Hello everyone, this is my first post and hopefully I'm in the right place:
I am planning on buying my first electric car ever, I am looking at a 2011 leaf (first gen) with 60000 kmts and 9 health bars (70% Soh), the guy is asking NZD 7500 for it.
my daily commute is 30 kmts round and going to town is 45 kmts round. for longer trips I have an old ICE car but planning to use the leaf as main car as I am doing 15000 kmts per year
main reason to go electric is savings:
15000 kmts per year = 1500 litres = +/- 3000 nzd
a friend's leaf here makes 6,5 kmts per kwh here so: 15000 / 6,5 * .3285 (nzd per kilowat here) = 758 nzd
saving more than 2000 nzd per year (paying itself on savings after less than 4 years)
is my math ok or am I missing anything important?
is this car a good deal? how many more kmts should I expect from it before battery is't even good for my daily commute?
thanks in advance
