We purchased a used 2011 Leaf with @27,000 miles on it and picked it up ysterday. I've looked over the forum but don't see my questions completely answered.
1). This morning fully charged, says the range is 47 miles. It's about 30 degrees here (CT). Looks the car is "down" 2 bars. It had 1 owner so I'm thinking s/he didn't drive it much. Comments?
2). How much warranty would be left on the battery at this point?
3). Looks like the best way to take care of the remaining battery is to not "top off" if half or less has been used. And not to let it sit fully charged for days without driving it. Is that right? Any other suggestion?
I can see now that I should have done more research. I do like the way the car runs/handles, and my commute is 15 miles one way, so I'd hoped to use this car for driving to work. Worst case would be drive it 5 miles one way to the train instead of car the whole way.
Thanks in advance and apologies if these questions are addressed elsewhere on here.
