I'm a bit surprised, I thought you were a pretty well established journalist "over there". I encourage you to post about your movements, etc.
I'm not personally in the market for any Leaf cells. I was depending on my early (2011?) Leaf to give me a range of 70+ miles. When it dropped from about 90 miles to about 60 miles (20k miles, ~400 cycles, horrible Texas summer), it became useless to me. Of course, I was disgusted to learn that Nissan was forcing owners to sue to get warranty service. I'm now using an imiev but only as a second car; it has given me about 65 miles for 10k miles. So, it could still go the way of the Leaf but imiev longevity reports have been good. Not so with Leafs, though it does seem they fare well in cool climates. A negative on the imiev is the lack of service; I have to go ~200 miles to buy one. I don't buy cars with the intention of needing service. We do have Leaf dealers near me. I've heard reports of them charging Leaf owners for oil changes. So, I don't feel too deprived not having nearby imiev service; I may be better off without it. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
