I surpassed 1,000 miles on my new 2013 Leaf (S) this week and couldn't be happier so far. I've been charging 110 in my garage at night. I have yet to charge to 100% and make my 34 mile round trip to work using roughly 30% of capacity. Loving the smooth quiet ride and peppy acceleration.
My mileage and range have exceeded my expectations. I averaged 4.8 miles/kwh for the first 1,000 miles, which equates to $0.02/mile in fuel costs. Though my highest daily mileage was 60 miles, it would seem reasonable for me to get 100 miles+ on a full charge with relative ease. Granted the weather the first two months of ownership has been relatively mild, the times I have used AC/heat have not seemed to dramatically reduce my range. Should also note that I've driven almost exclusively in ECO mode.
Hope EVs are here to stay this time around, because I don't ever see myself going back to gas.
