite Peri mentioned ventilating, but I would run it only when outdoor air temps are at least 5 degrees below indoor air temp. Night time pre-cooling for the following d

The Leafs seem to be the most reliable as a population, at least I haven't run across information to the contrary yet, while the i3, e-Golf and 500e have some teething pains, the FFE has SSN events. Is there any website with data on reliability for all/most of the electrics ? On 5/6/2015 5:00

Bob, thanks for writing in about your effort and the response. It spurred me into action, I went there and submitted my thoughts on the Prius (I have an '02, and on the newest models), but more so on the FCV vs BEV debate. Perhaps many of us could sway them, eventually. Thanks again, -Chris On

Do lithiums charge 4x faster than lead acid? Is this market positioning on their part? It might be apples and oranges, with the center 60-80% of the lithium pack used, and say 100% of the lead acid, of course it will take hours longer to take lead to 100%. That black striping looks horrible.
