We owned a used 2015 leaf for 5 years. We loved it. I traded it in for a new bolt which is a much better car. I wouldn't recommend the leaf if you are going to take it road tripping. But if like us you need a 2nd car as a reliable and affordable around town car, than the leaf could be a great option.

It's a great car for the money, if you actually know anything about EVs (which many commenters here obviously don't) it's hard to argue that it's not a high value proposition. Sure the battery is passively cooled and it doesn't have 300 mile range, but most people don't need either of those and paying more for them aka a Model Y is wasting that money. If you need a roadtrip car don't get it, if it's a second car in a household it's almost unbeatable.

I'm reading the comments here about used EV's and just read a news article that states MotorTrend is going to get into the online used car market. They also say that 10% of interest for used cars is in EV's and hybrids. I would like to see a couple of reviews from TFLEV on high mileage vehicles of this type. I don't mean for TFLEV to buy them but looking for honest evaluations of them from a media source I trust. You TFLEV. Thanks

I got one used for $18k with 15k miles. 2023. Where I live there are no incentives other than not paying taxes for the purchase of new EVs.
My experience has been great so far. I don’t need fast charge since I only drive no more than 70 miles daily. Charge at home and repeat. For longer trips I would probably not use this.

0:56 the leaf isn't bad, it's just got innards the are out of standard or out of date.
but a little birdy told me a sedan (hatchback really) is coming to replace it. so long as the price is kept reasonable, it should be good.

If you spend most of your driving time just commuting to work in town this car would be just fine, especially at this price. If you do an occasional long rip then rent an ICE car for that trip. The amount of savings you are getting by purchasing this vehicle and not having to pay for gas will more than offset the car rental for the occasional long distance trip you may drive.

Not a bad option if you're on a budget and have a place to charge at home.
