I'll stand up for Nissan, too. I have a thousand complaints but I think,
overall, they did a great job. What really matters is whether you want
to be an early adopter and take some risk.

Compliance car?
We have had three Leafs. The 2012 Leaf had a bad battery. We turned
it back in. Our 2013 Leaf has normal battery degradation. We can
still eek out a hundred miles range on the freeway. This is at 42k
miles. Still very useful. Our 2016 Nissan is still showing 150 miles
range at times and this is driven miles plus guessometer. On our last
trip to Southern California from San Francisco we went from Salinas to
San Luis Obispo 135 miles and still had 20 percent left. The 30 kw
Leaf is fantastic. The IMEV simply in it's original configuration does
not meet our needs Nissan has made the effort to improve the
batteries of their cars. The IMEV in my opinion is an embarrassment to
the EV design community. We paid 14k for the 2013 with 2,600 miles on
the clock. The 30kw was EVen better at 13,550. We will buy this car
after the lease. Sorry you had a bad experience with your Leaf but
almost everyone with a 2011 or 2012 had a bad experience. We also
needed fast charging. I don't believe the IMEV has fast charging. The
IMEV is a putt putt for city use similar to a smart car. Every car has
it's mission but to compare an IMEV to a Nissan Leaf is to compare a
Nissan Leaf to a Tesla. In price/performance the Leaf is a clear
winner. It gets me where I want to go. It is comfortable. It is
inexpensive. I don't care how it looks David. I just wish it had the
aerodynamics of a Hyundai. Lawrence Rhodes
