Hi,
I am bracing for a long commute about 60 Miles per day (round trip) on I680 between San Jose and Pleasanton and I am wondering if I should buy used 2011 leaf so I can use the carpool lane. I680 has heavy traffic with over 40mins of stop and go traffic. How does a leaf perform in stop and go traffic in terms of power consumption?
Leases seem expensive at this point, but I can probably get a used 2011 leaf between 13K-15K. Do you think I should get it? How much battery capacity do these cars loose in 3 years? If I want to keep it for another 3 years would they hold enough charge to do a 60M trip?
If I do decide to go for a leaf, what kind of questions should I ask? How do I know a well kept car?
Thanks in advance.
