[Oeva-list] Leaf Sales

[Rhonda Walton]

Hi all,

Allan Web here in Vancouver is good about promoting both the Leaf, volt and
the Mitsubishi I. But boy did my deal fall apart after the sale of  my
second Leaf. I am so not happy.

The biggest thing I wish dealers would do is to not leave the Leaf charged
at 100% while it sits on the lot. Doing so for such a long time isn't good
for the longevity of the battery, particularly through the hot summer
stretch we just had a few weeks back.
