We have a 2018 Leaf SL in SoCal and it's been great for us, but we are thinking of getting a 2nd one for our WA home.
The '18 was from Mesa, AZ, so its battery did get a little fried out there (82% SoH when we bought it 3 months ago) but coastal SoCal should be a fair amount easier on the batteries. Still, we might move this one up to WA, depending on what we can find.
I recall reading to avoid the 1st model year of 2011, but what year started seeing the 30kWh battery packs? Some battery packs have been replaced so those could be worthwhile.
I'm looking at a 2012, but it only shows 37 miles as the fully charged range, which seems quite *bad* even for a 24kWh.
Thank you for any suggestions to help narrow the search range.
