Electricity is NOT FREE either. Recommend you find out how much it will cost to charge the LEAF.
Also — as someone pointed it out you may not make it for your full trip with the LEAF, without charging it while at work and you need to find out whether that would be feasible.
I heard from someone who has a LEAF that it takes some 12 hrs or more to charge it up fully — you can pay for some fast charging accessory, that comes with the car, that allows you to charge it faster.
Equivalent to about $1.75 on your electric bill if you charge at home per full charge.
I figure I’d only do it maybe 3 times per week versus the $100-$110 I pay in Obama economy gasoline. We have on-site free charging at work.
