Drive Report from World’s Second Nissan LEAF Driver
January 03, 2011

Tom’s round-trip daily commute is 20 miles, so even on days when he commutes and take a couple of extra 10 – 15 miles jaunts to visit his clients, he still has plenty of range. “When I get up in the morning and it shows a 70 mile range, I just can’t imagine a scenario where I would get a caught.”

“I’m never going to have to go to a gas station. I’m never going to have gasoline smell on my hands. That smell is a funky thing that’s hard to wash off, that tells me it’s got into my body somehow. And like a pack of cigarettes, it has health warnings all over the pumps.”

The first week was a week of epiphanies for Tom: how his gas car uses three or four times the amount of energy as his electric car; how drivers of gas cars speed down the road in a small confined space with 20 gallons of highly flammable liquid on board; and just how much infrastructure is required to keep hundreds of thousands of gas stations available for refueling.
