Congrats! just wondering, do you find yourself coming anywhere near 15,000 miles/year with any of your Leafs? Now maybe it's easier with a larger capacity Leaf but I just couldn't imagine getting anywhere near that with either of our 24kwh Leafs, it would have to be actively charging anytime we weren't driving it and even then with our '12SL that only has a 3.6kw/h charger I don't think we could make 15k/year miles. We probably drive less than most but average ~6k/yr on our Leafs, now if we could use them cross-country on our 1000 mile trips or even cross-town 100-mile trips we'd be putting on more miles but for now we have to use our older Prius for those kinds of trips.mihird said:We just took possession of a 2021 Nissan Leaf SV Plus with the larger 62Kwh battery. We are loving it! We returned the 2018 40Kwh SV which was up on its lease..
The 200+ mile range makes it a decent day tripper in a 400 mile radius....certainly expands the day tripping horizon from the smaller 40/30/24Kwh batteries...
This is our 4th Nissan Leaf in the family. We started leasing from 2013 model (24Kwh), then had a 2016 (30Kwh), then a 2018 (40Kwh) and now a 2021 (62Kwh)...our local dealership has been leasing us the SV models at the same price point from 2013, so when they offer to simply swap out the lease end with a new larger battery, the offer is irresistible..each time...
The leases have averaged us about $350/month for 15,000 miles/year with $0 down, either through state subsidies, or direct $0 down offer from dealer...
Makes me a loyal Nissan customer, I guess
One more thing, most of the leases I see are for 10k maybe 12k miles/year even though I know the average driver is now doing closer to 15k/yr, do you know if your lease would have been much less if it were say 12k miles or even 10k miles/year?
