I don't want to tarnish your experience, but 30% degredation in 9 years is not good or normal across all EVs. Especially as you seem to be doing very little high power charging. 10-15% maybe, not 30%.
Nissan Leafs do seem to be the most extreme for degredation.
Can confirm. My dad's went from 115 or whatever the rated mileage was to 60-70 miles within 2 years. It would struggle to go 40 miles if the heater was on.
I don't know if they make those batteries out of packing peanuts or what, but it killed any possibility of him owning an EV for a long time.
Same here, it soured me on evs. I'll never buy a leaf again. I had problem after problem with that pos. "But they require no maintenance". Yeah right...
