Good day, I am not sure if anyone can help me and it was most likely I am screwed but I thought I would give it a shot. I recently purchased a used 2011 Leaf, pristine condition, I mean it literally doesn’t have any problems except for the battery seems not right since I charge it and it at full charge says only 30 maybe 35 miles total. I don’t know what I should do since I purchased it already and have no other option for a car but have been struggling with this COVID situation to find work. I just seems wrong that the battery should be so degraded especially since it’s such low mileage, only 67,000 and obviously well cared for. I can’t afford to buy a new car and a new battery is just as expensive basically so feel like ai really have no options. I have read a lot of stuff online, but don’t know which stuff is accurate. I have to constantly stress out hoping I can make it where ever I am headed because the CarWings doesn’t seem to work for anything and so none of the charging stations it lists are actually charging stations, at least the two I have had it direct me to.
I have read that there was a issue with the first gen batteries and that there was even a court case but I am not too clear on what my options are. I am just hoping some of you might have some suggestions or experience that might help me with some options. I am worried I will not be able to work because I am so limited and I live kind to in the boonies so limited public transit. The worse thing is it is really a beautiful car and driving it is a dream but I am really going to have figure out if there are any other options than buying another battery which is just not possible for me at the moment. I mean, if I had that kind of money In the first place I wouldn’t hav needed to purchase uses..
Any help wold really be appriated.
