It's a bit reassuring that the Model 3 and Bolts are near the top of the list instead of just SUVs and trucks. It's sad to see the Leaf so low. And I still wish there was a new eGolf.

As a Leaf owner... it doesn't bother me. It's really not good enough for mainstream use. I basically use it as a city car. There are a ton of little things it does poorly too, want to stop charging at 80%? Nope, want to turn down how much power it's pulling on a charge? Nope. Their app is on the edge of useless. Sometimes I send it instructions to preheat the car, it acknowledges it, but then you get to the car after walking in the cold rain and it did nothing. Nissan needs to do better. They all do.

I feel it has more to do with the lack of "affordable" car choices that resulted in mostly Teslas being sold.

Electric cars will destroy the Amazon rainforest. We need less, not more. If we need to transport, get a cargo bike. It'll fit more than a stupid SUV monster truck designed to slaughter children
