So, my shiny 2013 Nissan Leaf just confirmed it’s living its best battery-life performance, which apparently means “occasionally refusing to start and leaving me pondering the mysteries of modern technology.” Has anyone else embraced the joy of owning a vintage electric chariot that seems to think low-energy consumption means “existence on a tightrope”? I'd love some tips on when it’s time to upgrade from sheer hope and a couple of charging station apps to actually seeing sparks fly—ideally, not literally from the battery pack. Any recommendations for summoning charging gods or secretly bargaining with the car?
