New design, autonomous, and a 60 kWh battery pack, reportedly with the same chemistry our favorite transport pods use now (lithium-ion NMC).

But it still doesn't look like the pack has a thermal management system.
 
So, the new 30 kWh Leaf, hardly sold anywhere yet, has just been obsoleted. What I'd need is a solid 40 kWh output, so given the degradation and Nissan's tendency not to have it all available even from the get go, 60 kWh should just about cover it for me for a long time. And here I was sort of dreaming of getting a 7-seater e-NV200 with the 30 kWh pack. Seems a little silly now. Not quite as silly as making do with the tiny and already degraded pack in my C-Zero, but anyway. ;)
