Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum ( and to the world of Evs). Recently, I can't help it but to be excited about the prices of used Nissan Leafs. In my area 2013 models are going for roughly 12, 000 USD. I have been thinking about buying one to keep since I live in a big city and work in a large institution that offers 220v charging ports. However, the price drop is somewhat concerning. As of now, buying a 2011 model does not make much sense since the 2013 offers superior charging technology particularly the SL model. Correct me if I am wrong, but in a few years the 2011 model will be somewhat obsolete and very hard to sell. I wonder if that will also be the case with the 2013 model. Do you think charging technologies will advance at a rate that in 5-7 years from now the 440 V port will be replaced by a much faster technology, and thus drastically decreasing the value of the car?
