“Nah, it only gets close to that number in absolute worst case scenarios. In the United States, at least, the roundtrip commute of 78% of Americans is less than 40 miles, so it still works great as a commuter car in a two-car household.”
I call BS on that. Test it when it’s 10 deg F outside with the heater and defrost running full blast and the headlights on. 25 miles or so and it will be stone dead, if it even makes it that far.
Yep. See the link in post 4.
Williams - like all car reviewers who must praise the cars or manufacturers will cut them off - must have had a hell of a time trying to write the nice things he did about the Leaf.
If it were me - I’d have used the heater and when the damn thing died - I’d call my wife to come get me, and would have called the Nissan rep to tell him where the useless POS was so he could send a tow truck.
I'll see your B.S. and call you on double B.S. Your estimate of 25 miles is one-third of the EPA rated range, which is a fraction that has never been reported on for any electric car.
Can you site a source, any source, any at all, that shows someone getting one-third the rated range in an electric car? Just one will suffice.
