2013 Leaf: QC vs lower mileage

[Jefe]

It's unfortunate that we haven't progressed faster in the past 5 yrs

I think this assessment varies widely based on your region. In Raleigh, NC, I think we have seen nothing but an increase in infrastructure. Though it probably still lags well behind CARB states.

To me, this question is less about QC vs. non-QC as it is SV vs. S. I don't think 10K miles should be a factor at all, as it has been demonstrated that battery health has less to do with mileage as it does with age and environment. To me, the benefits you get from the SV trim level are so much greater than the S, that it would not even be a question if the cost was the same.
