Leaf battery court settlement, US

It would be great if Nissan Australia would upgrade their battery warranty to reflect this decision.  Repairing the battery to nine bars if it drops to eight isn't exactly fabulous.

Don't hold your breath!

I agree, same car, same manufacturer, similar environment should be the same consideration...

Meh. The Americans are litigation-happy and always looking for someone to blame. I can say that since I am one!

I know there were some very real climate issues in Arizona but I don't think anyone here has suffered with less than expected performance over time.

I've lost one bar in three years, which comes back as soon as the regen kicks in after a couple of KMs. If I was down to 7 or 8 bars than I'd be making the warranty claim.

I'm sure if you measured any car it might only meet the manufacturer MPG under the best circumstances. I think the whole thing is overblown.
