Eu bem disse que a Nissan ia tentar "espremer a teta"...
Cá está a confirmação! Obrigação de ir todos os anos ao concessionário para ele ligar o carro ao computador, pedir a carro a capacidade da bateria e ao terceiro ano PAGA!
Ou então, adeus garantia...

Tecnicamente não há qualquer razão para isso já que o computador do carro pode efetuar sozinho o testes à bateria e avisar o dono para ir à reparação e se o insistir em não ir, fica registado que foi detetada a avaria. Agora presença obrigatória mesmo sem ter qualquer problema é mesmo "espremer a teta"!
Já não têm lucro suficiente ao vender o carro poor 37000€?! (32000 + 5000 do bolso do contribuinte em geral)

Ainda têm a lata de chamar "manutenção" da bateria, quando as células são completamente seladas e não há qualquer maneira de substituir líquidos ou o que quer que seja. Se avariarem são simplesmente substituídas e as velhas desfeitas para reciclagem.

Penso que podem existir varios motivos que podem justificar este controle:
- Vão ser os primeiros carros com esta tecnologia de baterias a circular (e as condições podem mudar muito conforme o dono);
- O nivel de exigencia no controle de qualidade que é costume no Japão (tb pode ser por uma questao de precaução);
- Pressão para que nada corra mal com os primeiros EV's de produção em massa (responsabilidade da Nissan perante toda a industria automovel - e com prémios ganhos);
- Alguma atenção para com as oficinas para não estarem contra esta nova tecnologia (por não trazer valor acrescentado depois nos serviços pos-venda).
- Confortar os donos que pensam que ao pagar uma revião ficam mais descansados por saber que está tudo bem.
