Hi everyone! I've been wanting to own an EV for a while, so I finally decided to buy a used one to offset ~90% of my local trips that I used to take with my Toyota Sienna. Haven't used a drop of gas in a week now! But then I bought a Leaf spy and found some less than great news: SOH is at 63%, and Hx is at 31%! I've been reading around and it seems those are some pretty bad numbers. The overall cell balance seems generally okay, which is promising, but I'm just hoping I can at least get a couple years out of it. I only need about 20 mi / day tops, so I'm doing alright so far. Takeaway: if you're shopping used, get a Leaf spy **before** you buy and insist on checking the battery health.
