A new hope.
There is a Ukrainian guy who has already gotten a 30kwh pack to work in an older 24kwh leaf.
He seems to think that the best way to get a 40kwh pack for a first gen leaf is take an old 24kwh pack, gut it, rip out all the first gen modules and repack it with second gen modules.
All he is waiting for is a 2nd gen battery to be come available.
And for Russia to not invade them.
