Even now, the Leaf only goes 200 miles. Less than a 2018 Model 3. Not good enough.

I agree, Tesla was the viable option fora long time. The charging network is part of that even still.

The NACS connector is a big deal.

Range is important, but so is cost. Teslas are too expensive for Leaf owners.

My 7 seat EV only does at most 150 miles. But even now, two years later, there isn't anything else that comfortably fits 7 adults. Let alone not over twice the price. So 200 miles seams ok to me.

I agree standard charger connectors are important. But CHAdeMO is standard, just not in Europe or North America. Can't blame the Leaf for not knowing that would happen.

The Leaf is also one of the very few cars, least in the UK, which can be using bidirectionally. https://www.indra.co.uk/v2g/

I don't own a Leaf, but I respect what they did. You see loads of them here.
