Cal, I have a 2013 Leaf S (which I know is not as efficient as an SL) My commute is 27 to 30 miles depending on traffic-avoidance maneuvers.
The 24 KWh battery is adequate for me in Spring, Summer, and Fall. In the winter, I use more local streets, I preheat the car and use seat warmers rather than "air conditioning heat". I am in a carpool, so I "offer" to drive the warmest day. I am discussing whether to buy a 2016 next month. I would probably lose a bit of money on the trade, and a 2016 is about a month from becoming deprecated, so I am really not sure. The one year that I need next year's car now, they are not coming out now. I showed my manager a picture of an outlet across the parking lot in the same office park. Clearly, if there is a will, there is a way to convince the Realty company to do it. My manager will ask the CIO to push for it. The Model 3 might be out before that :-) One day last week, I had to drive 2 days in a row, with only Level 1 charging over night...I left the office with 32 miles on the guess guage and 27 to go on Google Maps. I took local streets from my office for about the first 10 miles and I followed the 2 dots rule after that, and I got home with 10 on the guage (i.e., I saved 8 range miles) It's not fun to worry so much, but it did work. I have never gotten stuck, but I have come home on 0 a few times. I have used DC Quick Charging often, but it is either 6 miles out of the way to Nissan or $7 nrg. I hope this helps Seth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
