Agreed. And why I would say cross any 2011/2012 Leaf off your used purchase list unless the battery has already been replaced with a new pack with more recent battery chemistry, i.e. a pack made after 4/13.

Yes, it does and the number doesn't make sense. The 2010-2015 Volt has a 16 kwh battery pack and the 2016-present Volt has an 18.4 kwh battery pack.bocarat said:Changing tack slightly, I started looking at the Volt. Similar ages and mileage. Looked like a much better deal, ~45 miles on a charge, then engine takes over.....perfect. A Leaf with much better range! Prius+!!
And then I found out it takes 23kwh to charge it. Even in Florida with 10c/kwh, that's a gallon of gas at today's prices. So 45 miles/gallon....worse than a Prius if you have to pay to charge it - which I will as I don't commute. Agreed, once gas gets up to $3/gallon things will more than even out, but even so that was a surprise.

bocarat said:@Dooglas, is that right though, a 16kwh battery pack takes 16kwh to charge it? What about losses?
I went to see the local 2013. How do I post images here from Leaf Spy - do I have to have them hosted somewhere?
