Hello,
I just bought me a 2012 Nissan Leaf on Saturday 11/9/24, it's my first BEV, it has 46,430 miles, the battery was replaced 3 years ago and currently it's got 10 bars of life.

Hello,

What's your thoughts about owning the Nissan Leaf thus far?

I've had mine for about two weeks and due to the limited range (theoretically up to ~230KM), I think it's great for those that use their car for work in a particular city or otherwise only do driving in a particularly city; I wouldn't recommend it for anybody regularly doing intercity or interstate travel... But as primarily use the car for work in a particular city, this is perfect me and I otherwise love my Leaf.

I do wish Nissan would release a model that competed directly with the Tesla Model 3 though, in terms of range and automation functionality, because although I'm not normally a fan of "hatchbacks", the Leaf has grown on me... And I would buy a new Nissan Leaf if this were the case (I'm hoping to buy a new-new car in the next 12-24 months), but my understanding is that Nissan are discontinuing the Leaf completely in a year or two.
