Bullshit - I live in NZ, we've bought one of those 2nd hand Japanese Leafs, ours was at ~80% which gives us roughly a 100km range if charged 100% (we charge to 80%, which is better for the battery, besides we live on top of a hill) - it's a great around town car, what we bought it for, we've never run out of charge, always slow charge at home for cents compared with the other car (a Prius)

Like I said, it “may make the battery no longer useful, because the Leaf's range is just barely adequate for many people.”
Great for you if it works in your circumstances. For others it doesn’t and I don’t see what the need for the hostility is. Not everyone is exactly like you.

I am the OP, can you send me an email, my address is in my profile, I would like to ask you some questions about your car.
If it's a Tesla with a 300+ mile range, assuming the owner has a home charger, the difference in range really only matters on long road trips, and 225 miles is still adequate to drive long distances, albeit more slowly. The owner is not likely to replace the pack at this level of degradation.
