You'll need to charge at work in order to make the round trip and, from
time to time, have some excess for a lunch run-around or detours on the
way home.
I have a 2011 Leaf and have found it completely reliable and fine. (Some
gripes, but overall very good.) However, the range decreases
significantly in winter (Seattle) with the A/C and heat on to keep the
humidity down. Also the battery in my model is unheated. My range in
summer is probably about 70+. In winter I get 50ish on a full charge.
You will probably get better mileage than I since you will have a
significant portion on freeway whereas most of my driving is stop & go
at 25-30 mph.

Hi, folks,
I just got a new job, which is going to have me making changes.
So far, my commute has been adequately met by my GEM e2.
Now I'm looking at 42 miles one way, mainly freeway with a bit of stop
and go at the end.
I'm thinking that, while this might be pushing it a bit, a 2013+ Nissan
Leaf SL might just make it, and I'm liking the pricing I see on used
ones with under 30k miles.
Am I being foolish? What else should I be careful to observe should I
try to buy one?
Thanks!
Best regards,
