Our Echo is still going strong, but at 240,000 miles I'm starting to consider options for a new car.
I know gas prices are low, but I think we'd enjoy an electric car, partly just for the fun of it. Also, being a minimalist, I like owning a car which is much less complex than a gas-powered vehicle.
We test drove a Leaf recently, and enjoyed it.
What are some things I should be considering?
For example,
1. Would there be any reason (other than fun-ness) to buy one now rather than wait for the Echo to die?
2. Big improvements in range might be right around the corner.
3. Could a Tesla be worth the extra cost?
