At 70,000 miles the only drive line maintenance my leaf has had is 1 by me possibly 2 alignments. A set of tires and a transmission oil change.
The oil change is optional since I read about a leaf that had 160,000 miles. But the guy said "the transmission had been making noises".
Do we know if the hub motors are going to last that long in the real world?
The hub motors being a few more % efficient than a leaf or teala doesn't really matter when when it wears out before 50,000 miles.
