Anyone here on a 2nd hand EV? What has the buying/ ownership experience been like so far? (self.evs)

Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

There are a lot of very ordinary EVs from Hyundai, Opel, VW, Peugeot etc that aren't screwed up this way. It's very much doable. Nissan just fails at making cars.

Do remember that those were designed from the start to have active cooling, the Leaf wasn't, in fact it's a great example of a lack of foresight between the lack of active cooling and the Chademo plug.
