Seriously, how often do you take hundred mile + trips?
Did you see the video? Rain and cold? Still battery heat problems.
Yes, Norway can have mild days too. But it ain't anything like f.i. Texan summers.

I seldom take 100+ mile trips. 85 mile trips are frequent though and often with a return leg within an hour or two.
With my driving style I could live with the Leaf, but others might not.

If you do take long trips, like to drive fast or live in a hot climate then you should know about #rapidgate before buying a Leaf.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
