So sad that our 2011 LEAF was in an accident and was salvaged We miss it and EV driving.
Had hoped to keep it for at least another 5 yrs., so was thinking our Tesla 3 would arrive before we'd need another EV. Guessing we're in the middle of the reservation line so I don't have any idea when it'd be our turn to get one. A 2nd Gen LEAF wasn't out of the running either.
Since our 2011 LEAF was pretty much trouble-free, I haven't followed the EV forums closely like in the beginning years. Read a few things when considering a used LEAF, used RAV4 EV, Volt and Bolt.
Not sure which way to go...
We used the 2011 LEAF as our daily workhorse: city driving for commuting, shopping, errands, family/friends carpooling, but only had a tad under 40,000 miles in 5 1/2yrs, w/11 bars remaining. Would have loved to drive it more on trips if the range & charging in the wild was more reliable. Our Blink EVSE has been trouble-free and is still functioning.
Should we use the salvaged $ to get a used LEAF? If so, which model & year worthwhile? Should we get another brand EV? Should we get another Prius/hybrid/wagon? (We transport a wheelchair regularly and also adopted a large dog.)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
