And I'm not talking about the awkward times I've actually driven the LEAF to a gas station to get an inspection sticker or fill up the gas can for my snow blower. I'm talking about the paradigm shift in how you think of when and where you refuel an electric car.

It's My Way or The Highway
Today it was the highway. To work and back on the Mass Pike and 128 (95 to non-natives). No back roads. I tend to commute off hours and so can travel at actual highway speeds.
We're out of the Polar Vortex so there wasn't much pressure on the climate control so I figured today was going to be a good time to get over what I think is my last bit of range anxiety. The full highway commute adds about 10 miles and a lot of mph but cuts of a good bit of time.

"The Weather Outside is Frightful..."
...But the LEAF is quite delightful...
A Facebook friend cracked that after the snowstorm and exceptionally cold weather before Christmas that our purchase of the LEAF had apparently singlehandedly reversed global warming and that maybe we should go back to gasoline.

Life Without a High Speed Charger
Now that the holiday craziness is over it's time to get back to posting. Looks like this one should have been posted a while back before we actually got the 240V charger but here it is anyway.
Harkening back to an earlier post in which we may have come to the conclusion that we were a little premature in actually bringing the car home, we learned to live with the trickle charger, but it wasn't easy.

EV of the Day
I really hope It gets to the point where I can no longer play this game. The game where my daily goal is unfulfilled until I spot an electric car. I win the game most days by spotting Tesla Model S's, Mitsubishi iMEVs, Nissan LEAFs or Chevy Volts. If I excluded the Volts I'd have a much lower win-loss ratio but I include them because they run all-electric for 30 miles or so. Those are my rules. Your game can have its own rules.
