Hi, hope you can help.
I apologise in advance if this is a common question but I haven’t really seen it listed anywhere.
We’re in New Zealand and looking to buy a second hand leaf. Our local EV dealer has a 2016 30X (I believe that’s an Acentia in some countries) arriving from Japan in a few weeks that ticks most of the boxes for us.
The thing is, the car has 12 bars but the leafspy graph shows a SOH of 82.8%. (at 36% SOC)
I’ve heard that the SOH can sometimes be temporarily boosted with a quick charge or two, but the question is, is it likely that this SOH is just temporarily lower? possibly due to not being used much recently?
To put it another way, which of these is most likely do you think?
A) The 12 bars are overstated and it’s likely to drop one to two bars almost straight away
B) The SOH is understated, and is likely to increase to possibly 85+% once it’s being used regularly
or
C) It’s anybody's guess
Thanks
