The Leafs seem to be the most reliable as a population, at least I
haven't run across information to the contrary yet, while the i3, e-Golf
and 500e have some teething pains, the FFE has SSN events.
Is there any website with data on reliability for all/most of the
electrics ?

I don't follow your reasoning. There are reasons not to like a lease but the
fixed income aspect is not usually one of them. In fact, often it's the
opposite: people on fixed incomes like leases because they are predictable and
the payments are (usually) lower than loan-to-buy payments.
Sorry...I realize I left out a detail obvious enough to me I didn't think to
include it...they won't be getting a loan, no matter the vehicle; it'll be
cash, with the largest share coming from the (presumed) insurance settlement,
and, if need be (and it likely would) supplemented from savings from either or
both them and me.
A quick search for a Leaf in my area (Seattle) shows several used ones for sale
ranging from $11K and up.
That's likely the sort of thing we'd wind up looking at.
I guess what I'm asking from the list...is advice on which models are most
likely to be good values as used vehicles given all the other considerations --
hot climate, ~50 mile range, freeway capable, reliable, etc.
...and possibly as well advice on what to avoid...I seem to remember Leafs up
to a certain year died quick deaths in the heat...?
