    the USA market EV is a luxury market. EV drivers are primarily paying 50K+ or more for these cars as a status symbol. Your average school teacher can’t afford an EV, and is buying a used hybrid/ICE car.

    Brand new Nissan Leaf is under $30K. Used lightly under $14K for a 2021 model. The sweet spot with EVs is used because idiots think they will explode in 3 years. The beauty of ignorance is a cheap alternative for those who read.

    This thread thinks EVs are Teslas. You can buy facial tissues for a lot less than Kleenex.

      it’s also a shitty car nobody wants. Nissan has a horrible reputation.

      you seem to think people are jerks for not buying a crappy EV when they can get a much better ICE for the same/less?

      why would i ever buy a leaf if it is a POS that doesn’t meet my needs?
