2011 Nissan Leaf: Range Anxiety for No Reason
2011 Nissan Leaf - Range Anxiety for No Reason - Automobile Magazine
WEEK FOUR: June 6-13, 2011

However, despite my short-distance, mostly urban travels, I couldn't help but be anxious that I would run of juice. To my eyes, the range meter was a countdown clock to the moment when I would become stranded on the side of the road. Following is a chronicle of my week with the Leaf.

Why automakers are looking to make it in the big city.

If your car ever breaks down in New York City, you could do worse than to have it towed to the Mercedes-Benz dealer on the lower west side of Manhattan. The newly opened, $220-million glass palace looks like -- and is -- a monument to modern European design, but it also serves as a full-service dealer.
