$6500 you say? You've perked my interest. Basically an EV has to cost less than what I could get for selling my 2006 Acura TSX. The 20011 Leaf is down under $10k now, and I was thinking maybe in 2 years the 2013 would be similarly priced.

My parents live 66 miles away on a mostly freeway route where traffic averages 65 MPH in the slow lane. Could I make the trip comfortably in the MEV? I assume using headlights or AC/heater would affect my chances.
