For quite some time now, 100 miles has been the barrier that many automakers were trying to break, and just recently Nissan was successful in doing so. But now, the up and coming next-generation Nissan Leaf 200-mile range has been confirmed.
The new battery that Nissan has planned for the next-generation Leaf will be a 60-kWh battery; and now it has been confirmed that this plan will be put in motion but as to when it will become available still remains a mystery for the time being.
