Hi all,
Newbie from Pacific Northwest here - I never lease a vehicle but based on special rates provided by my local Nissan dealer and no gas expense per month, I opted for leasing 2015 Nissan Leaf S (base model with quick charger option). The car this Leaf replaced used to cost me about $120 per month in gas alone; never mind scheduled maintenance, etc. I got the Leaf for $199 per month. The residual value is quite reasonable.
I am considering buying the car in Apr 2018 instead of lease return. I charge my Leaf every night with trickle charge/110V home outlet. The battery when fully charged after two and half years, still gets ~104 miles range.
Now that I have given some background - considering the vast experience of owners on this forum, my question is if I buy this 2015 Leaf that has about ~26000 miles on it and my average of ~12000 miles per year drive, how long should I expect the current battery to last before I need to purchase a new battery?
In case if I need to put this question somewhere else on this forum, please do point me in that direction.
Thanks,
