75% battery life on a car that has a 90 mile range? Talk about range anxiety! I'm not sure who looks at those cars, but they sure don't use cars like I do.

I don't even commute and I can't imagine the stress of driving something like that.



In the Bay Area it's never really an issue because of quick charging. 30 minutes gets you an 80% charge from 0. When you realize that point-to-point the longest possible drive around here is ~40 miles, and there is guaranteed to be a quick charger within a few miles of your destination, it changes things. I admit it's a total mindset shift from driving an ICE but I love it.

When the 2016 ones go off lease it should help a little: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf#2016_model_year


It would be fine for my wife, she drives 30 miles every day, either commuting or shopping.
