Which is fine but it doesn't change the fact that: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202401185680084 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20240118568

Which is fine but it doesn't change the fact that: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202401185680084 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202401185680084 exists. That's a clean condition 12 year old, 2 owner car with only 37k miles on the clock. Listed for only £3500. The downside is it has a 100% to 0% range of 50 miles and in real world usage more like 35-ish in good weather. A quick google suggests 15 mile range is not unrealistic in cold weather with heater turned OFF. What use is that car to the general public? This isn't a fast charging car, after you do your grocery shop you need to plug that back in for 10+ hours.

Nissan are notorious for bad battery management. As I already said, you will find an abundance of Leafs and Zoes on autotrader with poor ranges. But, did they have poor ranges to begin with? The model you picked has a 24kWh battery which is pretty small. Let’s look at what it was originally: https://ev-database.org/uk/car/1019/Nissan-Leaf-24-kWh https://ev-database.org/uk/car/1019/Nissan-Leaf-24-kWh > Real Range: between 55 - 125 mi Let’s call that 90. So not great to begin with. I would never have bought a Zoe or Leaf and I still wouldn’t. But my coworker had one exactly like this as a runaround. He recently traded it in… for another leaf. So clearly ok for some people.

With that capacity it will charge in less than 2 hours. It plenty enough for a secondary runaround car. Can save you tons of money depending your pattern of use.

  8h on 7kw wall box (car limited to using up to 3.3kw), 11h on 3 pin uk plug. There is a chademo fast charger socket on some models but not clear if this is present on these 24kwh models?

    Ok 3.3kw is wild. I assumed OP was claiming some wild battery degradation. 50% is not uncommon on these early leafs so at 12 kWh it would take 4 hrs.
