Why a history check matters on a Nissan Leaf
Leaf battery doesn't have active thermal management — Queensland and WA examples can lose 30%+ range capacity by year 5 vs Tasmanian examples retaining >85%. Use LeafSpy (or a Nissan dealer) to read the battery state-of-health (SOH) before purchase; <70% SOH and the car is essentially worthless. ZE0 (2010-2018) is uneconomical to battery-replace; ZE1 (2019+) is borderline.
