Especially in light of the most recent Ford Focus EV release notice for just some CA and NY areas and NOT launch cities ---
At this point, I was on the initial reservation list for a LEAF (4/20/2010) and Nissan opened up IL for orders early so have confirmed delivery (as of just a day or so ago, they confirmed it should be here during the month of November, plus or minus 15 days) -- I really thought the Focus EV would be here before end of year and beat the LEAF to the Chicago market, after all it was a launch city remember?
So I wonder among the early adopter crowd how many EV sales Ford will loose to the LEAF (and soon after the Mitsu' iMiev)???
With the uncertainty of the Focus EV price, range and most importantly availability (despite the fact that I still love the looks of it versus the LEAF) some of us may have little choice unless they are willing to wait well into 2012 -- any others?
