Hi there,
This is my first post to the forum, I'm hoping to receive some advice from leaf owners. I have always been interested in electric cars and now I have the ability to buy an used Leaf. However, I am worried about the range of a used Leaf. My daily commute is about 56 miles round trip, 50 of those miles are on the highway with some hills, at about 60mph, I drive about 5 miles total through my small town . At my place of work, there is no designated charging location but I might be able to find a place to plug in to. My question is, do you think that a Leaf would be able to fulfill my daily driving needs? What about battery degradation and how will that effect me as time goes on?
Some information on the Leaf I was looking at buying.
2013 Nissan Leaf SV- $12,995 with 26,058 miles. Driving in the Northwest. I've emailed the dealer, they say that the battery is still at 100% capacity, although I suspect that they don't know what they're talking about.
