Hello. My 1995 Volvo is dying and I'm looking for an orphan leaf, have a couple of leads but of course not much time to do research. I really liked the Leaf when I had the opportunity to test drive last week and we have another gas car so will be able to use the leaf for our city driving. I'm in Seattle. My questions
1. What is a reasonable dealer surcharge? So far have seen $2600 and $5000
2. It is going to take some time for me to make sense of the charging options. I have a request for information in to the EV project, what are the chances that I could get a free unit? I have a garage and my electric panels are in the garage so should be an easy install.
3. In the meantime, looks like it would be easy to get by with a 120v line? Most driving would be round trip to work, about 12-20 miles, car would have at least 12 hours to recharge.
4. Anything else I should know? How about dealer service, is there much variation between dealers and should that be an element of the buying decision?
Thank you!
