I have driven a Leaf, in good weather it is fine, nice smooth acceleration and very quiet. Had an occasion to use it on a cold dark winters morning the gauge indicated it was good for 80 miles, my trip was only 32 miles and I had a charging facility at my destination. En route I had to take a detour because of road works I was using lights, wipers and the air con was automatic and I couldn’t find a way to switch it off the detour added another 8 miles to the journey and I only just made it I had less than 3 miles of power left.
The Leaf was bought by my employer for employees doing an 80 mile return trip between two work locations. In the summer this was fine but traffic hold ups in cold dark conditions the mileage often tumbled necessitating a recharge to complete the trip with confidence.
I personally would like an electric vehicle but I feel I suffer from range anxiety and the charge point availability coupled with charge time means I must wait until technology advances.
