Mmm, Oreos. That reminds me that my parents should probably sign up for that since they certainly travel less than 12k. They drive daily, but probably average 20 miles.

Regarding Leaf batteries; they are junk. Their environmental controls are all but non-existent, which is a necessity for EVs considering most other manufacturers implement it. My parents 9 year old Leaf is down to about 2/3 capacity. In the winter that can mean as little as 35 miles of range.
