fedi, should I upgrade my 2013 Nissan Leaf AZE0 to 69kWh?

it'll cost a whole boatload of money (13k) but it's a load cheaper than any comparable new option that gets you ~70kwh worth of fresh battery

and I also really like the ZE0 for being a down to earth physical button loving car that just works and still does most of its stuff mechanically..

I could also get the 40kwh pack for basically half that, but that's also almost half the power, it'd still make driving longer distances kinda tensešŸ«

@anthropy Is it an option to add liquid cooling? I feel like protecting the batteries is worthwhile, given the investment.

@jez unfortunately not, but I also don't see the batteries getting super warm unless I fast charge a lot, which I don't intend to do; I've never seen my batteries be more than 30-40% on the temperature meter on the dashboard, and that was while fast charging

@anthropy Didn't realise it already measures it! In that case, since it's a known quantity, it sounds unnecessary for your case.
