Hi all! I am new to the forum and new to EVs - I have gained a lot of knowledge in reading this forum and am currently trying to decide between two used Leafs. This would be our families first EV, and would be our “second/commuter vehicle. We live in Maine, have good access to charging at both work and the possibility of fairly easily installing an L2 charger at our home. The commute this car would do daily is 13 miles each way, about 45-60 mph average speed, hilly, but not steep.
We are deciding between a 5/2013 SL model with 52k miles on it and a 12 bar reading and a 2014 SV with 32k miles and a 12 bar reading. After reading the forums I understand that I probably need to get an SOH reading when I test drive these cars. I realize that given the age of the vehicles I likely will not meet the conditions for the replacement battery warranty, but given our daily use pattern I doubt that matters, but maybe I am wrong? Both vehicles were owned and operated in New England exclusively. The 2014 SV model is Nissan certified, the other is being sold from a Toyota dealership.
I have been amazed at the knowledge base on this forum and would appreciate any advice on this choice!
Thanks!
