I bought my used 2012 Nissan Leaf in 2015 for $6000. I left it sitting uncharged for 8 months while I travelled and lost no discernable range, I have done absolutely no maintenance other than tires and windshield wipers, and I can sell it for $6000.
- yosito 4y agoThat's not bad. And I'm assuming from the fact that it's a Nissan Leaf that you're in the US. I looked into buying a Leaf at one point, but I was afraid that the battery of a used Leaf would give out.
- elif 4y agoThe Leaf doesn't give you a capacity figure but when I bought, it it was down "2 bars" and would estimate about 128km range on a full charge. Today it is still down "2 bars" and gives me 114km range estimate on a full charge. I do drive it like a grandma though (since I'm unemployed and not in a big rush like most drivers).
- rasz 4y agoLow range, uncooled battery unsuitable for fast charging (degrades - Nissans own words), chademo and type 1 charging sockets only? Plenty low priced ones with bad batteries (funnily enough most from Norway), battery replacement more expensive than buying another car ($6K). Whats the SOH on yours?
- elif 4y agoMine doesn't even have a port for fast charging, but I do charge at 50A (about 3 hours) to 100% in a hot climate. The old girl is still giving about 80% of original range. I also don't drive it on the highway unless it is the only option.
