SELLER’S STORY:
This was our first all electric vehicle. It was a bit of a stretch for us to go all electric here in rural northern Wisconsin where there's virtually no public charging infrastructure, cold winter temps, and "nearby" being 30 miles away. Nevertheless we were concerned enough about the climate crisis and wanted to reduce our fossil fuel dependence, so we took the plunge. The Leaf has been able to do most of what we wanted it to do. We charged it with our solar panels and made most of our grocery runs and school trips for three years in it. We even drove 150 miles to Minneapolis in it twice with lots of time to charge at level 2 chargers along the way. We've recently purchased a new Chevy Bolt so we can actually run the heat while driving in the winter and make it to Minneapolis (where a lot of family live) without spending hours charging so it's time to say "farewell" to our first EV. It's got a few dents and scratches, the fan vibrates at high speeds, and the drivers side plastic door handle cover is loose. But we've replaced the windshield, the 12v battery, and the front tires are new all weather tires, but not the right ones for the most range so efficiency suffers some from them. May want to consider replacing them with the recommended Ecosia tires.

We've assumed a fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered premium sedan, for example, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S550. We've also assumed the national average of $0.13 per kilowatt-hour for electricity, 10% charging on Tesla’s Supercharger network and $2.70 per gallon for premium gasoline over the next five years.
Florida has allowed owners of hybrid, electric and other low-emission vehicles to ride in high-occupancy-vehicle lanes with only one person in the car between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. And with the introduction of the I-95 express lanes, they don't have to pay tolls.
EVs benefit from not requiring oil changes or other maintenance costs for exhaust systems. Studies have shown that this represents a 35 percent decrease in cost over time. Some calculations peg this to about 3 or 4 cents per mile of maintenance cost in an EV versus closer to 6 cents in an internal combustion car.
