Does anyone else get this uneasy feeling sometimes?
We're a one-car family with our Nissan LEAF. Unless we plan a long journey we tend to hover around 40-60% charged and the car has an hour on charge most evenings to top up from the previous day's activities.
But I have to admit that sometimes I feel really quite uneasy when I give it a second's thought. Having a car that, if emergency called, has only 20 or 30 miles range in it does make me feel a little "odd".
In an ICE, EREV etc I could just get up and go, but in the LEAF, I'd have to make it to a CHAdeMO and go from there, not exactly ready for any urgent calling.
Yet this has never actually happened to me, not once.
So why, after a year of LEAF ownership, does this still feel weird? And I am alone?!
