Nissan Leaf Electric 2019

***A no brainer. Assuming you do 20K kms a year, you'll be spending around 2400/year on gas, around 800/year on service for a 5 year old car (I doubt you can find a 5 year old car at this price), and 150? on road tax. With this one, you'll be spending 650/year on electricity, almost zero but let's say 100/year on service, 0 on road tax. If you have solar panels, you'll be paying from 0 to 104/year depending on whether you charge during daytime or at night. That means:

- Cost of ownership during the next 5 years on a gas car: 16750

- Cost of ownership for this one: 3750 (or 1020 if you have solar panels).

This means that within 5 years you are saving either 13000 on cost of ownership (or 15730 if you have solar panels). Essentially you are getting it for free. You'll tell me what if I need a battery? 1. This one has 12 bars, it's gonna drop to say 6-7 bars after 200K+ kms. 2. Even in the rare occasion a battery module goes wrong, you won't change the full battery, but a few modules for 1000-1500 euros. People don't realize that the cost of batteries has already dropped to 1/10th over the last decade*, and expected to get slashed to 1/3 of today's value in the next 5 years ($30-50/kwh).

*According to Oilprice, the price of a lithium-ion battery pack used to power an electric vehicle has plunged 89% in the last decade, from $1,100 per kWh to $137 per kWh

------------

Nissan Leaf, 2nd generation (40 Kwh battery), 150 hp.

The car is in excellent condition, apart from two scratches on the rear corners (visible on the photos). New tyres. Two break pads are likely to be needed in the next couple of thousands of kms.

Battery Health: 12 out of 12 bars.

Range: Approximate 240kms on a full charge. Enough to take you from Limassol to Ayia Napa and back on a single charge.

Kms: 109.000

The car was imported from Japan in 2022. One owner in CY. Selling as I’m upgrading to a newer EV.

It comes with a) a type 2 cable to connect to all public chargers, and b) the original nissan charger that connects to normal home electricity plugs.

This is likely the most economical car you can get. You’ll be saving a couple of 1000s per year on gas (if you have solar you pay 0, if not, you pay about 3 euros/100km, it’s one of the most efficient Evs at 13khw/100km), zero road tax, almost zero cost for service.
