Why shouldn't I buy a used Leaf ?

[Patrick1964]

I have a commute of 20 miles each way, doing a total of about 1000 miles a month in my daily driver, a Mk5 Golf Gti. I drive largely a mixture of A roads and country lanes. Every chance I can recharge the car at work, but if not there's no problem doing it on the drive. We have other cars in the house for long journeys, tip runs etc. I can buy a low mileage Leaf with an owned battery for about £7000. My current cost for fuel and depreciation is about £3000 per annum. What, if anything am I missing? I know the Leaf won't drive like the Gti and ca accept that.

Swiss, I'm not bored with the Golf, just the £200 per month saving is attractive.
