The main problem with the new leaf is the lack of battery cooling. After 3 (sometimes 2) rapid charges in a day the battery is at max temperature and the charge rate drastically reduces.

Unless you already have a CHAdeMO V2G charger, I recommend choosing an EV with battery cooling (almost all of them). You can probably find one with more features and longer range for a lower price than a new Leaf.

If you aren't planning on using the car enough to worry about battery overheating, and you enjoy the test drive, it's not actually a bad car. Just a little overpriced.

It is a Leaf.

When the battery does eventually die, I'll be looking at EVs enhanced for an upgrade. The car is too nice to throw away.

I also have a 62kWh Leaf E+ for highway driving. It's ok, but the older Leafs (from before the refresh) are much more fun to drive, have more storage space, a tighter turning circle, and are much better value for money. I would recommend almost any EV instead of buying a new Leaf. (Maybe not the Hummer EV).

I agree with Steve, it is a good morning.

Large trucks (semi-truck, big-rig, 18-wheeler, etc.) cause around 200,000 times the damage to roads per distance driven than cars.

Even accounting for the lower number of trucks than cars, in Australia trucks cause around 50,000 times more damage to roads per year than cars.
In Australia, commercial trucks pay less fuel excise per litre than cars.
