I would NOT have purchased my Leaf. We have less than 40,000 miles and are down 5 bars on a 2011. With the price of a new battery at $8000+ it is a stretch to find economic or environmental justification for buying a Leaf. I was willing to purchase a new battery for $5500 even though the return is marginal.
We were careful to charge to 80% until the range was too low to be functional. We also garaged our Leaf in a cooled environment and even so the battery degraded to less than 50% of the range in 35,000 miles.
We are very disappointed with Nissan in how the EV program has been managed.
