I just recently leased a leaf, and my experience is that it felt quite haphazard. The functioning of the car, features, limitations, charging station installation, and other things were not thoroughly explained by the salesperson. It would have taken an hour for all the novelty of an electric car to be explained, and I admit would have been very tiring for the salesperson and non-techsavvy customers. I believe this shortcoming can be dealt with for the most part by making an introduction video and a leaf owner video and letting people visit the site and peruse it at their own leisure, and let salespeople tell customers that if there was anything the salesperson forgot to go over with the owner that they could also refer to the videos online if they prefer.
Operating an electric car can be very similar to operating an ICE car, but there are some significant differences and things to consider. Someone who doesn't know much about electric cars is naturally hesitant about it because he doesn't understand it yet. If Nissan made a 1 hour introduction of the operation and advantages/disadvantages of an electric car and posted it on the main Nissan website, it could allow many people to become more familiar with electric cars and alleviate their fears about the new car technologies. Then there could be an additional hour-long video that gives Leaf owner instructions like how to protect battery longevity, techniques for maximizing range, navigation system, maintenance overview, and charging options and garage/parking lot charging station installation process, etc.
