I have been a long-time stalker on this subreddit. Today I found an electric car that I can actually afford, despite it being 11 years old. The trading website I found it on is still set for ICE cars, so it doesn’t say anything about the battery capacity, except for the picture that I have linked below. What does that mean? Maximum range 29km? I am in Canada, so the cold weather will further reduce the range, I suppose? These are all the details I have. Year: 2012; 150000km; CAD 3000; a bit of rust, but nothing crazy. I called and emailed them 2 days ago, but haven’t heard from them yet. https://imgur.com/wYZRkuN

    The cluster is saying the car is roughly half charged (6/12 of the longer bars) and the battery is at about half of its original health (6/12 shorter bars). You can get more precise readings with an ODB reader and Leafspy.

    The bars on the left hand side are battery temperature - 5 bars there means the battery is at a good temperature (I see a noticeable drop in range when there are four or fewer temperature bars showing)
