> That's why you see a TON of stories about degradation on Nissan Leaves

Mind you, you need to remove the 2011 Nissan "Leaves" from the dataset, they had bad chemistry that didn't survive much on hot climates. New batteries are better.

Hot climates? Like what? Atlanta (where tons of leaves were sold because of local tax rebates IIRC) is definitely well within the normal range for North America. Not a lot of leaf owners in the Southwest (big commuting distances).

Saying they didn't survive hot climates is kind of misleading. "The warm range of normal" is more accurate.
