Had a look and test drove one of these this week. I've always liked their aesthetic, since they first came out and we're looking to replace the Leaf and eventually our ICE and this would be a big purchase for us. Can it be assumed that an ex-fleet specimen would have been well maintained and had the ICCU done?

I also liked the look of the Polestar but I think the boot would be too cramped whereas the i5 is massive.

Any other suggestions (not Tesla)? Budgeting 40ish, but wondering if we should just go a (much) cheaper 62kWh Leaf...

Hi there. We're booked for an install of 15 x 470w panels and 2 x 10.1 kWh batteries next week, but the company has just come back to say they had a delay on the shipping and they can't provide the 10.1kWh batteries for another 2 months.

They're offering 3 options with various levels of compensation to us. One, is wait 2 months for whole install with a medium comp, two, is take 2x 9.3kWh batteries and a good sized comp, or 3, get the panels now, 10.1s in two months with the smaller compensation.

I'm liking options 2 or 3. If I went for the smaller batteries, I'd still have 18.6(ish) in storage, right? And also I'd put the compensation towards more panels, vs get the panels, start getting some solar power and then 2 months later get the full 10.1 (x2) batteries...

Any recommendations?
