I want to get an electric car and I found a 2012 Nissan Leaf SL for 6.5k with 65k miles on it near me and it has 10 bars of its capacity left. I live in Orlando Florida and I don't have a garage to park it in to avoid the heat. I will be driving around 25 miles every day and plan to use 120v charger. How fast will the battery degrade?
 
Welcome. Very fast, I'm afraid. I'd be surprised if that is the original battery. If it is, the battery management system may have been reset a few weeks ago to raise the capacity bar count back to 12, from which it is returning. If it has a replacement battery, find out when it was replaced. If after 2013, then it has a better battery that may hold up. If after 2014, then it has a somewhat heat-resistant battery that will still degrade. Confused? I'll link my used Leaf buying guide shortly. Oh , and $6500 is too much, by at least $1500.
