Hello all,
Purchased new 2014 SV with Nav/Bose a couple of weeks ago.
I have been very happy with the car so far.
I bought it as a commuter car but did take a leap of faith that it could meet my expectation of getting
back and forth on my daily commute of 30mi each way with no access to workplace charging. So 12.5 hrs of home trickle charge is not quite making it. Not withstanding reduced speeds and frugal use of AC in Hotlanta.
I have already committed to Level 2 charge solution which I am working on this week.
Any potential Leaf owners/lessee should take note that any significant commute should be ready to adapt to the need for a recharge solution that will probably involve Level 2 charging method.
The benefits still outweigh some of the inconveniences especially when you consider the tax credits from state and federal. Hopefully I can also get my employer involved as others I work with have expressed interest in an electric vehicle.
I can really see the EV taking off if they increase range, build a charging infrastructure, and develop faster charging solutions. The technology is already here, making it affordable and available is all that's left.
Thanks to all the many Leaf owners that have contributed to this site as it is a wealth of great information.
