Great forum! Been reading for a week or so and decided to join.
I live in rural Arizona (Northeastern Arizona). I live in a small tourist community called Show Low (elevation 6500 ft ASL). I just found out I was offered a job at a Indian Health Services Hospital which is about 35 miles from my residence. This daily commute would be 4 days a week x 52 weeks a year with approximate 10 hours a day spent at work. I used Google Maps to plan my commute so I know the distance and elevation changes. The trip from my door to the hospital is 33.9 miles. From my home to the highest point along the trip is an elevation gain of 1,200 feet and this is done over an 18 mile stretch. From this point, I descend 2,200 feet for another 16 miles. Of course, the return trip would be just the opposite (2,200 ft ascent for 16 miles and 1,200 ft descent for 18 miles.) The total commute is going to be 68 miles.
I am not sure if I'll have charging options at work, but because of my status at work, I'm sure they would provide me with charging of some kind (even if its 120V).
BTW, approximately 3 months out of the year, the low temp is 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit and the other 9 months of the year are moderate with the low in the 50's and highs in the 90's.
Considering purchasing a 2015 Nissan Leaf S. Is this doable?
