He actually has several cars, but the one he drives to work every day is his Nissan Leaf.



It's 100% electric with no gas engine. You get 95 miles of range from a 3 hour charge. I love the single speed transmission with no stutters for gear changes like a normal car. But my favorite feature is the ability to turn on the air conditioning from an app on my phone, so I never have to get into a hot car. The lease is only $300/month and I save about $100 in gas per month. The same 1000 miles with the Leaf requires $10 worth of electricity. The maintenance schedule is ridiculous. Every two years you have to replace the brake fluid and cabin air filter. That's it.

Starting the car.



You get some noise from wind and the tires, but it's an extremely quiet car.
