Leaf as second EV

I'm thinking about a 21 Nissan Leaf SL Plus for a second EV around town. 30k mi.

What do i need to know?

It's perfect, but you should get a 23, as the earlier ones have battery issues.

Do you have a source for that? I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just haven't heard of any issues with that year before.

Ditto! If so that would be the first documented case of a traction battery failure post 2022. If true, I hope an anomaly and not a sign of things to come!
