k14:
Going by some of the tradme auctions there seems little need to be concerned about battery degredation. Here is a 2013 model that has done 57000kms and it still has 12 battery bars left. It sounds a bit too good to be true? Anyone seen a Leaf with over 50000km and still 12 battery bars left?
My 2016 30kWh LEAF is now a hair short of 42,000km and the battery is 93%-97% SoH (LeafSpy) depending on recent driving / charging patterns and ambient temperature. It was reliably 100% until the first week of Auguest......but it's almost 2 years old (from manufacure) so a small amount of degradation is to be expected.
I should be over 50,000km in the next 3-4 months. I'm doing about 1000km / week unless I'm in Australia (two weeks coming up).
This leaf just needs to last me until I can order a Tesla Model 3.
