In Norway the price of gasoline is today in excess of usd 12,- pr gallon, and we are a oil producing country as well. And this is what gasoline should cost in USA too. Also, the incentives for EV's are fantastic: No import taxes, no 25% MVA, usd 70,-/year road tax (as opposed too usd 475,-) ...

The price in Sweden will be about $100k..

Same thing I do. Uses the car at around freezing, and this keeps me warm without any fogging.

I would of course go for the Leaf. I live in Norway and I think 70 miles should be well within the limits even i wintertime. But of course, if you could charge at your client then that will be the better option as you could charge only to 80% and give your battery an easier life. What puzzles me...

If my wife was in the picture instead of that girl you wouldn't see the car.. :D Hope she's not reading in here ! :?

No. There is a hidden capacity in the battery and the Leaf will not let you go all the way down to 0% to avoid damage.

I would also like to know if the heated seats are reset to off if the car is turned off. I like this better. I have a Toyota with a simple switch that is either on or off, and I do not like the heating in the seats unless it is very cold. My wife uses it all the time. In my BMW it has to be...

As I have stated earlier. The Leaf was officially introduced in Norway oct 8th. On the oct 11th more than 600 was sold. And they are beeing delivered in huge numbers here now. And remember we are a tiny country.. (4,5mill polulation). I am quite sure the Leaf will sell in the area of 2000 cars...
