Early LEAFs are quicker than later 13+ models (they reduced power to claim a bit more range), but I doubt there's a 2011 or '12 on the original battery that has as many miles as a 2012 i-MiEV does today. I Plugshare-hosted an early LEAF with only 26 miles of range last week! Meanwhile, my 2012 i-MiEV with 82,000 miles on the odometer still has all 16 bars o' charge and reliably delivers the full 61 rated miles. (I've done a lot of fast-charging and turtled at least once per month after getting to know the car.) In short, Mitsu used a more heat-tolerant chemistry with lower energy density and put it in an air-conditioned box, and they only advertised 80% of the initial battery capacity, while Nissan took a shortcut to higher power and rated range. You can guess which one won in the marketplace....
I picked up another i-MiEV with 43k miles on the odometer for my mom this Christmas, got it for $5k and of course, it delivers full rated range as well.
