How to solve the battery capacity decay?
According to foreign media reports, Nissan has released a new plan to replace the used batteries of LEAF models with "refabricated" batteries. Compared with the new battery, this "remade" battery gives users a certain price discount.
After a long time of use, the capacity of the on-board battery of an electric vehicle will decline, which is unavoidable. Normally, the decay rate (decrease) of battery capacity is only a few percentage points, but some Nissan Leaf owners reported that their on-board battery capacity decayed at a relatively large rate.
The Nissan Leaf has promised to consume 66 percent of its electricity for every 100 miles driven for 96 months (8 years). However, according to a recent study, the capacity of the original 24kWh battery will decay by 20 percent of the original battery capacity after 5 years of use.
Interestingly, the research report also pointed out that Nissan's original 30kWh battery decays even higher than the old battery. In contrast, earlier Tesla Model S and Model X models performed better, with a battery capacity decay rate of only 10 percent after the mileage reached 150,000 miles.
In order to alleviate the problem of battery capacity fading, Nissan has released a new battery replacement plan, which will be implemented first in Japan. If Nissan owners buy the new original 24kWh, 30kWh and 40kWh on-board batteries, the prices they need to pay are 650,000 yen (about 6,200), 800,000 yen (about 7,600), and 820,000 yen (about 6,200). 7800).
Luckily, it's only 300,000 yen (about 2,850) to buy the remastered battery.
