Hi everyone! I am ready to purchase the 2013 Leaf when it comes out, but I still have several questions about the car though.... Maybe someone can help me out?
1. On rainy days (or even stormy days with lightning, because I live in Florida,) is it safe to charge the LEAF in public while it's raining since most of the EV charging stations are outdoor? Is the water going to get into the charging port?
2. Can I have the car on while charging in public EV stations?
3. Any portable charger that I can buy in the event that my battery runs out completely?
4. Is there anything else that I need to worry about the car?
5. Forgot one more last question. In the state of Florida, I am still eligible for the 7,500 tax credit ??? I guess it will be for 2014 since I came in late.
That's all I have for now. Please advise.
Thank you very much!
Super excited future buyer =)
