Neil BrownI am quite keen on the idea of an electric car.
I am less keen on the idea of a car which spies on me.
I have an electric bicycle, which I love, and use as often as I can. But I am looking here for a car.
I kind of like the old Nissan Leaf, and it might *just* fit the bill, range wise. But I've also read various concerns. So I umm and aaah about them.
Newer electric cars leave me with a sense of "nice car you got there. Shame if we changed something about it or spied on you".
Peter McDonald@neil A elderly friend tried to do the right thing a few years ago and bought a old Leaf that had come off of a lease. Unfortunately the usable battery range was less than 40 MI, and the closest dealer for service was 50+ miles away with no charging point between. After a few strandings and several long distance tows, he wound up having to sell it. Due diligence would have saved a bit of a disaster.
@pmcdonald Ouch :(
Colin H.@neil @pmcdonald Interesting two part video here about a similar-ish situation.
