Car of the Future
Just LOVE the new car. It exceeds my expectations in all areas. I highly recommend buying an SPX Level 2 EVSE portable charger that can auto detect voltage. This also charges the Chevy Volt. I use it to charge my Nissa Leaf. Plugs into an outlet similar to a electric dryer outlet at home and similar ones at my businesses. As of 9-22-11, price $749 + S+H.
Check amount of Bars when Charged
I bought this car. Downside - it is electric and based on the amount of battery wear, it does not go very far before needing to be charged again. Mine said 50 miles when fully charged. Well, when you use the air conditioning, heater, lights, radio, they also consume the battery charge. Beware - I was only able to go to the hardware store and back before needing to charge again. This is a car for short errands around town only.

Experience after 2 months
Ok, I've had a leaf for about 2 months now. Admittedly, I also have a gas car, which I use when I need to go out of town. That said, the Leaf is the primary vehicle being driven about twice the miles as the gas car. Overall, Nissan did an excellent job. I could complain about a number of things but I'll focus on the essentials instead. 1. Plugging in at night is no problem. It takes about 15 seconds - and another 15 in the morning. 2. Acceleration is great. The specs are above. But, from observing the Leaf's kilowatt meter, it appears Nissan restricted the acceleartion (probably for safety). Instead of immediately pegging at 80kw (the top of the meter), it... (see forum)
