We embark on three months of short trips in Nissan’s electric car.
Welcome to an exceptional long-term road test, and our first all-electric experience. It’s also an exception to our normal long-term program. Nissan agreed to give us a Leaf for an extended, three-month loan, but we’re not going to cram our normal 40,000-mile regimen into that timeframe.

And as we’ve found from our brief encounter so far, we’re an impatient lot.
