I am in love with my Leaf. I've had it since November 2011 and despite a few challenges, it's definitely the most fun I've had in a car in a long, long time.
That being said, with the popularity growing, especially with the PHV scene, I find it harder and harder to find public charging. More times than not, public stations are completely occupied by Volts or Prius PHV. It's frustrating for reasons that I don't need to explain, but it's also making me doubt the purchase of my next EV.
Part of my love of the Leaf and the EV scene is the planning an intelligent route and finding charging stations at what seems the most perfect time and distance. I want more than anything for my next vehicle to be an EV. but with affordable extended range vehicles still a bit of a pipe dream, I find myself leaning towards the PHV scene.
Anyone else feel this way?
