I often sit in my car listen to music, get some emails done, shop online and what not while my daughter is at soccer practice. In my new Leaf, when sitting in a parking lot with accessories on, am I using the main lithium battery or is there a traditional 12v battery (like an ICE vehicle) that...

That sounds like good advice, Thanks!

Really? What makes the 40 fundamentally different than the (prior) 30 or (newer) 62 versions? I guess I thought the battery container (?) was essentially the same just with more or less batteries inside. From what I’ve read, none have thermal management. Have you heard or read something...

Darn I wish! No, didn't have a lot to spend and really wanted to purchase instead of lease. The 40kWh Leafs now coming of lease were hitting a sweet spot for my commuting needs and budget. Maybe the next one!

I've read it NOW at least twice, maybe three times.... Great write up, thanks!

Lurker... first post. Need advice regarding a 2017 Leaf S 30kw. 26k mi. PERFECT condition (not a single scratch, ding, interior awesome, looks and drives like new). Purchased it at Carmax for $8900. This is my first EV. Drove 20 miles on freeway (65 mph), headlights on, fan and radio on. GoM...
