Good morning, all, from Melbourne, Australia.
My first EV, a 2019 Leaf e+G with 86,000km on the clock and 94% SOH, has arrived from Japan and is about to come out of quarantine, ready for compliance. With luck I'll have it on the road in the next few weeks.
I've driven several EVs (Tesla S, X & 3 plus BMW i3) and ridden in Leafs but never driven one, strangely, though I've done a lot of homework and I'm confident I've got a good deal on this one.
The purchase and import process has been smooth so far, but I'll wait until the car is roadworthy and registered (and I've driven it!) to make a final judgement. Happily, and surprisingly, the car also arrives with a spare set of alloy wheels and tyres, plus assorted other accessories, like chrome door handle covers & a spare gear shift mushroom!!!
What I'm hoping to gain from the collected wisdom of this site is how to make the most of this vehicle, which will mainly be a city car.
Before I fork out for LeafSpy Pro, is there a better or simpler alternative for someone who's comfortable but not proficient with tech?
I'm getting a Zappi smart charger installed at home and I already have solar panels and a battery, so advice on the most effective & cheapest charging techniques would be welcomed.
Of course, anything else you can throw my way will be good, too.
I'm looking forward to what's ahead!
Cheers - Nutso
