    I get where you are coming from kinda. I had a Honda Civic Aerotech for 8 years and thought it was a really good car. Re 'Range Anxiety' though. I have a 30+ mile commute and we have family holidayed 130+ miles from home. My Leaf is the old 24kw one...the smallest battery size...and range...

    Searching mounting-plate to secure battery to downtube with hose clamps

    Yes am doing exactly that, along with drilling the ally base of the battery bracket for the 3rd mounting & shim the other two so it sits level. If you don't read of any tales of woe regarding my battery falling off you know it has done okay ;-D
