New car

[Bouldergramp]

My son remodeled his house last year and I told him to have a 220V outlet installed in his garage but he forgot. Today he is at Boulder Nissan takinng advantage of a great deal:

I'm guessing this was a '25 S trim (40 kWh) and a (60 kWh) SV Plus?

And, I'm guessing there's a large Colorado-only incentive in there, right?

Wow that looks like a dream-deal with my European (Swedish) eyes! Incredibly cheap!

In September we got our first EV - a 2022 40kWh N-Connecta with 16 500 miles (2 700 Swedish "mil") in brilliant condition. Deal included brand new good brand winter tires on proper wheels for a total of approx. $18 300 (SEK 200 000) - winter tires is something that we unfortunately need up here and good ones costs a fair penny.

For here (Sweden), this was a great deal in my understanding. Similar cars now cost between SEK 215k-240K, but damn, nowhere close to the amazing prices you get! No rebates or subsidies

Petrol/Diesel and also electricity is a bit pricier here. But pure "driving costs" with an EV compared to a petrol car is about 1/4 which quickly adds up in terms of savings.

Already done a few longer road trips, such as 310-325 miles one-way, 650 miles over two days - no problems. Range goes down slightly when it gets sub-zero C, but not too much to cause any real issues.

Family loves our Leafy and don't understand why we waited soo long and were so apprehensive of getting one. Garage is kitted out with L2 (?) charger which adds about 10% per hour, more then enough. Don't even use a full battery during a normal week.

Sorry for the "rambling" - see know that I strayed quite off-topic - sorry about that!

Best to you all!

3rd generation here, grandmother's family from Katrineholm area and grandfathers Oslo area. Visited both countries in late 80s and late 90s to see relatives and had a very nice time, long before EVs became popular and Sabb and Volvos seemed to be the choice in Sverige. I've had several Volvos in the past and even a Sabb Sonett, none of which I have anymore.
My first Leaf was a '13S purchased new followed by a '12SL purchased used for a very good price. Currently don't have any Leafs but do have a nice Toyota Rav4 Prime PHEV which we get a decent 50 miles summer EV range and 40 winter, actually not that much less than our Leafs but then after the electric has been used up it gets close to 40mpg gas and we can get more than 500 more miles on a full tank, so never any range anxiety, so that's very nice.

My son doesn't have to borrow our 2009 Honda Odyssey anymore.

Looks to me that he paid around $17,000 with some cash down and some financed. A very sweet deal. I paid around $18,000 in 2016 after federal tax incentive. But that was a far inferior 2016 with a 30kwh battery that crapped out. I was in the lucky group that got a 40kwh replacement on Nissan's dime, so still no complaints.

Martin, Good to hear you are happy with the Leaf . One question I have: On longer trips do you use high voltage chargers (400 volts DC) or what we call level 2 charges (220 volt AC)? I'm curious because I was told that the 400 volt fast charges are detrimental to the battery.

That's a sweet deal!
