Used 2019 was a petty good buy so far

I bought a used 2019 Leaf SV Plus from a Subaru dealer in early 2020 that had 7,800 miles on it. I enjoy driving past all the gas stations in my area; I only need to visit them, when I need to add air to the tires! I have 32,000 miles on it as of 6/1/24 and so far my only expenses have been a new cabin air filter, 2 tires and a new battery (not the 'big' batteries - it actually has a regular battery too, which set me back about $145 + labor cost at the dealer). LIKES? No gas fuel bill Not a noticeable increase in my home electric bill Very quick acceleration when I need it, Ride is fairly comfy except driver's seat bottom cushion shape and width make driving with my wallet in my back pocket uncomfortable: I am 5'10", 195 lbs., have a medium small-sized derriere and no 'love handles'. Split back seat folds down most of the way flat, allowing carrying longer objects & luggage when needed. Adults don't complain about riding in the back seat. Neither does my son's 3 year old, 150 lb. Rottweiler... LESS LIKEABLES? - FUNCTION CONTROLS on LCD panel are mostly decipherable, but manipulating them while driving is still not optimally safe - We get 150-200 miles per charge unless using heat or AC, which affect mileage negatively. - Tires seem to wear sooner and are more expensive than regular passenger car tires - Batteries re-charge time using standard household 110v AC current is LOOOOONG - sometimes 36 hours for a full charge. Since we also have 2 other gas-powered vehicles between us, it's mostly only a minor issue RANGE - I don't like to travel more than 140 miles per trip, mostly because a. the public Rapid-charge stations network is not frequent enough b. Too many of the chargers at those stations are inoperable or broken, or they want >$15 for a rapid charge-up. - COST OF HOME LEVEL 2 CHARGING add-ons: my new house was built with a Level 2 charging outlet in the garage, but the required converter + cable will be an additional $1,000. - Advanced Driver Assist functionality of forward & side scanning radar has stopped working twice in mildly rainy overcast weather - NO fog. I assume that the combo of rainy roads and grey overcast confuse the forward seeing function enough to shut that down? The car still drives safely, though. It displays the same amber warning light as when roads are getting icy and traction control is less than optimal - BACKUP CAMERA has low disappointingly low-res screen, - BACKUP CAMERA is badly positioned/not shielded from weather. Whenever it rains, the - backup camera's lens is badly obscured - almost unusable. - DASHBOARD LCD PANEL needs MUCH better anti-glare coating. It's almost un-usable/illegible when bright sunshine reflects on it. OVERALL? When this one needs replacement, I will buy another EV, maybe even another Leaf, but I WON'T spend >$45,000. And when next I replace one of our gas-powered vehicles I will buy a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.
