How many miles has your LEAF gone?

[extragoode]

I'm just crossing over 90k miles on my 2013 LEAF SV (I'll add it into the garage tomorrow or something) and hoping to get 100k miles before replacing it late next year. I see lots of people talking about Tesla's with 300k+ miles on them, but I never see or hear about any high mileage LEAFs. I realize that's likely because the world as a whole as moved on from the LEAF.

How many miles does your LEAF have on it or what's the highest mileage LEAF you know of. Total mileage on the car is interesting, but I'm mostly after how many miles are on the battery. I've looked around a little haven't been able to find many over 70k or 80k unless they've replaced the battery.

I had around 70,000 miles on my Leaf when I sold it. It had 11 out of 12 battery bars still.

To this day my wife says that was her favorite car inspite of all the drawbacks it had.

Maybe some day I'll have an EV again. Maybe it will be a clunker Leaf for around town.

Most recent Leaf thread?

This morning I saw an 2013 Nissan Leaf for sale. $1000, salvage title (rear-end collision but driveable), 25 miles on a charge.

Is it worth that? No interest myself, other than as a donor for a class C motorhome.

97477 ZIP area if anyone is interested.

Mine has 130,000 and it had 48,000 when I got it in summer of 2018.

Freebeard, that would be an interesting datapoint if it included how many miles were one it. I can't find it for sale anymore.

Oil pan, awesome, how is your battery doing? Mines down to 9/12 bars and I don't know if I can make it work with any less range than that, but if yours didn't degrade signicantly after 90k or 100k maybe mine has a chance to last longer than 100k miles.

I found a couple examples for sale with 120k to 130k miles, but they only had 6 or 7 bars left and were only useful for 25-30 miles.

This reddit thread shows a Leafspy screen cap of a 24kwh LEAF with almost 175k miles and over 9500 cycles! That also seems to be about the max life out of these batteries as the results are that it's about shot, which answers my question of how long I can expect to limp this car along. Also, this gives some clue as to how many more cycles these batteries would be good for in a stationary solar storage capacity, which is my plan for them once I'm done with the car.

An update on my own car over a year after creating this thread is that I'm now over 101k miles with basically no change since last year other than my kids are getting bigger and my requirements for range are getting longer, so I'm finally going to install a 240V L2 charger in my garage, but even then I might have to upgrade to a larger battery than this 18kwh effective one before it actually degrades any further.
