New 2020 Leaf SV 40kw with Technology & All-Weather Packages
This would be my first EV after many years of driving minivans. I will keep the 2018 Odyssey for the 750 mile trips to visit grand kids.
Middle Tennessee weather is fairly mild, compared to other places I have lived (Buffalo & Dallas).
My wife & and I would use the Leaf for local errands, usually around 20 miles round trip with lots of small hills. Average one trip per day.
We did a test drive of 2021 and really liked the ease of entry and exit for our older bodies. We don't really need another vehicle, but want the EV experience.
Charging would be at home where electric is $0.084 per KWH.
Autotrader shows a few 2020 new leftovers in a 200 mile radius that look like a good value for me. We would qualify for the full $7500 rebate.
Are there any significant drawbacks to a new 2020 leftover in my situation? Other advice and suggestions welcome.
