Leaf is a fantastic car!
We got our Leaf in June of 2011, 19K trouble free miles so far. It is powered by our home solar array so we have spent zero on electricity. We have made some long trips using the West Coast Green Highway network of fast charge stations. 676 miles round trip though the Christmas holiday. Mostly it just does my wife's 28 mile commute which is easily done. This big price cut will make the Leaf even more affordable to the masses. The Leaf can become your primary vehicle for 95% of all your trips, 100% of your trips if you live in the Northwest. Take your other gas car for longer trips. We have two EVs now and don't own any internal combusion cars. We put about 25K miles on our EVs a year, all on sunshine.
