Nissan Leaf - 100% Electric car

hmmm..

Wonder what the cost is?
My Mazda P5 gets ~30mpg, if I assume $2.75/gal, fuel costs for the first 100K mi is ~$8300.

For the Leaf, 1st 100K mi's cost just over $3000, if you assume $3/100mi.

If you never had to replace the batt, and fuel cost stayed same, and repairs were ~ same, it would only save ~$10K over the life of the car. My mazda cost $16K new.
the Leaf needs to come in around Prius prices (mid/low 20's) to have a chance in the market IMO.

You must factor in the cost of the car to get a true bang for the buck! That's where the hybrids fall short and as for "GREEN"

15,000volts.... that's funny, and not.

I am all for high voltage in EV's, and the highest I will implement is ~600 Volts, still enough to easily kill someone, but at least no arcing.... 15,000V LOL

People will be surprised when a well thought EV comes out. I hope the person and/or company will last long enough to open their eyes.
