^^ Agree. Reset cannot be excluded but it seems very unlikely.
$11.5 is outrageous though. This is a 60-70 mile range car in good weather and a 40 mile range car in winter. Maybe $7k
The actual range of a good 11 bar Leaf with heat pump is about 60-65 miles in optimal conditions, and maybe 35-40 miles in frigid weather. If you drive fast as a rule, subtract 25% from those.But no, it charged from 32% to 82% in 11.5 hours on my 120V outlet and is guessing 68 miles - so that is perfectly acceptable for our use.
You'll be using mainly resistance heat in the morning, and mainly heat pump heat in the afternoon, with some resistance as well. It looks to me like you're ok for now, but after losing just one more bar it will get tight. I suggest you look for a good 12 bar Leaf, with heat pump. You can get better bargains by looking at SVs, as SLs tend to get a price bump that isn't proportionate to any added utility. You can get an SV with Premium Package that will have pretty much the same options as the SL, except no leather. Also note that in 2013 especially, you can find SLs with no Premium, and not even a backup camera. Those are to avoided. You want at least an SV with backup camera.So, our winters usually are in the 20F range in the mornings and 30s in the afternoons. Doesn’t usually get much colder than that. Think I’ll be good or is there a lot more energy usage in my future?

Thoughts?
Anyway, from my understanding a 240V 30A outlet would allow me to pre-heat the cabin and not use any battery.
Which price? Do you think 9K is too high?
