    @quaxk The Leaf can be programmed to pre-heat/cool at night before you start driving, extending your range. In Portland, there are 12 charging stations available throughout the city. Nike (where I work) has a recharging station so I can even get a quick-charge during the day at work. The Leaf offers an ideal no-emission, low-cost commute in Portland. Moreover, 40% of the grid is powered by clean hydroelectric dams and wind farms, which is fantastic!

    @97169144 Besides increasing the cost of the car (panels are not cheap), the steel roof improves the ability of the car to retain heat/cool air inside the cabin, reducing the amount of energy required to maintain a comfortable cabin. An all-glass solar panel style roof would not be as efficient and very expensive to mass produce.

    @PathogenVirdae Forty percent of the grid in Oregon comes from clean hydroelectric dams and wind farms, so driving a Leaf in Portland is much cleaner (and cheaper) compared to filling up a guzzler every week with expensive gasoline. Reducing emissions not only helps the global environment, it cleans up the air we breath every day in town. I am sick and tired of breathing that carbon monoxide cloud we all commute in every day. My Leaf will be black. Thank you, Nissan!

    I’ll wait until you guys have bought up the 1st generation to discuss the errors and what needs to be improved, I’ll settle for 2nd or 3rd generation 5 or 6 years from now
