How many "bars" remain? The right-side white and red bars represent battery health, and 12 represents nearly 100% battery health, with about 15% drop in capacity for every missing bar. I've heard it's possible to reset this gauge, so you should get a bluetooth OBDII device and look at battery health with Leafspy.

I think prices will drop more as the Leaf II begins selling in quantity and people trade in or sell their gen I. Maybe I'll get one in 6 months to a year.

The level 1 EVSE that comes with the Leaf is pretty easy to safely modify to a level 2 EVSE.

I'm looking for a '13 or newer since Nissan replaced the grid heater with a heat pump, and doubled the power of the onboard charger.

Tow capacity is always dependent on driving conditions, how slow you can get away with going, and comfort level. I'd probably go up to 2k lbs if the distance is short and traffic was minimal.
