@solidenber They've already done testing for the LEAF and stated: Batteries will have 80% capacity after 5 years of use & 70% after 10 years of use. IMO, maintenance and chances of a "break down" are a lot "HIGHER" for a gas engine. Reason being? not only do you have an alternator that can go bad, but you have belts, spark plugs, distributor caps, an numerous other things "extra" that can go wrong.. but, only time will tell. a Lithiom-ION is a lot different than a traditional 12V car battery.

i hate it when my alternater breaks and i'm running my car off my shitty battery already. i dont think i am going to feel better when my car ONLY runs on a battery. call me a hatter or the enviroment but i'll wait until something more dependable comes out.

Interesting... user "aikeno7777" is just a "regular guy" and posted below but if you click on his username his "Channel is not available". That could mean he is underage (and not exactly informed yet) or he is one of those paid liars. Actually, paid liars (from big oil) spend more time posing as "regular guys" who love horsepower, smoke, etc.
Swapping a depleted battery for a charged battery and paying for Just the Charge makes sense (see my post, below) but Oil Companies hate and block it.

You are absolutely right!!!

we're still trying to ween ourselves off gas. while some may be able tp go cold turkey and use an electric car right away, i believe the volt is a good transition until we reach the point, technology wise, when we can go cross country in a full electric vehicle.

volt does not compete with the leaf,GM dropped the ball with ev1 There could have been charging stations every where now had GM not dropped the ball.

i cant drive to my parents place for holidays in the leaf,, leaf looses

@ikalinin its no regular hybrid like prius it can go as much a leaf on electric power then goes on gas its almost the same but your not always nervous in the volt since you have backup gas

SIMPLY PUT, if you already have one gas car in the family the Leaf is a good choice for a second car. I'm a single guy with only one car in my arsenal so the Leaf would be a bad purchase in the fact that I can't go long range, So the Volt is a better fit for single car families, or individuals.
The Chevy chick was hotter... Chevy wins
