whilst im not denying the depreciation, It was a 2 year old car at the most. That hit from showroom is steepest in the first years.
Why the hate campaign against EVs?

We'd of had to of charged it on a public charger for one journey in the 9-10 month of EV driving.So it would of worked out fine for us,plus it's a £2k -£3k vehicle.
Very dated now and we're never pretty to start with.

It was a very early model with a new range of about 120miles, so being at 60miles range is about right. Autoalex bought a 450,000 mile model s and has been testing that. It’s safe to say it goes a lot further than 60miles
that must be the most widely used phrase by the leccy car brigade. it's as though it's a comfort blanket for them.
So half its distance in 10 years. How much distance would a 10 year old nissan micra lose in 10 years?
You don’t think it’s worrying for the poor souls who brought a leaf in good faith.
It’s a Nissan, not a Tesla. But technology is improving all the time I suppose.
This 2018 Tesla Model 3 Passed the 300,000-Mile Mark, Here's What You Need To Know
Many people are still not convinced that electric vehicles are suitable for the long run, but a new story from Canada proves the oppositewww.autoevolution.com
The technology is improving all the time. There's quite a few moon mile Tesla's out there but mostly first Gen ones. The Model 3 is only 5 years old in the UK but there has been a few over 100k that are still on original brakes. I saw a taxi used one recently on youtube i think, and the seats etc had worn really well. Original Battery and Motors and was well over 120k
There's a Tesla in Newcastle, the all wheel drive batshit fast version that's a taxi

The point was the leaf was very much a first gen product, it's poor range new is a big part of that. Saying it only has a 60 mile range would be a lot worse if it's original range was 300 miles. It's not great, but it's not that bad. The Tesla after 450,000 miles was still doing over 200 miles to a charge, that's not bad and it will have far less spent on maintenance to get that many miles than an ICE vehicle would have. Plus as you say technology is improving, so as these are developed they will get better and better.

Yeah us EV brigade and our facts eh?
Half its range is bad, no matter how hard you want to dress it up. There will be some leaf owners out there who are quite upset at losing half their range in ten years.
just making an observation.
another thing leccy car owners seem to have in common is no sense of humour.

There are more new Tesla's out there than ever before, see them everywhere you go.

How's the "EGR,DPF,Maf,manifold,adblue,emissions " technology coming on these days
Maybe it’s a North East thing. It’s the MGs which seem to be making an appearance, possibly as said to the loss of Tesla.
Cleanest diesels have ever been, so the technology must be advancing.

But DPFs etc are all just money to "empty the wallet in the name of cleaner air" according to Humbug.
Well he's half right. They empty your wallet if they go wrong, but do drastically clean the emissions on a diesel car when working correctly.But DPFs etc are all just money to "empty the wallet in the name of cleaner air" according to Humbug.
