Like a lot of the electric cars, the Leaf has it's place....short commutes/trips where getting to (or back to) a place that you can charge it for awhile is all someone needs.

Personally, I think they should worry less about making these types of vehicle available to the general public and make them mandatory for government vehicles (city, state, and fed), public works vehicles etc. Taxis and buses should be at least natural gas, hydrogen cell or electric.

They should also be available to cable companies, the phone companies, local utilities, etc....the places that typically have shorter total miles in a day and never really get that far from home/base.

To me, that would be a bigger savings than a typical commuter picking up a few mpg's per week.

Just my 2 cents.
