So Thomas Franklin from Englewood, CO was in San Diego to be the 2nd owner of the Nissan Leaf. He's going to be doing a lot of charging on the way back to Denver.

Just a tid bit of information I'd let you guys know since he's from my area.

.....So what exactly is the range of this car on a full charge again?

EDIT: 73 miles? Yeah, I don't know if he's going to be able to drive that back. There's places that in-between gas stations is almost 100 miles between CA and CO. Idk how he's planning on pulling this one off...

True, when you factor in the regenerative braking. But that's not really going to play a factor in highway driving. Just saying, I bet it'll be great once he finally gets the car there, but I would think it would be a headache on the trip.
