Steven Lough – “To convert a gas car to electric, is the highest form of recycling.”

Chad Hohn – “I haven’t paid for gas in 2 years!”

May 19, 2014April 9, 2017 admin Nissan

I have driven over 26,000 miles in just under 2 years. The most exciting part of owning a Leaf is the fact that it has so much available instant torque. Oh, did I mention it is up to date with Bluetooth music and calling, backup camera, USB ports, LED headlights, and a solar panel on the spoiler to charge the 12v battery that runs electronics inside.

Kenneth Johnsen – “I changed from my belief that hydrogen would eventually power our cars.”

February 26, 2014April 9, 2017 admin Tesla

I have never enjoyed a car as much as I am enjoying my Model S. I still have the S-10EV and the Leaf–can’t bear to part with them–but the Tesla is the car of the future. With its 300 mile range, my driving is not confined to the Seattle area anymore. I love it!!

Mark and Sara Schiller – “We absolutely love our Leaf!”

February 26, 2014April 9, 2017 admin Leaf

We typically drive the Leaf about 25 miles a day during the work week and plug the Leaf into our garage’s 110V outlet at around 7pm every other night and leave it plugged in until about 7am the next morning. With that we get about a 60% charge which can power us for three days comfortably. So far we have never needed to charge the Leaf outside our house.

Grace Reamer – “I Was A Late Adopter, until EVs”

February 26, 2014April 9, 2017 admin Coda

I still remember my first time behind the wheel of an EV. I was unprepared for the dramatic difference from driving a gasoline car. As soon as your foot touches the accelerator, it is uncanny to feel such power catapulting you forward, instantly and silently, without the roar of a gasoline engine. This must be what it’s like in a rocket headed to the moon.
