For example, the normal mileage rating for the Leaf - according to both the EPA and Nissan - is right at 100 miles per charge. In the sweltering Texas heat, my local dealer tells prospective Leaf buyers to expect about 50 miles per charge."
Its good that the dealer tells them that, they will be happier owners than those that expected a 100 mile commute without recharging.

I'll agree with that. Most highways around here in DF/W are going about 70 to 75 mph. Even the right lane is going at or above the speed limit. Running at that speed with the A/C or heater full blast will severely limit the range.
IBELEAF said:50 miles range is what I've been getting with my normal driving during winter in my area, so I that's exactly what I've been telling people to expect in terms of range. If someone decided to buy one based on my recommendation they would only be pleasantly surprised if they get more then 50 miles in winter months.
It is 75 for one stretch now. It will going to 75 in a lot more places: http://www.txdot.gov/news/002-2012.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;EdmondLeaf said:what I can say Texas State Troopers like I35 very much, and max is still 70 mph with 60 mph in quite few places
