Has anyone explored what happens if you move soon after buying/leasing a LEAF (<36months)? This seems to be much more complicated than with an ICE vehicle.
1) Charging. If you have a charger installed in your home, is it as simple as installing a 220v plug in the new location (provided the home can handle the other electrical requirements) and plugging in the charger? What happens if you are involved with Ecotality or some other federal program (Can you keep the hardware?)
2) Taxes and rebates. What happens with the federal $7500 (buy or lease)? What about state incentives (such as the $5000 CA)?
3) Range. If the range no longer works for some reason (lack of infrastructure, longer commute, etc). What is involved with selling the vehicle or getting out of the lease before the end of the 36 months? Is this basically like any other ICE vehicle?
4) Any other issues people can think of.
Thanks.
