If they actually made the base model in any reasonable number this might be inticing. There hundreds on the lots around me but none are under $50k and most are close to $60k. Affordable EV for the masses when?
The Nissan Leaf would be a great car for the masses if Nissan had given up on their stupid chademo connector years ago. It’s no big deal if you only ever charge at home but otherwise it’s a dealbreaker (unless you live in Japan).
It’s relatively roomy inside, small enough to park, great turning radius, decent but not great acceleration, and very sure-footed handling. It also supports V2H/V2G which is extremely uncommon.
