I recently purchased a Nissan Leaf, which is the most affordable electric car I could find here in Cyprus. It’s 11 years old and has clocked 155,000 kilometers. The battery is at 60% of its original capacity, with 7 out of 12 bars remaining. This means 40% of the battery has degraded, and it will continue to do so over time.
Is it cheaper than a petrol car? - YES
What are the maintenance costs? - Defenetely less than petrol/diesel car. Check the review.
Can I charge it using a regular home socket? - Sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy this car.
