One of the things that's most exciting to me is that Nissan kept the battery attachment points exactly the same, so you can swap in the newer 40 kWh battery into the vehicle if you want. Makes me hopeful that in ~5ish years I can swap in something around 50-60 kWh (hopefully). That'd be pretty gnarly range and I think it'd pretty much cover all of my driving needs. Especially with aeromods included.
A leaf plus. The Nissan 62kwh battery kept the attachment points the same, the battery is just a little taller and weighs about 300lb more.
