Nice to see they are starting to realize what we all know.

"Trips longer than that are impractical in the Leaf, because it takes about 6 hours to recharge before going the next 75 miles."

Still the writer would appear to be reading from a manual and does not seem to have actual experience.

And CR talks about reduced maintenance.... get busy and crunch some actual numbers already.
