1. How long do they think the battery will last.. the standard 5 years?
2. So it comes with roadside service the first two years, does that include if/when you become stranded with a dead battery?
3. Will this vehicle make the driver "power mad" i.e. "Don't run the AC, it sucks too much battery!"
4. So is it true that a "fill up" will cost about $4?
5. If this car sits idle for a few days, will it hurt the battery like on a hybrid?
6. Anyone know when/if the infrastructure will be such that this car will be widely feasible to the country?

Thanks in advance...

I guess my biggest question is this..

When will the Leaf be available for me here in Louisiana?

As of now, I'm looking for a purchase probably in 2012.. I'm currently researching the Leaf, and the PHV Prius. Will the Leaf even be available to me in 2012 where I live?
