When Kerry Dunstan and his partner set out to buy a new electric car this summer, one of the questions they asked was, "How's the battery?".
They'd found a 2021 Nissan Leaf with just 29,000 miles on it, and the dealer told them the condition of the battery, or its state of health (SOH), was still around 93%.
The couple were sold. For £12,500, they got an EV with a big boot and plenty of room for passengers.
Though Mr Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a somewhat snazzier electric Volvo SUV, hasn't quite fallen in love with the aging Leaf.
"I like sporty, jazzy cars – and it's just a bit 'meh'," he says.
