#NissanLeaf sez: take THAT #JoeNocera

Last weekend, the New York Times op-ed columnist Joe Nocera wrote a paean to the Chevy Volt that was so biased, I openly wondered if Chevy had paid him. He dissed hybrids like the Toyota Prius by claiming the Volt wasn't one (really? Chevy admits it is) and simply wrote off all-electrics, not just high-dollar ones like the Tesla, but hte everyday Nissan Leaf.

Well, that "dissed" Nissan Leaf just climbed Pikes Peak with no recharge. And, it beat some base-level gas-powered cars while still having 1/4 of a charge. How's THAT, Joe?
