As far as I can tell, the LEAF is EV only... it may have an add-on option in the aftermarket, though, for a generator that increases it's range substantially.

Still, the LEAF is nearly 3 times more range than is actually required by the average driver. It's looks will surely be a short coming, though.

I've seen the CUBE... that thing is stupid-ugly. It was on RT17 with a Canada plate on it, headed through southern tier, NY (Horseheads area).
