I talked to a man charging his leaf at walmart at the evgo fast charger. He had leased it new, commuted 100 miles a day, charged once via the nissan no charge to charge and said he was way ahead of gas for his previous car. and he was driving a late model car too.

On the other hand, he probably was pretty dependent on fast charging.

Wait until his current battery dies, and he has to get a new one.

For Tesla, it's close to 10k-12 or more.

But he leased the leaf. they don't degrade much in 3 years. truly not his worry.

That's many hundreds of thousands of miles down the road.
