I did my first electric car test drive at the CES convention in Vegas. It was the BMW i3, and WOW! is all I can say. Does the Leaf have the same pick up for those that have driven both. The car just flew off the line when I pressed the pedal, and when I took my foot off the pedal, it came to a complete stop in seconds. I never experienced anything like it. That was the most fun I have ever had in a car with all my clothes on.After my test drive, I cant help but see the demise of gas cars in 5 to 7 years if the price of both are close to equal, and you can get 150 to 200 miles on a charge. BMW gets it. No wonder they went full force into electric.
