I am considering a 2011 leaf with 37000 miles on it. Using leaf spy I was able to get a battery heath of 83% and an amp hour rating of 55.02. And hx=68.90%.Can someone let me know their opinion as far as what expected range I should get and what about the state of health? And only10 bars left.
Thanks
Jon
 
Lots of info on MNL.com about this, but you need to provide more info like your location, driving style, temps, etc. All of this matters. However, without that, I'll guess take the 75 mi EPA range, multiply by 0.8 for approx battery and you get 60 mi which sound about right. Very cold temps (below 0 F) can drop this in half as can high speed driving. So, only consider a used Leaf if you are willing to accept in-town range from 30-60 mi. If you can accept that, it's a great car. I only wish I was able to buy a 3-yr old Leaf back in 2011. :?
