I've been driving a Honda Civic Hybrid for 8 years. Lately I've been interested in getting an EV. I was deciding between the Volt and the Leaf up until a few weeks ago. Crossed the Volt off my list after reading a bunch of reviews and getting the most disinterested sales person at a Chevy dealer. Instead of him giving me all the info he knew, he just stood there and only talked if I asked him a question. I couldn't even drive it because it was not charged.
So I've decided on the Leaf. Have read a lot of good things about it. I test drove it for the first time and really loved it. I understand my driving habits will need to change if I want to take a long trip (that is very rare and usually my partner does the driving in his car). How quickly can you charge your Leaf at a charging station you find at a parking garage or restaurant? I can do round trip to and from work and charge overnight (we have an empty 210 plug int he garage so thinking about buying a charge station but that is for alter) but if I have a day of driving I'd like to know how much time I might need to allow it to charge before I can take off for home.
Thanks for your help. I am really looking forward to my new car soon. -Reid
