You might also consider the i-Miev, if it suits your needs. It has a
smaller motor - reviewers say it isn't really powerful enough for the
freeway - and a smaller battery than the Leaf. However it's $5K or $6K
cheaper.
I see someone selling a used one in Albuquerque for $17K.

I bought a Leaf in 2011 - at the time, the price difference wasn't so
big and I figured the Leaf was a better deal. But with the current
pricing, the i-Miev is attractive.

I recommend a Nissan Leaf. It's not a compliance car and you should be
able to get one where you are.
As for maintenance and repairs, I don't think that is going to be much
of an issue. My Leaf is almost three years old with 33,700 miles. The
only maintenance or repairs it has needed are a pair of tires two weeks
ago, I went to a tire shop rather than a Nissan dealer.

in new mexico is my only option to buy one in CA and drive/transport
it to NM? once in NM will the local dealerships provide support such
as maintenance or repairs?
