Thank you! I have found all you suggested to be true...

Hi, I just bought a 2022 Leave SV Plus. The Charge Timer forces a start time, so I am not sure how to make it finish charging just before the end time, which I think is preferred in sub 32 weather? Should I set start time 15 minutes before end time so the car automatically overrides the...

Thank you..

Agreed.... thanks. I will report back how it is working out if I can still access this thread a couple of months from now...

Sorry, posted same twice. Deleted text..

Hi, There are level 2 charging stations along the route, but no CHAdeMO. I agree with you though, I want to do the right thing for the environment, but my original intent was to save money. No point on spending 50,000 on an electric car that would otherwise cost 25,000. I have decided to...

I think I got it on the quotes... Thanks... Also thank you everyone for the great information. Maybe the SV plus is going to be the best choice for me... It sounds like the SV plus is the way to go during the MA shoulder weeks... January and February are probably where the S-Plus might get...

Hi, Thanks for the sharing your experience and commute data and your confidence that I will make it work. You nailed it... Sorry I am lousy at posting in these forums. I do not know how to quote but will go out of my way to learn how tomorrow. In your post you mentioned that a leaf model sv...

Just to be clear, I realize that in the couple each making 51,000 scenario, they would not have enough of a tax burden to take advantage of the the full 7500 anyway, unless filing jointly, which actually makes me understand this proposed change even less..

Having spent a couple years in Branson MO, I can definitely understand how dangerous the smallest of snow storms are. You make a good point about the mild heat and battery degradation in MA. I agree that the battery would have longer life here than warmer climates. Thanks for pointing that...

I noticed that someone recommended the PHEV. Unfortunately, PHEV is not cost effective if mostly highway miles. I drive a 2020 Nissan Sentra right now and I get 32 +/- MPG using the $20,000 car. The PHEV does better, but not enough better to justify the extra cost of the car, especially since...

Hi, Thank you all for your feedback and sorry for some of my inaccuracies. I was researching and posting at using just a smart phone so my figures were hard to verify side by side. I now understand that the batteries are kWh (not KW) and that the Kona gets 258 miles, not 279. Thanks for...

Thank you, I think it may end up being worth the extra $$$ to get Hyundai Kona with 279 mile range. Unfortunately, they are impossible to get right now and I'm not sure if they will be available by end of year. Based in the advice here, I have reservations about the leaf s plus range...

Hi, The 2022 Leaf S Plus with a 62 kW battery has an advertised range of 225 +/- miles. I live in Massachusetts and winter temperatures are often in the mid 20's. My commute is 110 miles round trip and I often need to travel no more than 160 miles per day on a single charge from home, year...
