I wonder how many households realized they didn't need all that range after all since they have a second ICE car anyways. So the Leaf pretty much stays in a 30 miles radius of the house.
- WorldMaker 6y agoFrom my own anecdotal evidence I think a lot of people absolutely underestimate the impact of home charging (even at "trickle" Level 1 in the US) versus "range anxiety". In the nearly a decade I've had my PHEV, two of my three daily commutes I could and did entirely every day on the range I can Level 1 trickle charge entirely at home overnight. People massively over-estimate the range they think they need because they don't take things like home charging into account.
- theshrike79 6y agoExactly this. From a regular European 230V outlet you can get 100km of range every night easily. Even more if you don't work 16 hour days. The average commute around here is a bit over 50km a day, both ways combined.
