Hi all ... have had a bad experience in the last little while with my wife's car, a Peugeot 207 HDI ... she only drives about 3000km per year and it's required more than $4K in service costs ... yep, more than $1 per km ... crazy
It's got me thinking about whether there is a viable EV on the market here to replace it ... the requirement is low km, around town, no trips (we'd take the MS for those)
Does anyone have any knowledge or recommendations here ? Is a Nissan Leaf a possibility ? We walked in to the local Nissan dealer today and they were pretty clueless (didn't have one to show us). They did however proudly show off this really large charging unit from Origin Energy (about 4x the size of the Tesla home unit) that apparently draws only 15A ... hmmmm ??
Supplemental question ... having invested a few $K in getting the Tesla home charger properly wired up (100A dedicated circuit) and noting that I'm not an electrician ... can the charging systems of any of the "other" EV's on the market leverage this more effectively than others ?
Thanks in advance
