2015 Nissan Leaf Hatchback SV 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
electric car
 The range is limited by cold weather.  Takes out about 35% of range, if temperature below 30.  In the 2016 model range is increased by 23 miles so this will help.  I still love the car but you need a second car for long trips.Fast charging is a problem for long trips.  Only Tesla has the infrastructure.  However, for a commuter the Nissan works well.  And best of all the only maintenance is to rotate the tires.  That's it.  Now that Nissan has a car with 150 miles range the commuting ability is much better.  And in 2018 model the range is said to go beyond 200 miles.  Tesla has cars with range of 350, but who can afford them at $130,000 for the Model S.  The Model 3 will be under $50,000, so they are getting realistic for most of us.  But Nissan still best value.
