That is probably true, but OP is (sort of) saying that it will not drive 50 miles on a charge now. I don't actually think that is true once he brings the car up to an acceptable condition, but he is not off by much.GerryAZ said:You bought the car new and have almost 60,000 miles now so it has done well up to this point.
My rule of thumb is that a car bought new should last 15 - 20 years and 200k miles with decent maintenance. The 24 kWh LEAFs are not coming anywhere near that longevity goal when 35% of capacity is gone in 7 years.
I have to say though, I find it fascinating that OP is an early adopter, knows so little about EVs and less about LEAFs; and only woke up to the realities of 24 kWh LEAF ownership a month ago when he barely made it to this destination. I suppose he is the epitome of the 'show me the ON button' American consumer. Or his story of owning the LEAF since 2014 when he bought it new is an ... embellishment. A hand-me-down from his parents would explain a lot.
