I am on the verge of buying a 2012 Leaf SL (great deal right now) as my commuter vehicle and looking to make sure I don't have unrealistic expectations.
My situation is this:
Does this seem reasonable? Can I expect to have at least that much range even on the hottest or coldest days with climate control on? And after 5 years when capacity has dropped a little?
I am excited about the prospect of having an electric car, hoping it does not cloud my judgement!
My situation is this:
- 50 km commute each way (~62 miles total)
- 60 - 80 kph speeds, rural roads (40-50 mph)
- No charging at work, at least not yet
- Southern Ontario, so summer and winter conditions
- I have another family car for long trips
- Assuming I would have the car for 4-5 years
