I'll have to turn in my 2018 Leaf SL next year. I may try for a lease extension to let me drive her through the Summer, but by next Fall we'll be down to one car. My health issues may well have ended my driving career by then, but if not I may not be happy without my own car, or at least access to a car when I need one. We will also lack a cargo hauler, having traded in the PIP. What I'd like to be able to find, as a second, mostly local-use vehicle, is something that:
* Costs less than $10k used. If that is with minor body damage or a degraded battery, that's ok. The range need only be 35 miles with heat.
* Is a full EV, NOT a PHEV. We are heartily sick of ICEs. No more PIPs!
* Has a large cargo area, or at least an adequate one, with little or no liftover lip in the back.
My current think is a used iMiev, but I don't know if it would meet the cargo area criterion. Oh, how I long for a Leaf wagon or CUV!
