My Nissan Leaf battery, which everyone on Reddit with an electric car they bought yesterday is very sure will die any minute, has yet to lose any of its range after 6 years and 50k miles.
Pros: no range loss
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 80467 km
My 2015 Leaf has 148k on it and still drives like new. The battery is down to about 85% but this is pretty old lithium tech with very early thermal controls on it.
Pros: drives like new, low maintenance
Cons: battery down to 85%
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 148000 km
My EV is 8 this year. I've not noticed a drop in range over that time, but I'll find out when it goes in for its last battery health check before the warranty expires.
Pros: no drop in range
a used 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf. Tennessee winters should be at least somewhat mild so they should be gentler on the battery, and it's best if you can park it somewhere in the shade. They often go for $2k-$3k private sale around me because the battery life is fading and nobody wants a car with 40-60 miles of range after "filing up." Slow charging using a standard 110V outlet is better for the battery and should suffice for your use case as long as you can charge overnight and maybe longer over weekends.
Pros: slow charging sufficient, gentler on battery in mild winters
Cons: fading battery life, limited range

2013 Leaf! We loved it but the ~90 mile range made it a work and home only car.
Pros: loved the car
Cons: limited range

We had a 2015 Nissan Leaf EV back in 2018. Fun little car but it only has an 80 mile range.

Cons: limited range

Shop Forman and Nissan tech of 15 years, lately we have seen a ton of frontiers come in for battery discharging. Some will be batteries that do test bad, some have been discharging for no reason even after confirming no parasitic drains, some believe the Telematics control unit is staying on/relaying to Nissan servers causing drains. With the variable charging systems controlled by the ECM/IPDM all of it just seems to be a recipe for electrical disaster. Not a fan of any of it
Cons: battery discharging, electrical disaster

Bought a 2025 Rogue Platinum less than 2 weeks ago. So far, on day 4 the car was completely dead in my driveway. Needed the battery replaced.
Cons: car completely dead, battery replaced
Vehicle:
Nissan
