Hi all,
The title says it all, I've been toying around with the idea of finding a used Leaf as they seem super cheap. I have read quite a bit of information on this site but i have some specific questions that I was hoping to receive some opinions:
I went to a Nissan dealer and boy do they know squat about this car...
1. Why would anyone buy a "charging station" vs the "EVSEUpgrade" and have my electrician run a plug in garage(service panel on outside of garage, home built in 2012 w solar panels)
2. Does CPO help any?
3. I want the cloud for HOV lane access as I have a 62 mile round trip commute, 50 miles would be highway both ways during rush hour. I have a Tacoma as well and would plan to keep it for longer distances
4. I have my eye on a 2013 S for $11k OTD(dealer CPO, 6.6 charger), build date of 12/13, sold in AZ 1/14 as a lease w 28k miles currently: in AZ climate with my usage how long should the battery last? How long should I be able to do my commute on a single nightly charge with "EVSEUpgrade" charging at least five nights a week. I would expect 15-20k miles per year. I don't know the current amount of bars on the battery.
5. I understand that the battery has warranty for 5 years or 60k miles from in service if it falls to 8 bars, but is there ever a point within the 100k mile warranty that it can be replaced for free by Nissan; say it gets to 6 bars or something crazy like that.
Is anyone on this board local to the Phoenix area that I might be able to speak with?
Thank you,
Sean
