There you go, my 2014 eNV200 hit 100,000 kilometres today.

Van is 2014, purchased (ex Japan) here in NZ six years ago with 4,500 on the clock for 13000 pounds (after reclaiming VAT)

It runs on a set of Leaf wheels that came as spares with a Leaf I purchased.

Apart from the annual test, the only cost has been wiper blades, tyres and electricity.

Most of the charging is done at night, 5p/kWhr.

Battery still on 12 bars

Maximum range 100k

Someone ran into the back of it a couple of years ago, but they paid for a new tailgate etc (neither of us were insured, which is legal in NZ).

Used most days even though I am supposed to be retired - thankfully it has a heated steering wheel and seats, heater is used only when necessary for clearing the screen.

Yes, it is a pain for longer journeys, but I am used to it now, not an issue.

A 40kW battery replacement would cost about 10,000, probably not worth it - for longer journeys I use Mrs Caziques 51kWhr MGZS EV

Not having to be insured sounds great. I wish we had that here.
