LOL. You do like flaunting your ignorance. Look at the "delivery date" of our first Leafs.edatoakrun said:evnow, DaveinOlyWA, OrientExpress, SageBrush:
Not only are all your recent comments off-topic, you are bickering over long-term battery degradation of Gen one LEAFs, which it appears none of you (not having owned and driven a single LEAF since the introduction) are really informed to discuss, based on your own experience.
I suppose that's why the Gen one LEAF is the worlds best-selling BEV...?
Well, that is in spite of the poor battery of Leafs - not because of that. Its like how many cars/trucks GM sells, in spite of mediocre quality.
At least in the US, Leafs are selling for exactly the same reason GM/Ford sell cars. Leases are cheap. Infact you can go back and look at Leaf sales figures when the leases aren't highly subsidized.
I expect the Gen two LEAF to be the world's best-selling BEV, in 2018.
We'll come back to this at the end of 2018

Horrible is an extreme term - but we've to accept Nissan's battery degradation didn't do EVs any favor. I look forward to tell-all books about how the Leaf 1 battery was accepted to be produced. For sure Nissan knew they will degrade in hot climate - yet Arizona was one of the first 5 states they were sold in. Mind boggling.
