Participant[quote=briansd1]The Nissan Leaf is a great concept but it’s so ugly. It looks like a cross between a French Renault and an AMC Pacer.[/quote]
A little ugly superficially …
but everything else about it seems quite attractive.(former)FormerSanDiegan
Participant[quote=jpinpb]Agree w/SDR. Rent first, unless you are very familiar w/the neighborhood. I’ve lived in various places throughout San Diego over the past 20 years. Every ZIP has a different feel. Sometimes even streets make a difference.[/quote]
I concur. There are subtle changes within a block or two that are not appreciated until you are in the area a while. I moved to SD from the midwest in the mid 1990’s and was glad I rented for a year while I explored alternatives. Even after that I ended up moving out of our first house within 5 years to a place less than 1 mile away.

Participant[quote=CDMA ENG]The economics are not there… Nor is the practicality. The electric car is the direct desendant of the PV EV. I know there will be critics that say there were electric cars long before PV EV but the real evolution of the electric car was knowledge garnered from GM’s Sunrayce and World’s Solar Challenge. These were the testbeds for the more pratical electrical car.

What do you mean by the economics aren’t there ?
The Nissan LEaf is capable of 80-100 miles on a single charge, which costs less than $5. The purchase price of the car is in the $20-30K range.
http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index#/leaf-electric-car/indexA Solar suystem may be leased for $0 down and approximately the same monthly cost as a typical electric bill (assuming at least $150 per month in usage, which would likely apply for anyone who had an electric car, A/C).
