It is a small market. To those who want a car solely to commute less than 30 miles in a city. Buying an all electric car is puzzling to me.

Even if I lived within 30 miles of work, and had free charging at work...buying the Leaf is still puzzling to me. I would have uber range anxiety in extreme winter weather...especially if I needed to expend precious battery juice to defrost the window, etc.

But to me the real fear is that the battery will act like every other battery I’ve ever owned...and gradually lose its ability to recharge fully. Sooner or later, my 30 mile commute is going to give me range anxiety..and I’ll eventually have to buy a new battery.
