Hey all,
I've been following this forum since I was about 15, when I seriously started believing in the EV Revolution. Since I'll be going away to college in less than a year, I have been debating in my head whether or not to get an '11-'15 Chevy Volt or a '11-15 Nissan Leaf, used of course. I have taken into consideration the decreased battery life and heat problems that might arise from living in the LA basin and decreased flexibility of having an all electric vehicle, but I hate the thought of having to pay for gas, no matter how long the time in between fill-ups.
I understand the inevitable bias that will come from posting on this forum instead of the Chevy Volt forums, but am leaning toward the Leaf for the lower price initially. Will love to hear your thoughts and please ask questions if you have any
