No regrets, I'm still loving my 3.6 kW slow-charging 2014 Leaf S after 2.5 months. It dropped its first bar a month after I got it, so the seller timed it just right! I have a 3.8 kW AmazingE EVSE at home. There's lots of free L2 charging in my neighborhood (LA suburb), and from what others tell me, some of the free chargers might be limited to 3.6 kW anyway, so I'm not missing out there. I haven't had to pay for any charging yet, but it's fun to scout out the local chargers to share info & pics on Plugshare. Some of those are 6+kW chargers, and have an hourly rate (vs. per kW), meaning I'd get less charge per $$ than a 6.6kW Leaf, so that's a drawback. There's a Tesla model 3 owner I see charging for free (L2) at McDonald's. He's had his car back for service twice since December.![;)]( "Wink")
