I seem to recall a new 24 KWh pack had a capacity of 66 AHr, is it safe to assume the 30 KWh pack has an 88 AHr capacity? I looked around and didn't see a quick answer on this. I just want a baseline for my new 2017 to keep track of degradation over the next 3 years.

Here is my lease deal on 1/31/17 in the San Diego area: 2017 Leaf S30 + Quick Charge + floor mats + splash guards, Gun Metallic MSRP: $33,705 Agreed upon value: $28,075 ($5630 off MSRP) Cap cost reduction: $12,915.86 Cap cost, adjusted: $15,754.14 Residual: $9100.35 Rebates: $14,500 (includes...

Just thought I'd follow up and say I ended up with a 2017 S30 with quick charge, floor mats and splash guards for $2500 down and $199/mo (total, including tax, title and license). I did like the Bolt but for literally 1/2 the price, I think the Leaf is the better decision (assuming you don't...

The safety features I was referring to that are available on the Bolt but not the Leaf: Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Forward Collision Alert Following Distance Indicator Front Pedestrian Braking IntelliBeam® headlamps Teen Driver LED Daytime...

Great advice, thanks! I have seen the shenanigans GM is playing with the residual and cap cost reduction on the Bolt, very disappointing. The Leaf will definitely be the more economical choice and based on degradation of my current Leaf, there will still be plenty of range left for my daughter...

I have a 2013 Leaf SV (+quick charge/HID and Bose) that I leased on 2/2/14 here in San Diego. It was a standard 3 year and 36,000 mile lease with $2500 down (with a $2500 rebate from CA, so effective $0 down) and $265/mo. My round trip commute is 42.7 miles at an average speed of 25 mph (gotta...
