I'm kind of on Frank's side of the fence on this one.

Robert, I guess the secret is to accelerate at the same energy consumption rate that you can achieve with max regeneration.

Maybe I'll get a chance to drive one. A good friend is the head of a local Nissan dealer and we have bought several cars from him in the last few years.

It would be interesting to see what the range would be around here with some conservative driving techniques, and my garage never gets very cold in the winter.

They will probably be in the salvage auctions in the next few months. It would be really neat to get one of the batteries for an electric car conversion , or just rebuild the car if it is nailed in the but like my VX.
