Don't buy a Nissan Leaf, battery awful
 I have since had the battery replaced with the New Lizard Battery.  This car realistically gets about 60 to 70 miles to a charge.  I can never be sure, since I never go from full to empty on it.  But I have NO issues with the new battery. What they don't tell you is you only get the ORIGINAL capacity warranty on the battery, even when you replace it with the new one. So the warranty is only good till August 2017. From what I've been told, the new battery consists of replaceable cells.  I actually would have leased the car at 200/month and gotten rid of it by now. I would have walked away from the car for 7200 instead of the 17000 I've spent. Nissan's software is completely inaccurate regarding its measure of battery capacity. I get 9 bars yet when I look at the graphs it's barely measuring 10.5 KW of total power utilized out of 24KW/h. The Techs and Engineers insist that NISSAN is right and do not care about what I had to say. They hook it up to their diagnostic equipment and say the battery is fine and just wait till we get 8 bars and we'll replace it. I bought the car wholesale with 2000 miles on it thinking I got a deal for 17K. It took nearly 4 months to get it to 8 bars.
