Nissan Leaf owner clocks 100,000 miles on Odometer [VIDEO]

A man in Washington state has just clocked over 100,000 miles in his Nissan Leaf, an all electric car.  This is thanks to Washington's charing infrastructure.

While the Nissan Leaf owner, Steve Marsh, did not put as many miles on his car as someone like Herb Gordon and his Volvo P1800, I think 100,000 miles is pretty good.

“With a daily commute of about 130 miles, I’ve saved more than $9,000 compared to my old gas-powered car since I bought my LEAF,” commented Marsh. “With plenty of public charging options, as well as a charger installed at my office, my LEAF is a perfect car for my commute.”

Do you think a Nissan Leaf or another electric car can get more miles than 100,000?

Even though I don't live in Howard County I think it is important for people to be aware of of Speed Cameras and their locations around the Baltimore-Washington metro area.  Citations and tickets issued through the speed camera program are only a $40 fine and there are no points added to your driving record.  Still, that $40 can add up quickly if you are not careful.

I found this list on the Howard County Government website and so it is the most accurate it can be as of this writing.
