On these older leaf’s, you can use ‘leaf spy’ to check the condition of the individual cells in the battery pack. It’s not unknown for 1 or 2 cells to fail and substantially reduce the overall range. Specialist independent ev garages in Europe drop the battery pack, find the defective cell(s) and replace improving the range. You can also swap in a complete newer (used) battery pack from one of the newer leaf’s with the larger capacity battery packs. This latter option is now quite popular in Europe & the UK.

Most banks wouldn’t loan on a car that lost 80% of its value in 12 months. Even now I think the fastest depreciating ev is the leaf. Half the range of a model 3 LR, slower charging and before the crazy pricing jumps of new cars it wasn’t too much less.

Top tips for you from a 2014 Leaf owner. Get leafspy, clean/lube the brakes, the rear drums in particular as noise from brakes is much more noticeable. Guessing a replacement 40kWh pack is going in. I still get 65-80 mile in mine but the 2014> get a slightly better battery. The leaf is a fantastic run around car as long as your not doing long trips.

I got a 2020 Leaf last year after a wind storm knocked a branch onto the roof of my beloved Honda Fit ('07 manual transmission). I've never been happier with a car. It's an absolute dream to drive and the convenience of charging it at home (I had a 240V socket installed) while gas prices creep up cannot be overstated.

My current EV is a LEAF (more recent than the one in the video, with more range). I've had several EVs before, it's a long story, but the one thing I've learned is that getting one with a bigger battery allows to avoid the full charges and deep discharges that reduce battery capacity over time.

First and last time I drove a Leaf it almost killed me and my cousin. I was driving on some quite narrow roads in Norway going to drop off my cousin at the train station. Driving like I have done probably hundreds of times before. A car is coming towards us in the opposite lane, we both move over to our far right of the road, it is narrow but you can fit a bus and a car on the road if you're careful. Anyway I get over to the right and then the car "bongs" at me and turns the steering wheel, turning me right into the oncoming car, we were both going about 35mph. The cruise control or lane keeping assist or the self steering stepped in, even though it was turned off cause I don't like having it on, it stepped in cause I got too close to the edge of the road and then took over and steered me right into oncoming traffic.

Any more than are the more than 3000 gas car fires (USA} a blanket condemnation of gas cars.

Do you think that's true or did the dealership say anything about that?)

One of the reasons the Leaf batteries die earlier than others is because Nissan refused to include active cooling of the battery while charging. It would be great if there's an aftermarket kit to actively cool the battery. Heat is the enemy of battery life.
