I'm looking at a 2014 spark ev. u can buy them on carmax for 10500. My question is i only drive about 3500 miles a year. i was concerned, if i buy a 2014 spark with a123 batteries in them, they wont have a replacement, since its not a LG battery like 2015. Should i quit worrying since 10 years of driving is only adding 35000 miles to it? will my battery still hold a good range with only 35k added or will it lose alot of range anyway after 10 years because the battery aged 10 years. If I by a used one with 15k miles on it, it will only have 50k on it in 2027. What do u guys think. Should i buy a 2015 instead which cost more but has a LG battery in it. Will the battery degrade with age even if I dont put alot of miles on it? Will a 2014 spark ev with 50k miles on it today have the same range as a 2014 spark ev with 50k miles on it in 2027 ?
Also, the Nissan leaf has completely collapsed in resale value. U can buy a 2013 for 6500. do u see the spark dropping like that or is it exclusive to the leaf since they didnt use liquid cooling on their battery.
