so as per my question, any real owners out there suggest a charger. I thought I was going to be getting a free one via EV Project as I got the SL with quick charger but my zip code didn't qualify.
Thanks in advance.

I hope you don't regret it either. Greg bought me an Insight for my daily commute for less than the Leaf rebate. It costs pennies to insure, gets a discount to register, and it gets 62 mpg. I hope the Leaf proves to be worth the cost.BadQ45t wrote: I hope I don't wish I had bought a (gasp) Prius instead as this was already 10k more (but you get some rebates to offset that increase) and now has another 2 grand in charger install.

Have to disagree with you on the performance of the Leaf. After first testing it in Franklin, TN and then at a race track this past summer, the Leaf was much better and faster than either the Prius or the Lexus CT200h. The Li-ion battery pack gives the Leaf a low CG, which really aids handling. The eco-tires don't have a lot of grip, but I could still drive it in a controllable four wheel drift and have a good sense of the car's limits. The Toyota/Lexus hybrids were much softer in handling, braking and acceleration.BadQ45t wrote:This I can tell you, the ride, handling and acceration of the Leaf is not in the same category with the Pruis never mind a 10 year old Honda.
