My impression on Leaf ownership -- they're extremely reliable but honestly not so fun to drive. They're heavy and handle like a boat.
Yeah, you can charge it at ChargePoint. We do, sometimes. It can be pretty pricey unless you have a hook up for free charging.
Do you have a backup, in case that charger goes down? (I guess you could find one in Austin without much trouble.)
The accessory battery has the same limitations as an ICE car's battery if it sits for long periods. Best to trickle charge it.
Overall, from what I remember of your driving situation, I wouldn't do it. Rent a Tesla on Turo for a couple days, you'll save a lot of money that way.
I suppose you could test drive ours, if you want (msg me).
