My daily commute is done in my Leaf, I only need to buy petrol on the weekends for the motorbike. I used to use a Honda ST1300 for commuting, the Leaf is warmer and dryer and a LOT cheaper to run. I've calculated that I'll save ~$8k in the first 3 years. I sold the bike for $7k and bought the Leaf for $21k, leaving me down by $14k, after 3 years having saved $8k I'll only be down $6k, a further 3 years should have the entire difference in vehicle prices repaid. So far the battery is holding up nicely, should handle my 70km commute for more than 6 more years.
As a motorcyclist I love my Leaf, I can take the money I save on my daily commute and spend it on the bike!
