We had a 2015 with an 80 mile range. Never had any issues. Stop n go traffic is the best in an EV with regen braking, you can go forever. But generally, it was the perfect city car. We lost it in an accident and immediately bought a 2019 Leaf with 200+ mile range.Read More on Reddit
I just purchased a 2023 S with 7700 miles for $18k. Love it. I use it for as a commuter and short trips. Charge it 2x per week for free at our office building level 2. Its been 5 weeks. Kids like it, too. Nights and weekends its a family pool car.Read More on Reddit
