Many people held back on buying electric cars because they wonder how long the battery lasts.
Here's a quick reminder to those who are looking for a Nissan Leaf.
I have owned both Japan Leafs before 2013 and now own the new Euro-Leaf.
The advantage of the new generation is not a lot of a lot of small details and a slight change in the battery. Do not get technical here but my Leaf has been driven over 190,000 km and lost its first capacity bar after 160,000 km.
It still rolls 100km at 90km / h on the highway with heat on. If I had to choose between a new electric leaf or save 10 000€ on a slightly older model, the 24 kW version, it does not matter. Most people who have a Leaf that have been over 100,000 km only use it to and from work. So it usually appears like a whole new car objection.
One thing many fears are how to charge it and whether to set 80% or 100%.
My suggestion is just ending thinking about it. The battery lasts almost 70% after 10 years. Leaf 191 000km is fully charged 2 times to 100% a day and lacks only 15% capacity after 4 years of 90 km to work, then it was charged and driven 90 km home.
Japan The leaf has all the bars and has gone about 44000 and has over 300 fast charges.
And the battery is as good as new.
Choose electric car and support the local community and not least your wallet.
