Nissan Leaf Likely To Offer Larger Battery For Longer Range

Now Nissan executive Andy Palmer has come close to confirming that a longer-range Nissan Leaf is in the cards, though likely not until 2016 or even 2017.

In an interview at last week's New York Auto Show with Palmer, who is Nissan's product chief, he said offering multiple battery-pack options with different ranges in the Leaf was being debated internally.

Palmer noted that the Leaf electric car would be on a standard Nissan model cycle of updates every five or six years.

But he said the timing of updates was somewhat complicated by the significant updates made to the Leaf for 2013--just two years into its run--when production for the U.S. market shifted from Japan to Tennessee.

He called the idea of a longer-range Leaf was the subject of "intense internal debate," with some parties feeling that the 2014 Leaf's rated range of 84 miles was enough for the vast majority of users--and others feeling that more U.S. buyers could be captured with a range in the triple digits.

In the end, Palmer suggested, there could be "two or even three" battery-pack options offered in future Leaf models--"varying by market" where the demand was strongest.

Qué buena noticia!

Me parece muy lógico. No se porqué se ve normal que haya opción de motorizar un coche desde 80cv hasta 200 ó 300, y sin embargo pretendan que todo el mundo esté contento con la misma capacidad de batería.
Que cada uno escoja la que necesite, digo yo.

Aunque 2017 se me hace lejano... ahora al leaf le va bien, y viendo la competencia directa, no anda mal de autonomía, todo dependerá supongo de cuánto apriete la competencia para que ese 2017 se adelante.

Saludos.

Esto también confirma que el ZOE tendrá evolución en las baterías y con diferentes precios de Alquiler, casi seguro, vamos.
