One thing that amuses me about EVs is that the fact that as you get "nicer" trims, you usually get less range (usually due to larger wheels)
"The Leaf S+ is the base model, with a 75 kWh long-range battery and a range of 303 miles ... The Leaf SV+ adds bigger wheels and a better infotainment system ... has a range of 288 miles"
(The same is true of my EV6, where the GT-Line trim has less range than the less expensive Wind trim)
Let's see how much the dealers will mark it up. In recent years, many cars that were advertised as reasonably priced ended up being unaffordable due to dealer pricing.
All these EVs should design affordable battery replacements from the start, to help reassure the owner. Imagine if they could promise the battery replacement cost would never be more than say, $7,500. In fact, I think quick swap batteries and universal connectors should be mandated.
