$1000 charging time? That's gotta be like 5-6 years of free driving! In my moderate commute, at 2-cents/Km, I calculate I' use about 50 cents/day max. Less than $200/year!
So awesome man. I am still in the beginning phase of acquiring my first Leaf, and towing a trailer will be a MUST. I am coming from a 5.7L Dodge RAM. I've never been more excited for a car purchase!
