| Description of the problem | It seems to me that the e-pedal has not been designed correctly for the heavier weight of the 62kw battery. This is especially true for those of us that have a previous year 42 kw battery model. I purchased the 2019 nissan leaf plus sl trim and traded in my 2018 nissan leaf sl on 2/8/2020. I noticed the braking distance with e-pedal has increased dramatically, by about 2x this distance. That seems to be out of line and should be corrected. |
