So to make things clear, I would not advise buying one of these cars earlier than about 2014 due to battery age; additionally even if the vehicle is low KMs I would recommend doing a full check of the battery health with LeafSpy and a bluetooth OBD II reader before considering purchase.


It's too bad range is such a limiting factor, because aside from that, this is an excellent vehicle. And if you fit the criteria (short/routine commute, mostly drive around home, not in a crazy climate, accessible 120v plug in at home for charging) then an older Leaf may compliment your existing gas vehicle to help you reduce emissions. Because in the end, it's not about being perfectly green, but doing the best we can. And in many places in the states, these things are extremely affordable on the 2nd hand market compared to newer EVs.


Plus it also helps that in my area, this vehicle will almost entirely pay in 6 years of ownership versus the cost of fuel.
