I have not decided if I will install a level two charger or not. I saw on one of your other posts that you plan to do so. What was your thinking, just curious.
Enjoy!

Level 2 is on order from Amazon. The wife's commute is perfect distance for all electric. Given the very good deal I got the added charger cost still below total cost for a gas X5. X5 parked right next to breaker panel so easy/cheaper install too.
Got lease because while I do love electric cars I'm not 100% convinced of battery and tech longevity. For me that's a big deal. First vehicle I've ever leased. Don't want to get 'stuck' with luxury hybrid worth very little after 3 or 4 years. Lease best way to assuage my fears.
What's the preheat/cool departure thing?
