Don't buy a VW.
My leaf was 7 years old and only sold for about 15% of its msrp.
If you are going to drive it 40 miles a day you will need 240v charging. To replace 10kw you will need to charge for up to 10 hours per day, probably around 8. Plus 240v charging is over all more efficient. You will use a lot more electricity in the winter time, around 25% more.
120v charging wastes nearly 20% in conversion losses, running pumps, fans, ect and just keeping the electrical system powered up all that additional time compared to 240v charging.
