Hey all,
Forgive me if I use any incorrect terminology here (e.g. charger) as I am not a leaf owner yet but hope to be in the next week.
I was all but sold on the 2013 Leaf S. It seemed like a great balance between price and mileage for most. I then realized though that the Leaf S doesn't have the quick charge feature though, which I believe could be a game changer in the coming months.
A bit about me...
Currently I have a 2001 Honda Insight (2 seater hybrid) and I live in Chicago. I'm getting transferred to Fort Worth TX and because of the lack of public transportation, I will need a second car. The leaf will mainly be used for my 5 mile commute 4 days a week, plus the odd trip into the city or to dinner/groceries. I'm married and plan on having kids within the next year or so, and that would mean that the leaf could potentially become the family car since my other car is only a 2 seater.
Ok, so now that you know a bit about me and what I'll be using this car for, I have a question regarding the charging.
Do you all believe that it's worth the extra 2k dollars to get the quick charge by upgrading to an SL or SV? What are the differences in all the charging options with the different leafs (a 2016 is out of my price range, I'm hoping to spend less than 12k). Which leafs have which options?
What am I missing that you want to tell a soon to be leaf owner?
Thanks so much for the help, and let me know if you need any more information to help answer my questions
