Here's a link with two disappointing bullet points:

Nissan Leaf offers much more than zero-emission driving - egmCarTech

*Cd=0.28. Not bad, but I expected much better from a car without a grille.
*Quiet tires. LRR tires are not always quiet, especially at 50psi.
So the car needs a few tweaks.

Bryan, you're right that most Leaf owners will want to have a 220V charger installed in their garage. But if I had a Leaf, I'd also want a 120V charger installed in the car, and I'd keep a big orange extension cord in the trunk. I'd also convince the boss to let me install an outlet at the parking lot and plug in at work.
