We will be receiving our Leaf the first part of April. We're getting this car for a daily commute of about 50 miles each way. While at work the Leaf will be plugged into 120 VAC for the day, and in the 10 hours or so that I'm there, It is my hope that it will go back to 100%.
The real question is this, I know that hills eat battery life. On this drive I'll be going over a 2,000 foot high hill / mountain each way, and then down the other side. I know the car will not get back what it expels, but I figure it will get something back at least. Most of the rest of the drive is reasonable flat, and will average 60 MPH. Like another user, I plan to drive the car, and use the heater and AC in the summer.
Can anyone give some insight if this will work out? Thanks in advance...
