The caravan was a hand-me-down; I don't need the space. I've already got a Prius.
2013 Leafs are showing up more frequently for $7,500 these days and I'm tempted to get one. However, my job requires that I drive a car no older than 4 years. I can either pick from their list (Legacy, Forester, Passat, Caravan, Grand Cherokee), or purchase my own vehicle. If the Runzheimer program allows leases, then maybe I'll lease the Bolt.
I wonder how low the gen I Leafs will go once the new Leaf and Tesla drop? At $7k, I can't imagine them going much lower. Any chance they could hit $3k in the next 2 years? Perfect vehicle for my parents.
... is this true? Quote from one of the reviews Neil linked.

The default is “D” or “Drive”, in which the Bolt EV behaves much like a normal, gasoline car. When you hit the brake pedal it uses regular friction brakes, but you can trigger regenerative braking – the car’s motor flipping into generator mode, converting energy back into battery power – by pulling the paddle on the left of the steering wheel.
