My story, VW is buying back my TDI and I'm considering a used Leaf for my commute.
I've done some research and it looks like a 2013+ with the 6.6kw charger is the one to get ..
My commute to work is 25 miles, all freeway. In AZ we get an HOV plate with electric cars, so picking up a leaf is tempting.
My concern is will a leaf be able to do a 50 mile round trip commute at all freeway speeds (68 MPH) without having to charge at work? We don't have any EV chargers at the office, so it's important that this this car can do the 50 mile RT without plugging in anywhere.
Is this easily do-able , or is this distance on the edge?
