On January 24th I picked up my shiny new Nissan Leaf. It was cold out, but no snow for the drive home. It took about an hour and half to work out all the paper work at the dealership and learn the basics of driving the Leaf. After all the excitement of picking up the Leaf I quickly made it up to the nearest Toys R Us to pick up a car seat for my son. With that out of the way I made it down to a mall about 15 minutes away an topped up the car as I had not installed the Level 2 charger at home. With the Car near full charge when I did get it home for the first night it did not take that long to charge it back up with the standard wall plus charger that came with the car.
I must say that driving the Leaf was fun and the car is quick and just drive amazing. The electric engine made no noise accept a little whistle when a pressed the acceleration as it started to pick up speed. After figuring out where everything was located the confidence level of driving this car from the future set in.
As a drive the car around for the next few days I will be updating the blog with any new developments or what I am discovering and learning about electric cars and living with one day to day.
