So in my area used 2014 Nissan Leafs are selling for under 8k. Combine that with cheap insurance (I would get liability only) and the gas savings this strikes me as a very cheap commuting option). I would be happy if I used this car for only my 21 mile (one way) commute, I can re-charge at work, so no real problems with range. The only question is how long will my 8k investment last, until the battery needs replacing and other major problems? I also want to know what to look for in terms of the car itself...so here are my questions:
Does battery wear depend on times charged or mileage or just age?
Have people who owned a Leaf since the beginning experienced other major problems with the car?
Is there any data about how long the battery is expected to last? (I know the warranty, but I assume it will last beyond the warranty)?
Has the battery replacement gotten cheaper over time or pretty much stayed the same?
