Three Months With My Nissan Leaf


It's been about three months since I brought the Nissan Leaf home. In those three months I have used the Leaf as my main vehicle. There were a few times that I needed a gasoline powered car. It's not that I could have not made the trip in the Leaf it had more to do with the lack of charging stations. This made it difficult to plan a trip. Even with the wait for the charging it still would have been possible. On the occasions that I did need a gas powered car it felt very strange to drive a car that needed gasoline, you have to remember that it's been three months without adding any gasoline I almost forgot that I used to do this every other day. Driving electric has been a great experience and I know that I want to drive an electric car for the rest of my life. At this point in the game there only thing that I would like to see if more charging stations in public places. With more chargers in place I think some of my range anxiety would also go away.
