Hi guys,
I want to try an used electric car for my daily 60 miles roundtrip commute and I need your advice.
I don't wanna' break the bank for my first electric car so do you think a 2012 Nissan Leaf can do that? Even in the winter?
I live in a mountain area so there is no highway, only curvy roads and in the winter the temps can go down as low as 0 Fahrenheit but not very often. The average temp in winter is 30 to 20 Fahrenheit.
I'm thinking to charge the car only at work where is a free level 2 charger.
From work I will climb slowly for 24 miles and the last 6 miles are on a very descent downhill where I can put some juice in the batteries.
Back from home I will really climb those 6 miles but the next 24 miles are only downhill where again I can save some power.
What do you think? Can a used Leaf do that? Which year I should consider?
Thank's in advance guys!
