What if you lose power at home, how do you recharge it? Some of the
numbers that are being touted for the Leaf are skewed to the high
side, just like gasoline vehicles.<br>

your Leaf to recharge is convenient if it fits your
lifestyle. But what if you want to make a 200 mile trip to
the Farm Progress Show where I doubt you will find
recharging stations while you roam the show then return home
the same day, particularly if you want the comfort of your
A/C or heater which a friend reports reduces the advertised
range by 1/3 if used?</div>

there was no way I could finish that last pass across the
yard, at least not for a couple hours even though it took
only 5 sec. to plug it in. When I realized the batteries
weren't going last forever, I decided it was time to let
someone else worry about having to replace them.</div>

Tesla's truck is $10k less than a comparable F-150.
Chevrolet's Bolt (car) is about $10k more than a
comparable gas car. My Nissan Leaf charges in the 5
seconds it takes me to plug it in when I get home. I
don't have to stand there and watch it charge. I also
refuse to accept less convenience and less utility for
higher cost. Which is why I'm converting my fleet
from gas to electric as quickly as I can afford it
(not very quickly). Honestly, I'm keen to convert my
old Ford tractor to electric. I'm tired of schlepping
gas from the gas station for it. Or roading it to the
gas station to fill it up. Which I should probably do
today - a storm is expected....</span></div>
