I get free charging at work (of course there could be a wait) and the place I am living at is installing them right now, of course they are getting so popular now that there is probably going to be a line in the near future.

Why not used Pry-us? Good gas mileage, Toyota so it'll work forever, and quiet

I would personally lease the Leaf, even if it's $240 a month. I love my Zs, but I'd rather have another DD. It's nice to drive something you don't really give a sh!t about, especially if it's fuel efficient. In your case, you'll be saving over $100 a week in fuel costs, you have a useable back seat, and the car's not yours. Total win OP.
