Nissan leaf is okay. Driven 3 different ones. Range is around 130 fully charged? To get all the juice out of it you can't have the heater or A/C running. In the summer its fine you can roll the windows down, but as you are using heater to defrost windows and heat cabin in this time of year your mileage goes down.

Highway speeds also drain battery faster. I calculated from PoCo to Boundary Rd off highway 1 and back was roughly 10-20km more drain than the actual trip. Cant remember exact number.

Great as a 2nd car for the family, short trips, grocery store etc. Wouldn't recommend as a daily driver unless you have charging ports at work, and your commute is under 70km
