Looking at something for my wife. Any experience either good or bad with these new hybrid/electric cars? Usually only 30 miles per day driving or less.
Don't want an electric 914, I like the one I have with an aircooled engine. Tom |

^ pretty much the truth. When it comes down to it my dad was more excited about the car because he helped with the development of the j1772 charger standard, than actually being green or saving money. He has a he metering system that monitors electrical load consumption and data logging but that load from the leaf has been negligible. If he had a payment on the leaf the amount of money spent on gas for the suburban would pay for it.
