I’m right here, a delighted driver of a Nissan LEAF.
Happy to take any questions.
FAQ:
- Typical range in temperate conditions is 80-100 miles.
- Just plug it into a 110v outlet every night and it will be fully charged in morning (assuming you’re not completely discharging it, just like you don’t completely drain your gas tank before filling up).
- No, it’s not good for long commutes (over 50 miles round trip), long trips (duh), or extreme temperatures (duh).
- It’s fast. Hits 85+ easier than the police might like.
- It’s comfortable (family of 4 plus decent cargo space).
- Yes, you have to think about your trips a tiny bit before you go.
- Yes, you should have an SUV parked next to it at home for long trips and heavy loads.
- No, it’s not all plastic, nor a deathtrap, etc.
- Mileage is sensitive to your driving style & conditions. I usually get close to 100 miles, have seen 114.
