Hello everyone,
Hi. I've spent a few hours here (fine lots of hours here) and before I forget, http://wiki.mynissanleaf.com/ is down. This site has been a very nice resource to get started on the whole EV aspect. I'm an ICE snob in that arena and I currently have a 6MT Cayman that I love driving at the redline. However, for daily driving, after crunching numbers in Excel for a few hours, it makes sense to drive an EV for daily driving and leave the Cayman for canyon runs over the weekend.
I live in the PNW and my daily commute is around 45-55 miles depending on day. I'm currently digging up your forum literature on 240V, EVSE cable setups, and lease deals. I'm looking at leasing the Leaf SV (2 year lease ideally) and talking to multiple dealerships right now (or rather they won't leave me alone). I'm also considering the Bolt (love the range) but the numbers don't make me happy so far. Why the SV? I want the 30KW battery and Carplay. Hoping that I can only charge once a day at home (8PM-6AM) but worst case scenario, there's a backup car.
As far as leases go, looking at a deal that says 3K down, 195 per month before interest. Going to see what Costco Auto buying discount will add (or rather subtract from) to that lease. May also consider 2016 SV versions if they are "nice enough".
