The models years 2013-2015 did not have much difference, so getting a 2013 is a good choice to save a bit of money.  I'm excited to learn all about the Nissan Leaf and EV driving! Leaf Spy: Of course one of the first things is to get a Bluetooth ODB2 plug to connect the 'LeafSpy' phone app.  This will help track the battery life and usage of the power during driving. http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/wiki/leaf-spy-pro/ https://flipthefleet.org/resources/nissan-owners-how-to-scan-your-battery/       Battery amp hours (AHr) Battery State of Health i.e. remaining Battery capacity when
