Finally I have a Leaf that I can Drive into town and back without recharging (50 miles each way). The price of the car was probably less that what I would have had to pay outright for a new 40 KWH battery pack.
Awesome. That is one Leaf sweet spot for sure. After an hour test drive in a Model Y in Nashville a few weeks ago clearly that's now my dream EV.
That being said our 2016 SL with 12K miles on the new 2020 40 kWh battery pack should get us into 2025+ driving a quality low cost EV. By then Tesla should have a one peice casting with FSD which I may require at age 75 when I have to renew my driver's license.
Enjoy your new 40 kWh battery pack range.
