I finally took the plunge and bought a brand new silver 2022 LEAF S after driving my 2012 LEAF for ten years. I so love the newer design and the longer range. My 2012 now gets 40-50 miles per charge. I have loaned it to my son-in-law, who has a 25 mike commute & can charge at work. So it is...

I have a 2012 LEAF with a degraded to 8 bars original battery. Does anyone have any recent info about the cost of a replacement battery at this time? Thanks.

I am the original owner of a 2012, drive all of the time in ECO mode, & my lifetime average at 41,000 miles is 4.6. I will be getting new tires this week and am hoping not to experience too big of a range hit as I am down 3 capacity bars.

Love this photo. Thanks for sharing.

I must say having been in college during the Zero Population movement, I am simply amazed at how many of my friend’s kids are having three and four children. I have to keep my lips firmly pressed together each time I hear of another family addition. I fear I have become an old fogey.

Thank-you for your report. I always enjoy your information & beautiful photos.

2002 Chrysler Town & Country minivan for the few times a year I drive from the Bay Area to LA.

When on the freeway, I keep up with the flow of the traffic. 75%of my driving is on surface streets.

I drive a 2012 LEAF & my lifetime number is 4.6miles/KWh. My total mileage is just over 40,000 miles. The LEAF has been & continues to be the perfect vehicle for this retiree.

Congratulations! I am fascinated.

Lost my third capacity bar on the 6th anniversary of purchasing my 2012 LEAF. (8/2/2012). My LEAF still meets the vast majority of my driving needs. Range is 60-65 miles.

Just a few weeks from six years and surprised to still have 10 capacity bars. Only 37,500 miles but it has been quite hot here in San Jose this July.

I am very disappointed to hear this as I have been planning all along to buy a replacement battery once my 2012 LEAF doesn't meet my driving needs. So far it still meets 95% of my driving needs as a two bar loser. I was hoping to make my LEAF last a good 15 years. That seems to now be doubtful...

My 2012 LEAF has a total of 36,500 miles and a lifetime average of 4.7. I bought it new in August of 2012. It has lost 2 capacity bars and still meets 95% of my driving needs. My 2002 Chrysler Town & Country covers the rest of my driving for trips over 60 miles. Very happy with my LEAF.

I live in San Jose and will be looking forward to your report on the trip/adventure.
