I ' m really sorry . Especcially cause you may never be able to talk to her again too . <| sep |> Nissan Leaf 24 kWh owner here . Let me start off by pointing out you should never ever buy one if you plan to use for more than incity shopping and commuting . I got mine as a lease via work and it ' s great for that . I ' ve owned it for 3 . 5 years and 140 . 000 km . The battery display actually shows maximum charge on the dashboard , by fading out the top bars . I ' m currently at 10 . 5 out of 12 bars . Whether that ' s good or not is a personal call of course . If it ' ll get you to your destination , that ' s fine . Some other details though I ' ve had pretty much no maintenance done . Only the interior air filter and tires have been replaced . So the cost of ownership and use for an electric car is super low , more than offsetting a battery replacement after 4 years . At 140 k km I ' ve saved 10 . 000 euro on fuel , a new battery is half that
