"EVs Enhanced, a company in Christchurch, New Zealand, will introduce its 16
Blade battery, a complete replacement platform for the Nissan Leaf, beginning
in March of 2023. The company says it wants to take early electric cars like
the Leaf and make them better. The Leaf was a groundbreaking car when it was
new, but the battery was always it weakest link, primarily because Nissan
decided not to use liquid cooling. Air cooling works pretty OK most of the
time, but not so well in very hot locations and hardly at all during fast
charging.
The 16 Blade battery uses an active thermal management system and has been
designed to fit within the confines of the original Nissan battery pack
enclosure. The company says its mission is “to develop and offer upgrades that
enable existing electric vehicles to remain usable, relevant, and desirable as
they age. By applying current technology, it is possible to make these vehicles
significantly better, faster, and with longer range than when they were new.”
“The intention is to extend the usable lifetime of these vehicles as much as
possible, firstly for the early adopters that originally purchased these
vehicles and then for the following owners as they are ready to embrace this
superior technology. We love electric vehicles and consider any steps towards
promoting their adoption to be a worthy cause,” EVs Enhanced says. Amen to
that."
