GO FOR IT!

Just booked a rental on air miles. 1500 air miles is about $150 per week .. not sure how long your trips are. 6 times per year is under $1000, which is less than insurance up here.

We don't have EV service close (Saskatoon, Canada). Local nissan dealer sells used leafs but has not dished out the cash to equip the shop and train their techs.

So .. if a leaf needs service and is not fully charged, I'd have to trailer it 100 miles to a dealer. That's an issue.

GM dealer that sells the Volt is a crook, and has been for years. He'll happily replace the whole car one piece at a time .. and he has done that several times to others .. rather than do actual troubleshooting .. while your car doesn't work.

I wouldn't send my worst enemy to him for service. So the volt is out.

No other options besides build my own - and that's what I'm doing.
