Pros: (happy I bought it)
-- insurance policy against gas prices / shortages. I lived through the oil
embargoes. I am also a peak oil believer
-- drives / looks like a great car, ice or electric
-- 1/2 price of the Volthoax
Cons:
-- must make a 110 mile, one way commute to a work sites about 34 weeks out of they
year. Thought I would be able to stop 1/2 way to recharge in about 20 minutes. Actually.
at Level II charger, would take 1 - 1.5 hours. Way too long to be practical
-- apparently, I cannot upgrade my SV to LV for a Level III charge, which would allow a
20 minute recharge.
-- in an emergency, and need to get away more than 100 miles (fires, earthquakes, terrorism, etc.)
sh(*t outta luck in a Leaf
Bottom line:
-- for a family with 2 cars, the Leaf can be a great choice for local trips, other hybrid or ice only
car for road trips / emergencies.
