Ive owned LEAFS and plug in hybrids since 2013 and I love them. EVs have virtually no maintenance requirements beyond rotating the tires. No oil changes, no tune ups, no emissions inspections, never having to change brake pads by using regenerative braking. Its a much better choice for saving the environment and securing the future for children and grandchildren.Mar 06, 2024

Overall, this is a fantastic vehicle. We wanted to move to an EV and decided to take this for a test drive. Our expectations were low, but this car has exceeded them all. It has amazing safety features for the young drivers in our household, and solid perks such as heated seats and steering wheel. The car handles well and it a pleasure to drive. While it looks small from the outside, the roomy interior makes it feel large, and it holds our teenagers and all of their gear. Easy to charge with a 110 outlet in our garage--no electrician needed.
