It was the second and not one of the crap 40kwhs of that vintage either 😆

The leaf is the best and worst car to use for this sort of thing. The best because there are a lot of older ones still driving around so a lot of data, but no active battery heating/cooling.

Yeah, I've heard the warming/cooling of them etc can extend the life significantly, so cars with them would have a longer life expectancy....

To be honest it wasn't something I was worried about - Because Nissan have stuck doggedly to the CHADMO fast standard i was less worried about running out of battery and more about running out of places to charge it out and about!

People also steer clear of Used EV's but that's silly - mechanically there's way less to go wrong than there is on a normal car and the unwarranted level of depreciation means its relatively straightforward to find a really good bargain.
