Nope, they may far longer than that when temperature-controlled (so, every car but two years of Leaf cars in Arizona). The only issue is new cars are so much better than earlier ones. They continue to work just fine.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThey will still function if they have been under reasonable temperature control, but they will still undoubtedly lose capacity and therefore range. I have a 25mi commute each way and a 2012 Leaf bought today without a battery replacement seems like a pretty big gamble to me. Add to that that I live where winter weather is unkind and I am skeptical of how well old batteries would perform. From my perspective, battery technology still hasn't proven itself in this regard.
