Levenkay said:I don't know the details, and haven't been a Washington resident for a few decades, but I would fervently hope that the fare for taking a LEAF on a ferryboat would be a function of just two things: 1) the size of the LEAF, and 2), the weight of the LEAF. Unless they incorrectly measured those parameters, or botched the calculation of the fare, pay up. Don't try to claim you deserve a reduced fare because your particular piece of cargo that's being carried by a diesel-powered boat is glowing with eco-virtue.
One thing that might be more reasonable to ask the ferry system for would be a charge station or two in the "waiting for ferry" parking lots.

We are interested in your post (In fact, we're heading up to Washington in a few hours -- not via Leaf for this short trip.), but perhaps if you would explain the basis of your request, MNL participants could provide better comment and perhaps support.Astolfo said:it has to do with a list that some attendants have and some don't
Then perhaps "The List" has a fortuitous (for LEAF owners) error built into it. I took my LEAF on the Port Townsend/Keystone ferry last year, and arrived at the terminal during enough of a slack period that there was nobody behind me at the tollbooth. The attendant asked me whether my car was a compact, and I was kind of befuddled as to what she meant. She explained that if the car I was driving was a compact one, my fare would be less. I was still clueless, and there still wasn't anyone else coming, so she took out a measuring wheel (the kind they use to work out distances for accident reports), and measured off my car. "Nope.", she said. "You gotta pay the full fare".Astolfo said:it has to do with a list that some attendants have and some don't
