How woukd this degrade the battery ?
I keep sayin it, but I wouldn't get a Leaf if I were you. I'd get a Bolt (or possibly Spark).

The Bolt regulates battery temperature so long as it has 40+% charge.

With how few miles you drive, you could L2 charge at grocery stores or other places you've got to visit periodically.

I thought about snaking a cord out my apartment window, but I was on the 3rd floor. There are cord protector ramps that prevent tripping.
