    Yes, I was only pointing out the article talking about the Japanese version as far as likely changes to an american model.

    - lower weight
    - more efficient heat pump hvac
    - smaller electronics
    - larger cargo area
    - slightly different battery

    We won't really know range or even battery capacity until nissan releases the details of the US model.

    We'll probably get all of that and a (unclear if optional/standard) 6.6 kW charger that the JDM version apparently isn't getting.

    WOW, what an incentive. Nissan gets serious about selling cars with that incentive.

    If they offered the 10k to purchasers then the purchaser could also get the $7,500 federal credit. Then they would really fly out the door...
