So I have decided to go with an electric car. I have been driving a built rockcrawler landcruiser getting around 7-8mpg for the last few years. I picked up a newer style 03 landcruiser but then made the mistake of building that one. I just can't afford the gas anymore so I decided to get a little commuter car for going to work and back every day. About 60 miles round trip. I has assumed that electric cars would be too expensive but I then started finding a ton of Leafs in the 7-9k range with under 50,000 miles. Why are they so cheap used? Is there some major design flaw I need to be aware of? I'm looking at the 2011-2012's since they are in my budges range. Is there certain features that are a MUST have for those years? I researched some on the leaf and found a major recall on the batteries and they should be swapped out to "hot batteries". I have no idea what that is or how you can tell the leaf has had the repair done. Are the "hot batteries" holding up better? Are those standard on later years? I also see lots of reviews about AC issues. What's the issue? How expensive is the repair? Under warranty? Sorry for all the questions but I figured it was better to just make one thread then to start a bunch of threads.
