The older models suffer from battery degradation, big time.
Range and time it takes to charge changes so much. Good news is, Nissan has a battery upgrade programme. Not sure if it applies to your Leaf's year.
You definitely need a Level 2 charger at home. It requires 240 volt. Unless you don't mind plugging 110 V and waiting hours on end to have it charg super slow. If your Leaf has Level 3 (DC Fast Charge), then I guess you'll be spending time at the Superstores around the city. Damn, more EV's to compete with, gulolol.
If you do decide to go electric and you've really thought long and hard about it, at least ten times............ then get the Plug Share app and a few cards. You will need them at the charging stations. You can use the apps from your phone to activate the chargers, but there are times you have poor to no cell service. Cards are the best way to go. Much faster. I have most of them. ChargePoint, Flo, BC Hydro, and Greenlots. They cost ten bucks or so each, but worth it. Superstore chargers are free, for the most part, and don't require a card. A few do, however. I've been at this game for nearly five years. You really need to think about this. It is not for everybody. Did I mention you really, really need to think about this................
