40% Nissan Leaf owners use Solar panels

California Center for Sustainable Energy recently found that 40 percent of consumers who own the all-electric Nissan Leaf also have solar panels on their homes. These vehicles take a significant amount of time and energy to charge between trips, so the cost of doing so can potentially be as high as normal gas bills.

The nationwide desire for more fuel efficient vehicles has led to an explosion in popularity for hybrid cars, including those that use a combination of gasoline and electricity. Many of the people who own these vehicles also turn to solar energy to help defray the higher electric bills that come with them.
