Probably 30-35mph avg. Have to go speed limit on 95th and 87th and 103rd streets. Get past Renner Rd on Prairie Star PKWY you can get away with 35 in a 45 and neutral all the down hills because of limited traffic. Once you're past K-7 you can 20-25 the rest through the circle thingies then 20 through all the circles on Clare from 95th to 87th while in neutral, slight downhill because 0 traffic.

cdherman said:A KC Leaf event would be appreciated this Summer. Maybe we could even host at my place and everyone could get some solar electrons for the trip back home! Just a thought.... I have enough 220V plugs that with some of the portable EVSE's we could get as many as three charging at once. Might be a hoot....

The AC works really well and cools the car pretty quickly. No complaints here. You'll find comments on the forum about how well it works and how little energy it uses (yep, you'll freeze).DaveInKansas said:Question - does the AC keep your red Leaf cool enough in the summer?

Yes. I typically have the temp as cold as it will go and then have the fan as low as it will go. But when I need to I blast it too. The a/c in the Leaf is the opposite of the heater. Very efficient.
DaveInKansas said:I'd be very interested in a Leaf meet in the KC area. I'd like to meet everyone. And speaking of a meet, I received a postcard from Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village announcing their annual ice cream social and car show next Sunday, June 23. This year they are featuring electric cars. I contacted the organizers and will have my Leaf in it. Since it is still new and clean it shouldn't require much to make it look presentable. If any of you are in the area, feel free to stop by. The postcard says it runs from 4:00 to 6:00PM.
