My neighbor had a Leaf and would hang a cord out her window to charge it. ( sounds like a joke, eh ? )
I live in an apartment.
As you can imagine, this was completely impractical and dangerous.
Not only were people tripping on her cord, but it was a fire hazard.
Seeing this, I gave up entirely on the idea of owning a Leaf.
Even if this girl charging her Leaf with a cord went to go charge at an actual charge station, she would have had to be there for hours and rack up a huge bill, since it is by the minute and not by the Kw.
It was only recently that I saw another resident here with a Leaf as well, and found out some have quick charging

I had the wrong idea about batteries, and thought that cold was worse than extreme heat.
( When it is cold and the battery dies )
I live in Austin.
The car would sit in 110 degree sun all day

How woukd this degrade the battery ?
