LOL...
I know a moron that requested, and got, a Nissan Leaf as his company car. He’s lucky to get 40-45 miles, on a good day, between charges, even with brand-new batteries.

If he hits heavy street traffic, decides to use the headlights, the wipers, the radio, or GOD FORBID, the air conditioning, he’s screwed, and can’t make it the 19 miles to home at rush hour. There is no charging station at his office, if he doesn’t get a full 12 hours of charging, the range is even less.

He’s been stranded a couple of times, and really doesn’t like to talk about the smug car he’s stuck with for another 18 months. Or his home electric bill. And winter is coming.....

LOL! Sometimes “being green” is because you are getting ready to puke your guts out. Does he still feel like he’s doing his share to save gaia while rf’nk jr and doctor de crapio buzz around in private jets while owning gazillon dollar homes?

I wouldn't trust that thing just running around town.
And I probably couldn't afford the out of pocket costs for rewiring the house/detached garage for the "charger." Odds are overwhelming that it's NOT a 120v, 20a circuit.
