I knew it wouldn't take long...the parking attendant approached us and said the car would be cited if it remained in the charge spot for more than 4 hours. It was embarrassing for me to be part of that conversation since I move my car as soon as it's done charging, but at the same time, I felt...

Exactly. Nissan was losing out in sales because the uninformed incorrectly assumed the Leaf had less range than the competition. I would have preferred if Nissan would have left that feature intact on the 2014s and just had it set to 100% by default so they could still get their rating. The...
