Everything I want and more for 90% of my driving

This is my second Leaf. My first was totaled when rear ended. Both were bought used from an EV specialist outside Atlanta. First was ‘13 S. Present is SV with larger capacity battery, much better Heating and A/C. Both use less power and the heat is more effective. Present car has Navigation and alloy wheels but offers essentially the same quiet, peppy (at city speeds) driving experience. Before I bought the first Leaf I kept a record of how far I drove each trip and miles per day. I found that I seldom went more than 30 miles a day with multiple short trips most days. The 240v charging station that l provided for when we had the house built restores 100% charge from a usual discharge of around 50% in a few hours so car is usually fully charged. I note that charging is slower than in first Leaf but there is no 80% recommended setting to maintain battery life. My current Leaf has just over 30,000 miles and has no loss of battery bars. Virtually zero maintenance and versatile enough for me to haul home a standard upholstered arm chair in the trunk well with hatch closed. It wouldn’t fit in my BMW X1.
