Welcome to my very first post on my blog about driving a 2016 Nissan Leaf. Since I bought it in April 2016 so many people have been curious about what it is like to own one that I thought I'd start this blog and share my experiences. I hope that this may encourage others to consider going full electric for their daily commute.<br />
<br />
<b>I'll start by answering the top four questions that I get:</b><br />
<br />
#1: Yes it is fully electric, no gasoline at all. None, nada. Not a hybrid. Gas stations are for tire pressure and snacks only.<br />
#2 : Yes I love it! It's been great to drive on my daily commute and I don't regret buying it at all.<br />
#3 : Yes I did have to have a special charger installed in my garage. I'll dedicate a full post to that soon.<br />
#4 : On average it requires about $45 per month in electricity. I typically drive 60-80 miles per week day. I can share a full breakdown of that in a separate post.<br />
<br />
<b>The basic facts:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Model : 2016 Nissan Leaf<br />
