2011 are old enough that there is hardly any correlation to the remaining capacity. Some may be on their original, almost 9 years old, battery and probably have severely limited range. I have seen the Craigslist ad for the 4 bar Leaf, it had lost 8 bars and had barely any range remaining, like 20 miles or so. Some 2011 will by now be on their second battery, I would not be surprised to find occasional ones that are on their third battery, although the second battery was likely the newer technology that improved the deterioration with heat, it is still possible to hammer your battery with keeping it 100% charged all the time and hot, I have seen 2014 batteries that lost more than 10% capacity in one year by an owner that got a free warranty replacement in his 2011 and treated the new battery the same as the old, keeping it plugged in when he is not driving it, in his front yard, enclosed by homes all around, in the Central Valley area, in other words: baking in the outdoor stove.
When temps are more reasonable and when keeping the car garaged, deterioration is much less an issue. I have 2 Leaf packs from 2011 in my truck. They were about 70 and 75% capacity when I installed them and they gave me up to 120 miles range on a good warm day with careful driving. I still get close to 100 miles range these days, luckily i have a white truck and the air can flow all around the battery box, to keep heating in full sun to a minimum. Because weekdays it is always parked outdoors. I keep it from sitting fully charged, even my normal max charge cutoff is at 90% and typically I charge only shortly before commuting, removing almost 20% from the pack again. Cor.
