OK, here is my situation. I have a daily commute of 70 miles one way. From west LA to San Juan Capistrano. I currently have a Lexus Rx 400h, and spend about $1000/no on gas. I had a Prius gen 2 before, but I had to sell it. Now I can set it up to where I have 240 chargers on each end of my trip. My question is this trip feasable with the Leaf, considering I might have to out some wight on it midway on my trip. I read that the new 2014 model has a range of 85 miles. Is this close to the truth. My goal is to have a ev that is a hatchback. From what I've read the leaf is the best, but I am also waiting on the KIA soul even. Another reason is to get access to the carpool lane, but I don't feel like spending 30 grand on a Prius phev or a volt and still buying gas. So please any honest suggestion would be appreciated.
I considered leasing the rav ev, but they have only 12000 miles per year option and I will eat through that in 5 months.
Thanks for the help in advance.
