I don't know exactly why the battery 'bricks' when it is depleted, but apparently the Nissan Leaf doesn't brick when its battery is depleted. The Nissan Leaf's warranty does say that the battery much be plugged in within 14 days of full depletion however, which leads leads me to believe that they have implemented something similar to what kleinbl00 suggested[1].
