Where did they import the Leaf to? -LeafNewb

Thanks for the info. Yes it sounds like a similar car, and .5 AHr/month once again jives with the 50/50 shot everyone's giving it. I'm just going to look around for a better candidate as I don't have the availability to really run down the battery. Just want to add, thanks to everyone who...

I think you're right on the 2013/2014, but I need the 2012 or older since they are much closer to the European version. ( http://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=21649 ) If I bought a newer one I would have to add turn signal repeaters, etc. in order to register it over here. I found the giant...

Yeah, you appear to be right on the threshold according to my research. It looks like you dropped about as far as I would need to go in about 6.5 months. What are your driving habits like? (I realize it's hotter in NV than FL.) -LeafNewb

Closest is about 40 miles away. :( Availability is much better here in Europe, but I expect to charge at home all the time. -LeafNewb

Profile updated. Unfortunately, DC fast charging is not an option. Even the local Nissan dealer only has j1772. I was planning to get my EVSE upgraded. I could do level 2 charging in the Garage, but it might be better to do level 1 charging outside in the sun when it gets hot. Thanks for...

After I relocate the car, my drive to work is 12.5 miles with a change in elevation of ~250 feet, so I'll have at least 25 miles of driving each day and have to climb 250 feet after not charging all day. It gets cold there in the winter, occasionally down to 20 degrees, but usually it stays...

If I really wanted to kill the battery, would it be better (i.e. worse for the battery) to charge to 100% every chance I get, or run it down very low between charges? Other battery killing activities seem to be having a lead foot, and heating up the car. I can park in direct sunlight, and the...

How else would you run down the battery capacity? -LeafNewb

The price is right, the mileage is low, (under 20K) and the 2012 is very desirable for me as I plan to export (after the warranty) to a country that requires things like side marker lights. I would pay a bit more for a 2012 that already had a battery change, but I haven't found any. I'm also...

The seller is hybrid/EV dealer, he doesn't have time to drive all the cars around and run down their batteries. This is a 1 owner off-lease Georgia car. These are flooding the market right now due to the end of Georgia state subsidies. -LeafNewb

Based on the data gathered in this chart ( http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/Real_World_Battery_Capacity_Loss ) the 4th bar usually goes when there is around 42-43AHr of capacity remaining. The SOH varies more widely though. So I think a good estimate of the question is can I loose 5AHr of...

You're totally correct, I meant to write 9 bars left. I corrected the post above. (I'm still a newb with all this and misremembered the number threshold) -LeafNewb

I've never owned an EV, and am looking for some advice from seasoned Leaf owners. I'm interested in a 2012 that seems to be a perfect fit for me, except that it has 9 bars of capacity left. The seller says that I shouldn't worry because I can get it replaced as soon as it drops to 8 bars. I...
