Used 2014 Nissan LEAF Consumer Reviews
An affordable, fun ride for entry level EVers, BUT
I bought mine new in 2013. Only purchased it with level 2 (220V) charge capability. Started off with an 85 mile range, provided only some was freeway, without using AC or defrost/heat. In the first 10 years, I lost 22% of battery capacity, because Nissan chose not to manage temperature of the pack. (This despite charging to 80% most of the time, with a 100% charge once per month to treat the pack "gently"). In my case, I took it to a mechanic who was able to replace the 10 year old 26kWh pack with a 62 kWh pack from a crashed LEAF. That's great, but without that thermal management, the new battery lost range too. And by this time, the Chevy Bolt was available and it had Level 3 (440V, CCS1) charging. And I have to label Nissan greedy by them not making battery upgrading available, and forcing me to locate a mechanic and tow the car 245 miles to get the work done. (see above). I chose the mid-grade trim. That means the gray seats and seat belt need to constantly be cleaned with Woolite upholstery cleaner. The steering wheel is made of a substance that is said to compost well, which is a nice idea, but the paint doesn't adhere to it well. Pros: Super stereo and fun to drive. Once you drive it, you may switch to a different EV, but you'll never go back to a gas-burner.
