@craftygardennz@mastodon.nz very interesting! My old Leaf is still good on that front, but the range is frustrating occasionally even so (I have the 24kWh version). I wonder how this would compare to trading my Leaf in on a more modern EV.
The other thing I'm interested in is the fate of the old batteries. I gather they can have a good retirement as domestic batteries in a solar set up. And I'm pretty keen on that idea.

@stephen@ephemera.vital.org.nz @craftygardennz@mastodon.nz in the case of the EVCS it's a lot harder as they take the old BMS for making a new pack. To me this is somewhat disappointing as there are very simple CAN translators available to interface a leaf pack as is with solar inverters.
