We're going to test drive the Nissan Leaf this afternoon, my husband is really into the idea all of a sudden and we're in the market for a second car (our current car is a Toyota Venza).

I am on the fence, on paper, it sounds almost too good to be true, but I can't shake the idea that something would go horribly wrong. I realize that there are a lot of risks in riding around in a car with a gas tank, but it's more normalized and what I am used to, if that makes sense.

I am curious, does anyone use an electric car full time, for their commute, around town? Have you been in the market for an electric but decided otherwise?
