My sources say battery life is exceeding the warranty period. So a used Leaf is less of a gamble.
But the EOM EVs are going into a new generation, which lowers the perceived value of the used vehicle. Which makes the depreciation on the new vehicle higher and suppresses their sales. Which makes leasing the way to go on a new vehicle, and used Leafs a good deal.
What sort of prices are Ecomodders seeing?
