I drive 77 miles to work on Sunday night. Then my car sits till Friday afternoon when I drive 80 miles home. (traffic, different route) There is nowhere to charge at work. (I was considering a Leif).

What do you think that would do to the battery, I mean sitting partially charged for 5 days?

I had a CR-Z and it would be almost fully charged when I got to work. It wouldnt lose much while sitting for those 5 days.

Any ideas on the difference in the 2 systems?

edit...

Another question just popped into my mind, can you fire the heaters up in the car and it still be plugged up? That would save some of your range.
