I test drove a 2015 Leaf S with a 3.3kW charger. But any 2013 or later SV or SL come with the 6.6kW charger. Also the 2016 and 2017 SV and SL's come with a 30kWh battery.
My Leaf apparently lived in Utah before coming here to Colorado. It had to be out-of-state because the place I bought it from imports EV's to Colorado since there's a loophole in the Colorado tax system that allows any Colorado resident to get the Colorado tax credit as long as it's the first time the EV was registered in Colorado, new or used. I thought about going clear to Florida and getting a Leaf for as little as $5,000. But I'm happy with my purchase here.
Also, the way I understand it is that you get the tax credit regardless if you owe taxes or not. If you don't owe any taxes you get a tax refund check. I'm going to get nearly $3,000 from Colorado and usually pay less than $1,000 in taxes. So that means I'll be getting a $2,000 check. Sweet, isn't it!

I do not think that is how the federal incentive works ? With a lease , the $ 7,500 goes to the leasing company , reducing the total " cost " of the vehicle , there by eventually reducing the cost of the lease .
But I could be wrong .
Our state offers Zero incentives , or if it did , those allocated funds are gone .
God bless
