EV Zero  Today I purchased a used 2013 Nissan Leaf!    The original car had a 24Kw battery, but I was able to get a upgraded 30kw battery from a 2016 Nissan Leaf - from EV Rides (used, but still has over 76% SOH (State of Health), which will have almost 100 miles range on a fully charge battery.  My work commute is about 25 miles round trip, so this should work fine as a 'second' car. 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. rem...

Buying a Used Leaf

-
 This is a good article to explain the things to look for when buying a used Nissan Leaf: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=26662 8. Leaf batteries degrade over time - some of them quickly! Any necessary range calculation must include loss of battery capacity over time. This ranges from 'rapid and substantial' for the 24kwh Canary pack, to 'Generally reasonable in moderate climates' for the 4/2013 through 2014 Wolf pack' and 'Very reasonable in moderate and warm (but NOT Hot) climates' for the 2015 Lizard pack. The 2016-2017 packs are discussed above, while the 2018 40kwh pack is, at this early juncture, showing more degradation than either the Wolf or Lizard packs, unfortunately. Depending on your local climate, and on which pack it has, factor in degradation ranging from a best case of about 3% per year, to about 15% for the more fragile packs or a Hot climate. What about a Canary pack in a HOT climate like Arizona? Please don't...
