And then we have the bigger Nissan Leaf debacle - Comments95 Apparently, some Nissan Leaf owners are finding the crispy weather in Phoenix, Arizona a bit too severe for the batteries in their electric cars.
The CBS affiliate in Phoenix reports that a growing number of the area's Leaf owners have lost large chunks of battery capacity, and the forums at MyNissanLeaf.com indicate that similar complaints have been recorded in other parts of Arizona, Texas and California. A table of battery capacity losses is being kept online here. Click Here

The correct word is "assembled" in the USA. When you import your factory from Japan, have it overseen by Japanese managers, and assemble vehicles from Japanese owned parts suppliers here in the US, it does not somehow magically become an American vehicle, no matter how you try and spin it.

Nissan Leaf - no wonder the Volt is outselling it 5 to 1 - Ouch. There's now some independent analysis that says the Nissan Leaf wilts in the heat.
Led by Leaf owner Tony Williams, a group of Nissan EV owners tested a dozen Leafs in Phoenix last weekend. The group put the Leafs on a pre-planned route at pre-determined speeds to measure their fully charged ranges and to find out if extensive heat has led to premature degradation of the car's battery capacity, according to posts on the My Nissan Leaf forums and Green Car Reports.
The group found that half the Leafs tested had, at "full" charge, battery-capacity indicators showing just 10 out of the original 12 bars and averaged slightly less than the 73-mile single-charge range certified by the EPA. One Leaf had just eight bars showing � indicating about a third of the battery capacity was gone � and went just 59 miles before petering out. And one Leaf, purchased new only a month ago, was already missing a battery-capacity bar.
Leaf owners in Arizona started making noise this summer about how the desert heat was causing their cars to lose battery capacity quicker than Nissan originally said. The automaker, which hasn't commented on the most recent Arizona results, previously estimated that the Leaf's battery pack will keep as much as 80 percent of its capacity after a decade of use.
