Hello folks,
I'm new here new to this forum, read a lot in past days and weeks, but other than that I'm complete newbie and the little bit of knowledge I have is purely theoretical, so I'd appreciate advice from real life experience.
We are family of four, living in suburb of a 80k city. We basically to run to town (7 miles/12 kms round trip) weekends and myself commute and stuff daily and drop kids to/from school (10 miles/16 kms round trip), then every few weeks out to forest (30 miles/50 kms roundtrip max). I don't count twice a year for airport as it's that's 250 mile roundtrip.
In terms of infrastucture around - the closest L2 charger is about 2 miles/3 kms away, closest Chademo is about 2.5 miles/4 kms away, another Chademo charger is 5 miles/8 kms away. There are other about 8 L1/L2 withn 4 mile/7 kms range. Planning on getting L2 installed at home, but may not work out (old house, old wiring etc). I'm confident I could get L2 installed at my workplace as it's in a business park so it's feasible.
Our budget is about £13.5/€15k. I'm looking at either '15 or '16 Leaf XE optimally with a fast 6.6kw charger. I'm focusing on Leaf 24 as the battery degradation with Leaf 30 seems worse, and also they are cheaper in general.
Currently have two options:
'16 (Nov 16) 24kw Visia with 6.6 kW charger, 12.5k miles ODO, private seller, 2 owners, asking price £12.5k/€14k.TPMS is broken (due to tyre exchange?).
LeafSpy as follows:
Ahr - 60.34
SOH - 92.26%
Hx - 90.32%
SOC - 67.5%
min/avg/max = 3.995 4.004 4.010 (15 mV)
temp C = 24.0 24.1 22.6 (1.5 C)
257 QCs & 209 L1/L2
'15 (mid 15) 24kw Accenta with 3.3 kW charger, 7.2k miles ODO, EV dealer, 1 owner, asking price £11.5k/€12.8k.
LeafSpy as follows:
Ahr - 60.65
SOH - 92%
Hx - 93.12%
SOC - 78.7%
min/avg/max = 4.040 4.049 4.057 (17 mV)
temp C = 16.4 16.5 16.6 (0.2 C)
89 QCs & 109 L1/L2
To me the Ahr looks low for that low miles for both, correct me if I'm wrong. Both have been exposed to many QCs (is that bad?). Should I keep looking at other options?
Also, how can I tell definitely that '15 & '16 has a lizzard battery?
Thanks so much for any advice form the experts! Appreciate your help.
