Leaf with Emissions

By Anthony Davis

The Nissan Leaf is one of the first fully electric production cars that will actually be released to the public. The pricing starts at 25,280, after tax savings from the federal government. You can go anywhere from 68 to 138 miles. They say this is based on how you drive and weather. The car is fully electric, not a hybrid which has a secondary gas engine. There is a lot of time and technology that went into this car; however, it would never work for me and many other people. They say that to fully charge it would cost about the same as it would to fill up with a tank of gas. Now does it make sense to spend more on the car and not save money? And you can't go nearly as far as you can on a tank of gas.
