Two months ago, I bought a new to me 2012 Chevy Volt, installed a 240 outlet for charging, and now I'm eagerly awaiting my wife's purchase of a Tesla 3 (we've made a deposit...not early, but we're probably somewhere in the middle of those who signed on).
Anyway, I really like driving my Volt in EV mode, and am considering a trade to a 2015 Leaf. My dilemma: I'm currently driving 90 miles round trip 4 days per week, but would have access to a quick charger at a dealership nearby to the location I am driving. I anticipate between 2 and 6 more months of this type of driving.
After that, my driving habits would be around 40 miles per day round trip. I live near Charlotte, so winter temps shouldn't be too much of an issue on range.
My new car self thinks I can make it work, but my practical side says wait. I wanted your thoughts. Given current prices, I really am tempted to go all in, and the Leaf would allow me to do just that.
I wanted the opinion of the experts here.
thanks much for any and all opinions...pro and con.
