Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

    I don’t want to tarnish your experience, but 30% degredation in 9 years is not good or normal across all EVs. Especially as you seem to be doing very little high power charging. 10-15% maybe, not 30%.

    Nissan Leafs do seem to be the most extreme for degredation.

      Can confirm. My dad’s went from 115 or whatever the rated mileage was to 60-70 miles within 2 years. It would struggle to go 40 miles if the heater was on.

      I don’t know if they make those batteries out of packing peanuts or what, but it killed any possibility of him owning an EV for a long time.

        Same here, it soured me on evs. I’ll never buy a leaf again. I had problem after problem with that pos. “But they require no maintenance”. Yeah right…
