Nissan Leaf - The Answer to Peak Oil ?

[Rodge]

Was surprised to learn the Nissan Leaf's release is actually very close and saw one at a Big Biys Toy's show here last weekend. No pricing yet.

Here's a review:-

Reviewed a really depressing lengthy dissitation from one of the world's foremost experts, can post a link but its 46 minutes of ultra depressing stuff, so trust me you don't want to see it, but Peak Oil is something that can't be ignored, I reckon we're allready in the early stages of it.

So is the Nissan Leaf part of the answer ? What do you think of it ?

Could update the wife's Honda Civic hybrid with one and maybe use it from time to time and cut the fuel bills down but at what cost. Early adopters to pay quite a premium for this new technology, is it worth it ?? Remember when plasma TV's were $17,000 ?
