i thought running a leaf was costing u money. happy for u really if it helped u commute. a Tesla can live with chargers stationed each 400km, but a leaf wont make it. it requires a charging station each 100km. cool for commutes, but how about trips ? (cool, u already are aware of it) so hopefully more charging stations become built to support the leaf. for places where gasoline costs about 4$/galon and beyond, evs becomes more suitable i agree. where i live we have 3$/gal for gasoline, 2.4$/gal for diesel. probably prices are double this in the us or europe
