Hello,
Currently, I have just plugged into my new-to-me 2014 CMax Energi with my stock Nissan Leaf Level 1 charger and the charging port on the Energi is lighting up blue and the Leaf charger "charging" light is on. So far, so good it seems based on my very limited knowledge. I bought this from a person who was selling it for his fiance's father, the original owner, who due to age, is no longer able to drive. Clean title, one owner, 104k miles, $3,900. How could I pass this deal up, in spite of the badly cracked windshield, cracked tail light body (lights still function,) broken hatchback struts & three little dings in the body? They could not however, indicate why there was no charging cable, nor could they answer whether or not it had ever been charged or used in EV mode. I'm assuming the original owner was content with the great hybrid mileage and didn't want to fuss with a plug. Also I should mention that when I press the EV button, I get a message that EV Mode is not available. So that leads me to believe that the hybrid system does not charge the EV batteries and that they are a completely separate system. So to get to my question, assuming the EV batteries have never been charged or just not charged at all in the last several years, should I expect these batteries to be functional at all with very limited range? or dead? or possibly still fully functional? Thanks for any insights at all, and please forgive my ignorance.
