Having driven a Leaf for 3 years
Totally OT, but how have you found it? I keep toying with the idea of an ev solely for my commute (50miles each way, free charging at work) once we move and having something more fun for all the other times I want a car.
I had a leaf for 3 years as well and I never got over the range anxiety. 50miles each way is fine as long as you can charge at both ends and is the sort of range I think the cars were designed for. Despite the claimed range of my leaf I never got ANY where near it and on occasion could empty the "tank" in as little as 45 - 50 miles (70-80 is more normal depending on the driving style and terrain)
We were sold on the range being in excess of 100 miles and that's what the dealer told us so we always thought we would drive over to Newcastle from Penrith and charge it at my parents before coming home again - we never once attempted that because of the lack of charge points on the A69 (other than Hexham which never seems to work when checking).
Would I have one again - yes but only when the range get MUCH better because for knocking round the doors and local commutes etc its brilliant and there is nothing like sneaking up behind a workmate and blasting the horn.
Cheers
