I am kind of surprised that the remaining Leaf inventory hasn't been snatched up this week. $4 - $10 gas prices are going to be here for a while.

I really can't tell any difference. I think the 22 has an extra airbag, rear door alert, rear parking sensors, 3rd rear headrest but it loses HD radio and the glove box is a little smaller. If you're thinking of upgrading one of your Leafs, I would wait for a $40k Ioniq 5 or EV6 to come out first.DougWantsALeaf said:Chicago inventories actually building a little. Back up to 16 from 10 a few days ago.
Anyone on the board have both a 2019 and a 2022 Leaf Plus? Do you feel the improved safety features work well? Beyond the USB C, any other feature differences worthwhile?
DougWantsALeaf said:The ev6s that have appeared here have been going for over 60K after markup.
Honestly, the only long term concern I have for Leaf is the eventual decline of Chademo. Support is still going up, but it is starting to slow. The lack of thermal mgmt, really hasn't been much of a limiter, even on long trips (>500 miles a day)

I'm not sure about a phase out since EVgo has a partnership with Nissan[1] to install more DCFC stations. I find there are less CHAdeMO than CCS DCFC's but in my area CHAdeMO is still around 100-150 miles apart. It all depends on where you are and where you want to go. Doesn't it help that Tesla can charge at a CHAdeMO DCFC too (with an adapter IIRC)?
I am also hoping for a commercial offering for CCS-to-CHAdeMO. Hopefully something like a lunchbox with CCS on the end with a short CHAdeMO connection coming out to the car.
I've been following Dala's development and I do hope he comes up with something to make CCS to CHAdeMO happen. Risking using something like this on a new Leaf is another discussion.
