The Nissan Leaf is here! It's 100% electric and according to the commercial I saw last night, if you buy one you'll get to hug a polar bear. (okay maybe not)

It appears that you need a garage so you can install the charging dock/fueling station at your home.
I don't have a garage.
But once I have a garage....watch out..because I'm going to be hugging some polar bears.
Since it will likely take a few years for us to see exactly how this car will operate on the road and if there are many performance deficiencies, I think I can wait until I have the garage. I only hope that people do buy this car so Nissan continues to make them and other car companies compete..which would only result in the best electric cars possible on the market.
Don't forget the General Motor's EV1 of the 90's that sank horrifically. I recommend this documentary if you haven't seen it. http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com/
