What model year is your Leaf ?

Perhaps new battery or the Colorado climate has been kind to your battery .

Our 2012 leaf had 32,000 + miles on it when we bought it . Only had a 3.3 kw charger .

I think the 6.6 kw charger came out on the 2015 models ? Think the 2015 came out with the Lizard battery , which is suppose to be more heat tolerant .

Happy you are doing so well with your Leaf . :-)

I would think long and hard about a Chevy Volt , if I came by a good one at the right price .

My situation is , being semi retired & Wifey fully retired , I do not pay enough taxes for the $ 7,500 tax credit to do much good . So , I would have to get a good / aggressive lease . Or buy used at a good depreciated price .

And our state does not offer any incentives . But I think there is a federal tax credit of 30% of the cost of the EVSE + installation . Will check that out , come tax season .

God bless
