As topic I am very close to ordering a Leaf, for my commuter car so am researching all the breaks/incentives offered.
The main question/concern is do you have any options with the battery? As some probably know there old Rav4 EV uses NiMH and no memory degradation even today. Some even have 150k+ miles, so proven reliability.
I have also learned there has been advances to NiMH chemistry since then, and even greener since 100% recyclable.
I guess the question would be why isn't Nissan using these batteries or have they said anything about it? Perhaps a future option when building your car?
One other small thing, does the little solar panel option actually help? Thanks in advance!
