Not true (source: I recently did a bunch of car buying research and a used Leaf was my number 2 choice; ended up not getting it).

These are electric drivetrains (simpler transmission, etc.) so there are fewer things that can go wrong relative to an ICE car. Obv range is limited with a used Leaf but that's not a problem for most city trips.
