FINAL THOUGHTS

Overall the car is super cute, great for environment and definitely something worth experiencing. While I won’t be keeping that car for more than a year I am sold and will be staying in the electric car family, but I do need at least 200 miles per charged.

Ok, now let’s meet new MY car, her name is Baby Leaf, she’s white, 2015 and like I said she’s super cute!!! Let’s explore some of my features…. 

I finally have a HATCHBACK TRUNK that can holds more stuffffffff, like more EVERYTHING!! From my photography equipments, my blog shoots stuff to my Priiincesss Staycation bags and stuff.  And as you can see I’m SUPER excited about that!!

Howwwww cuteeee is this bag that the portable charge plug comes in?!?!

I actually went with this specific color because it comes with the backup camera, which is something new to me. Andddddd I also love how cute and simple the gear shift is…

Overalls Baby Leaf is bae and we are having the best time getting to know each other!!

Question for YOU? What kind of car do you currently drive and would ever consider get an ELECTRIC CAR???
