Anyone drive an electric vehicle? Like a Nissan Leaf? What do you think?

We are considering an electric vehicle.  The cost of the lease and the electricity would be about what we are currently spending on gas each month.  For a brand-new car!

 

But, I don't know anyone who drives one.  I read good reviews, but would love to hear from anyone who drives one.

No experience here, but my local Walgreens has reserved electric parking with a charging station. Our library has electric/hybrid parking too. I almost walked behind an electric car as it backed up. I couldn't hear an engine so I didn't realize the car was about to move, so expect to be extra vigilant until people get used to silent cars suddenly moving.

Yes, it can be dangerous. Legislation has been in the works over this for awhile, http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/01/08/government-require-electric-cars-make-noise/bGmucrhawg3ftkIi7HqdQO/story.html
