I read several articles about how cheap EVs were. Jalopnik was saying the Fiat 500e was going for low $4k at auction. It got me thinking now is the time to return to the EV market (embarrassingly, I owned a Zap!...less so, I also owned a Brammo MC). Well those days are gone! Auction prices on...

This seems like reason TO buy a BEV not why not to buy one.

Well, after agreeing to all the terms, it was sold out from under me. So there's that. :( I have a sneaking suspicion that EV sales are VERY seasonal, hence the significant price rise in the last 6 months. Back to looking mode. :D

I'm sort of leaning that direction because there's the most hive experience with the Ecopia if nothing else. It's funny, there's a lot of Ecopia bashing, followed by I really hate INSERT BRAND HERE that I bought to replace it. Anyone have experience with Sumitomo in that size? They are widely...

First off, yes I did search the archives. There is little to no consensus, plus tire models change frequently. If you must though, flame on. I can take it. :lol: I'll be needing 17 inchers soon. I live in an area where rain is an issue. We have an ICE car with dedicated snows, so best winter...

It's a 2014 SL with Premium package, original owner, 12 bars, 43000 miles, 30 mile or so daily commuter, from a moderate climate, 15 DCQCs. We agreed to $10k and he's including an unopened Juicebox 40 Pro. So, effectively, I'm paying $9400. For that configuration, assuming of course no reset, it...

The car is too far from me to Leaf Spy. I trust the owner. He has another EV, a solar array, and is enjoying the back and forth conversations about pack health. He in no way impresses me as a scammer. He's the original owner. The car has been driven on an ideal route and charged properly at...

Is the above a safe assumption? Maybe, more importantly, a drive to 75% SOC from full and multiplying by 4 should give a pretty accurate estimate of true range shouldn't it?

Assuming it hasn't been reset, the bar would drop once the SoH drops below 85% wouldn't it?

Sweet! Thanks! :)

I guess Redding is in Nor Cal and it gets hot as the blazes. Basically it's been in a climate VERY similar to Portland Oregon which, from what I gather, is pretty Leaf friendly weather.

It lives in a town with a climate whose average high in the hottest month is 82 and commuted to a close by town where the average high in the hottest month is also 82. Certainly both get above 100, but rarely. San Luis Obispo was 108 few days ago!!! :shock: Neither is super cold in the winter...

Nor Cal born and raised by report. The Carfax will verify.

I'll get the full carfax tonight along with the Nissan records. By resided, do you mean where it lived it's life or are you more concerned about where it originated? Tell me more please. :)

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a '14 SL with the Premium Package. It's a one owner with 43,000 miles and 12 bars, in a color I can tolerate (anything but Ocean Blue...sorry alozzy :D ). It has been used as a daily 35 mile(ish) round trip commuter, driven by a female professional, in a...
