I doubt they will change the shape that much. Lots of retooling needed for that. Maybe the next EV after the Leaf? Minor tweeks in the front or rear bumpers isnt that difficult. Reprogramming is an idea, but as is you already got to shift to drive twice for eco mode. Shift 3 times for the even more eco mode?
Not sure how much room is under the hood for batteries. The rep at the presentation I went to said they wanted the hood area to look like a regular car.
I think the Leaf is more of a proof of concept vehicle vs the end all EV. Testing the waters to see if its a go in this market.
