Thanks! Nice to meet a former-owner of the Leaf! I have the S with the quick-charge option installed. I did already join that MyNissanLeaf forum, and great tip about the tires. I will certainly check the PSI. I use a bicycle pump for tires and it works fantastically well, and keep very tight...

Hi! Yes, I love the LEAF. This specimen is so clean that it essentially feels like a new car. I love the Golfs (always will) but the 150 mile LEAF range is ideal, and I don't even have to change how I drive in faster SoCal traffic (in free-flowing conditions, anyway). It's also the color I want...

Yeah with my 60-mile round trip and battery degradation over the years and extenuating conditions (too many hard accelerations, running heat/AC, etc.), it's just too close. If I had the choice of a white 2017 SEL I'd have been all over that. My options were and are limited until my credit is...

Yesh, 2017 would have been a much better fit for my needs. I really do prefer the Golf (aside from the Tesla Model 3). I love the Golf but I need to build credit to get a newer one with much more range. I ended up getting a very clean 2018 Nissan Leaf in the color I want (white with black...

Hi Ron, Wow, this was an amazingly relevant and helpful post. I already decided to go with a different car, a 2018 Nissan Leaf with 9k miles for 20k, and it had the quick-charging option installed. It's also super clean....and from the looks of it it'll remain carpool-legal (as a solo occupant)...

Eek. This is cutting it VERY close. Copy that on battery draining too. I would definitely not to watch drain all the way, and I've read that charging to 100% is also not ideal. Honestly, I don't even really want to drive too slowly. 75-80 mph is free-flowing conditions in CA as you well know...

Hi there, Yesh, the heat pump is another factor. I've decided that at minimum, I will have to go with the SEL for a variety of reasons, but namely for the quick-charging capability if I'm stuck. Even if it's a level 2 charger, I will get better throughput in the SEL. Nice to know your personal...

I have one more day to think about it, potentially signing papers tomorrow. However, I have 5 days or 200 miles to assess range. If it's way too close I can give the car back through Shift, so that's a good thing. Yeah, I don't like cutting it so close. That's been a major point of contention...

Is this still for sale? I'm in Santa Clarita, CA. Do you have pics? Thanks!

Howdy Sptgolf, Ah, that's encouraging to read. Most of my commuting will be freeway driving too, with a few hills but nothing crazy. I don't plan to run errands before or after unless it's really on the way and I have plenty of confidence in the range. Mostly, I needed a backup vehicle to...

Hi Sparklebeard! Great username btw. Yes, this is all very helpful. You told me some things I didn't know, and I'm in heavy research phase. I have an Android, so the Android auto will be welcome in the 2016, and the 2016 SE is the color I like. You're correct that there's no DCFC, and that...

Hi there, VW eGolf forum! I am pre-approved for loans on some used vehicles and I've never owned any EV before, but I've tested a few. My choices; 2015 VW e-Golf SEL (50,000+ miles). Has 7.2KW and Level 3 charge options. 2016 VW e-Golf SE (18,000+ miles) and no fast-charging option I'm...
