Never claimed it was. Big world out there.

God bless Nissan. The Leaf provided a way for Americans to purchase a somewhat affordable EV. I'm greatful for that. The Leaf that I bought second hand got me into EVs. But ask Nissan how successful the Leaf was for them. Both the Nissan and GM maxed out highest EV sales months at around...

The Leaf has simply run it's course. Introduced as a 2011 model, and the current model re-used many parts from the old one, not enough of an update. I just don't think there is anything special about it that makes it desirable. I still think that the number of people looking to buy AN...

Selling my well loved 2014 Nissan Leaf SL $7500 62,000 miles Top of the line SL package with every option, plus window tinting Nav, Leather, Bluetooth, Heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel Bose stereo, Backup Camera and birds eye all around camera Also has an extra set of...

Yeah, the lease deal I mentioned was for the 2019 model in the US that they are clearing out because the 2020 model is improved (with the exception of charging speed!)

Out the door deal was 163/month, 36 months, $1000 down, 12k miles/year net of the CT rebate.

Yeah, the Limited adds the heat pump and a TON of other features. Being cost conscious though, I was trying to stick to the base model deal. Word got out about the deal quickly, and whenever I found one, it was sold before I could make a deal. I was in contact with about 8 different dealers...

Hi all, I joined here two years ago, when I started getting serious about buying a used Leaf. After some great advice here, I found an awesome white 2014 SL that I have loved every day of ownership of. I was perfectly happy, not shopping for cars, but heard about the great lease deals Hyundai...

Thanks all. The alternative is a Mazda CX-9 that gets probably 19 mpg for that trip. Here in CT, gas is currently around $2.60 per gallon, and electricity at home is .20/kwh. I think the key is going to be how reliably she can charge at school.

Hi All, My daughter will be commuting to college which is a one way trip of 35 miles next semester. I am thinking of having her use our 2014 Leaf. Battery SOH is currently around 87% according to Leafspy. The college has a few L2 chargers, so if she can charge there, there should be no range...

Honda Clarity. Could not get another EV. Next best thing.

As much as I love the idea of EV incentives, this seems like an ill-conceived idea. It took me one minute to read it to come to that conclusion. Did this really get passed? I did a google search and don't find anything, and I don't see it being reported on the EV sites.

I was thinking the same thing.

If this is true, we will see almost all preowned EVs priced under $15,000 being shipped to California. The amount should be graduated by the price of the car. If I was in CA, and qualified for this program, I'd be buying a Chevy Spark today. If you have been hesitating on buying a used Leaf...

Thanks for the explanation Mux
