Hey everyone!
For the past 5 months, I have been eyeing on purchasing a used Nissan Leaf. I've done months worth of research but would love firsthand insight on people who own the car. I am currently a college student looking to replace my dying 2003 Toyota Corolla. My daily commute to school is a 40-42 miles round trip, 32 of those miles being on the freeway. I have my eyes set on a 2012 Nissan LEAF SL with 36k miles for 10k (going to check the battery bars when I look at it from the Dealer). From what I've heard, the 2011-2012 LEAFs have a bigger problem with battery degradation, but I was thinking of exhausting it until 8 bars and replacing it with the Lizard Battery under warranty. I also live in Houston, Texas, where I hear the battery depletion happens at a much faster rate.
So, the question I have at the moment is...
On 9-10 bars of battery capacity, would my 40-42 mile round trip to school still work?
