I traded in my 2017 Leaf on a 2022 S+ in March, which I was lucky to get. I do like the Leaf and its new safety features and especially the longer range. My 2017 had just lost one bar one when I traded it in. The one thing that I really dislike about the Leaf is its battery degradation. I don't think that the lack of cooling is that big a problem for me, but the battery deteriorates even when not driving it or charging it in cool weather. Mine started out at 99.61% SOH and is now down to 97.39% in just over 3 months. By the way, the car was built in February of 2022. It is my impression the the battery in the Bolt is much better than the Leaf's in terms of battery degradation.
Since I don't plan on using the car for many long trips, as long as the SOH stays above 60%, the range will be fine for us.
