In a column for The Wall Street Journal in May, Holman W. Jenkins Jr. wrote that subsidies for the Leaf (and for Chevrolet’s Volt hybrid) were a “boondoggle”: "Let’s concede that the Leaf and Volt will be nifty gadgets, but not unless we’re going to start subsidizing Ferraris for the tiara set is it possible to imagine a more regressive tax subsidy. In particular, the Leaf is a car for a wealthy hobbyist, good for a trip of 100 miles after which it becomes an inert lump at the end of your driveway (or behind a tow truck) for the many hours it will take to recharge." --------------------------------------------------------------- Me, I'm waiting for version 2.0. I've had too many electrically powered rechargeable gadgets where the batteries went bad. Bearable when it's a Roomba, and a new battery is $40, but when the battery pack costs $18,000?
