Cool! Though isn’t this the gen of Leaf that has massive battery range loss issues over time?

Software update and replacement of the actual few  crappy ones seems to have solved it. This is a CPO, and all are covered for the battery for 10 years 100k. Fro. Checking before purchase, there's been very little degradation since purchase a little over 3 years ago

Oh, awesome! I just remembered reading that some first-gen Leafs suffered a lot from it because their battery cooling isn’t as good as the second-gen Leafs and other EVs. :)

Yeah, they are air cooled (it’s the vintage Porsche of EVs!), and there were some batteries replaced for sure. Out of 12, mine i s 11 in terms of the capacity rating. It should have about 100 miles on a charge. My commute is 54. I should be good

Im going to be moving in the next year and will hopefully be much closer to work. I am keeping an eye on the market for these as a commuter car. First gen V olts too.

Second gen volt is equivalent in price. I love the idea of it, but I fit  poorly. Low roofline forced me to recline, and I'd be on my kid's lap.
