Teresa Marshall was an early electric vehicle adopter.
In 2019, she was driving about 50,000 kilometres a year. To save on gas and maintenance, and reduce her impact on the environment, she purchased a used 2017 Nissan Leaf for about $20,000.
“It’s been a great vehicle,” she said. “Maintenance wise, it’s cost me a fraction. The oil change on my Acura TL was about 600 bucks. I’ve spent about $600 total on services on my Leaf in the last five years. It’s a big difference.”
