However, the loss of capacity (30 KWh) is alarming. Lost one bar after 18 months in moderate climate. Doesn't get too hot in the SF-Bay area. Looking forward, the leasing option can be very interesting in a couple years time. <br />Make it work and in all likelihood I will be a future customer.

Their goal is to be platform agnostic. <br /><br />A few things that are already well known in the LEAF World and that is replacing 24 kwh with 24 kwh is straightforward, easy and has been done before. Replacing 24 kwh with 30 kwh is not. BMS expects 24 kwh and a major reprogram is required for the BMS to recognize and assign that extra capacity. <br /><br />Obviously we could use a 24 kwh pack in a 30 kwh LEAF (BMS treats it as degraded pack) but that is backwards from where we want to go. <br /><br />But by signing up early, you reduce the only real risk of the program and that is high initial cost of the $1500 install.

The reason? I just got the firm estimate for replacement of my LEAF battery that has 10 bars: $7,757.95 (plus tax!) Ten bars doesn't cut it in Minnesota, especially with cold winters and an underdeveloped charging network. The car has a practical value of about $10,000, so to add $7,700 to it is insane. So now I wait and hope . . .PS: I agree with Bart G. comment that Fenix Power should focus on a single business concept, get that right, and then branch out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-58941812635213171992018-11-05T15:22:44.525-08:002018-11-05T15:22:44.525-08:00I have worked for many startups and whenever they ...I have worked for many startups and whenever they get confused on who their target market is and divide their resources it usually ends up in disaster. Especially when a product has not even been made yet.<br /><br />High end joy riders who are corvette lovers and then the comuter looking to expand their range in their Nissan Leaf are in my opinion two separate groups of people.<br /><br />I mean shoot Elio Motors is having a hard go and they are only asking like $8k for a new 84 Mpg vehicle. That's a single car.<br /><br />I hope it works. I really would like the Battery as a Service for my car.

This is being done to gauge interest and buoy the confidence of investors. The risk is minimal but a risk nevertheless as with any startup.

All I see currently is a website full of promises.<br /><br />Not one of their Corvettes has left their facility as far as I can see...<br /><br />I mean I could build that website. Fenix as a reliable company has zero credibility in my mind. Make something take a picture of it... then sell it!!<br /><br />How do they expect people to pay them when they can't build trust.

As far as "increasingly" obsolete range, I am thinking that the expansion of public charging options makes shorter ranges more viable than the early days. Keep in mind Fenix solution should keep your capacity well over 90% of original capacity ALL THE TIME. <br /><br />That is the key difference here and one that most seem to have lost. I have fielded comments in several online forums and not everyone is getting that message. <br /><br />But the key thing is that Fenix "seems" to be the first viable aftermarket option which means their success will breed success AND innovation. I do see original 24 kwh LEAFs getting a boost in future product lines. Its not an easy challenge (as we have seen) but I believe it can be done and as soon as one aftermarket company gets a successful product out there, they open the door to opportunities to expand on that success.

Guess somebody needs to get the ball rolling and it might as well be me. I like the idea of seeing that useful lives of first generation Nissan Leafs prolonged. And I'd like to think there are some people out there who would be willing to spend $99 a month to maintain full capacity of their car. I do have some doubts in this regard, a lot of people have a hard enough time being convinced that leasing can be a cost-effective way to drive a vehicle and I'm not sure that people will feel like paying 1200 per year just to maintain range that is quickly becoming obsolete, though we both know that it's more than adequate for most people most of the time. It sounded like the monthly lease prices would be expected to rise. If that's true, that will also be a major turnoff 4 people. I think in order for the company to have success they're going to have to guarantee a rate for something like 3 years or even 5 years. I wish them well and hope that my worries turn out to be just that worries.Chaz Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907517915771121982noreply@blogger.com
