They will, like all batteries, degrade with time. Nissan warrants them for 8 or 10
years (I forget which) to take enough charge to take you 80% of that....so toward
the end of the life cycle probably 85-90 miles.

From flat discharged to full takes about 4-5 hours on a 220 charger, pretty much
overnight on a 110 circuit. Thing is, range is not the issue for a lot of us....not me
anyway. What is an issue is the little sucker goes like a bat out of hell and handles
about that well, too. Steering is very quick and the bulk of the weight (batteries)
is along the length of the floor pan, so it really holds the road.

As an only partially reformed delinquent, it requires considerable self control not
to drive a little more aggressively than might be prudent.
