After reading all these, I decided against a Leaf. I've been looking into a Prius and I've found a few that are decent. I don't know if the Volt is newer, but I can only find used back to 2012 and they're much more expensive.
I'm thinking of getting a used 2011 Nissan Leaf (possibly a 2012) and I'm not sure if I'll make it back and forth to work. I'll be working about 52 miles away, each trip. I've been looking into portable chargers and at-home charging stations. I'll be in Ohio, with snow and rain and bad weather...
