just to add to the financial
just to add to the financial benefit of driving electric. my other car is a 49 MPG Toyota Prius and despite its efficieny, it is still 270% more expensive to drive than my Nissan LEAF. In July, i paid $61 for gas to drive the Prius 818 miles but put out LESS than $30 to drive the LEAF 1587 miles. I will not mention that I also took advantage of the currently free quick charge stations in our area as well (when is the last time you got free gas??) If I wanted to, I could drive the LEAF for free (like LEAF owners with solar)
