We have an April 2012 build Leaf, bought new in April 2014, and we purchased it from the original owner in October 2019. It has 33,000 km on the odo, and the SOH is 68% it will barely do 100km in ECO mode without the climate control on. :(

:( That hurts.

:? Not too bad for 108,000km

Then there was a 2019 Leaf with about 35,000km advertised in Perth recently that had already lost its 4th capacity bar.....

Our new to us Leaf has 93,000km, SOH 83%, 1st capacity bar lost, GOM 114-119 at 80% charge.
GOM every morning must be based on city estimations because we quickly wipe it off at 80-90km/h highway speeds.
Most recent "long" run: Start at 80%, 84km total, 60km at 80km/h, all flat, had the aircon off for much of it due to nervousness, finished at 20% battery capacity and 30km left on the GOM.

Hi @JeffB, I assume yours is the imported one? What year model is it?

There's no way Oz Leaf has this awesome stats (unless the battery just got changed under warranty)!! That pretty much confirms the newer chemistry (i.e. Lizard type?) has waaay better degradation profile then the earlier generation (2012 or earlier).

Hi
I’ve a question for the Forum?
Can the 2019 Leaf be charged using 3 phase AC -22KW charger?

It can plug into a three phase source, but will only charge from one of the three phases, so a maximum of 7.2 kW.

Did my first highway KMs with my 2018 ZE1. Trip was northern beaches to The Entrance on the central coast and return. 160kms all up, 2 passengers - no luggage. Started with 100% and got home with 35%... so that's around 240km total range? M1 is pretty hilly near Sydney and 110km/h. I was using the cruise/propilot a lot but less so up the hills where it seems to overuse available power to hit the specified speed. On the way home it was terrible end of long weekend traffic... 10-60kmh for most of the highway KMs. Which probably helped the economy a fair bit.

In December, I purchased an April 2012 build Leaf, that the first owner bought new in April 2014, and has had a couple of other owners since (I have gathered), I aquired it from a local Nissan Dealer. It has 48,000 km on the odo, and 4 bars lost from the SOH (7 remaining).

The lowest I have consumed the battery is down to 12% and at a different time have charged upto 98% but typically keep it above 25% and up to around 80%.
I've been using the Jolt DC Fast charges with the 7kWh free daily option.
With often a daily charge and between 30 km and 74 kms travelled between charges, it has so far been managable.

As a summary, I've travelled almost 1700kms and have paid $2.13 because I missed stopping the charging before the 7kWh/day.
Comparing with other cars I have owned, I would have paid between $308 (The current family car) to $350 (What I was driving before) in petrol.
Without the free portion of JOLT fast chargers it could have costed about $120 and home AC slow charging would have been around $85.

As a second car for mostly work commute, it's a little bit of work to re-charge each day or two but now I go out for my lunch time (typially I was eating lunch at my desk) and I see this as a positive of breaking up my day that is also saving money.
