Sorry. More than almost anyone, I wish this was not the case (it costs me money!).
In one case, this had happened after just 13,633 miles and one year of ownership.
In its official response to us last week, a Nissan spokeswoman told us there were “a few isolated cases where a very small number of consumers are reporting a one bar loss,” but that “the battery will have 80 percent of its capacity under normal use after 5 years.”

Hybrid cars are still in the developmental stages. We get teething problems but they'll improve. Once there is a consumer base, we can expect dramatic improvements as developers will be more willing to spend on R&D. Just wait ...

Washington — Nissan Motor Co. said it will begin U.S. production of its all-electric Leaf on Thursday in Tennessee as part of a $1.4 billion government loan.
The Japanese automaker won an Energy Department loan in 2010 to build a battery plant in Smyrna, Tenn., and to retool to build the Leaf at its assembly plant next door.
The Leaf will be built alongside the company's gasoline-powered products.
Nissan says it is the only automaker that manufactures its own electric vehicle batteries, at the biggest lithium-ion automotive battery plant in the United States.

Batteries can be mounted on the chassis, so this car can be just 130 - 140 inches in length, and with a smaller frame and lighter weight, it may need only lesser batteries. A small space of 10 cu. ft can be allotted for things at the back.
I wish some company makes such a car and put it to market. May be they can choose another scientist name like Volta, Ampere, Watt for it.
As a long time Nissan owner, I get emails from Nissan regularly, and I got one this morning pointing out that Nissan has now sold 100,000 Leafs (or would that be Leaves? )
I've only seen one on the road here in central PA, but I get the feeling that our terrain/weather is less than ideal for making the Leaf a practical primary vehicle for a lot of folks here.
Another "clean" addition to the Leaf... self-cleaning paint?
Will repelling water & oil keep dirt off? An interesting product idea at the very least
