I have been a long-time stalker on this subreddit. Today I found an electric car that I can actually afford, despite it being 11 years old. The trading website I found it on is still set for ICE cars, so it doesn’t say anything about the battery capacity, except for the picture that I have linked below. What does that mean? Maximum range 29km? I am in Canada, so the cold weather will further reduce the range, I suppose? These are all the details I have. Year: 2012; 150000km; CAD 3000; a bit of rust, but nothing crazy. I called and emailed them 2 days ago, but haven’t heard from them yet. https://imgur.com/wYZRkuN
Don’t get a Leaf. Even the newest 2nd Gen was outdated on launch. Saying this as a former Leaf owner. They are solid around town cars…and that’s it. Efficiency is very weather dependent more so than most EVs and charge slowly using a dead connector. Even in the highest end new model, any highway trip longer than ~85 miles roundtrip isn’t going to happen without stopping to charge or driving well below 55 MPH.
