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.
