True. Also, Nissan’s decision to use an “air-cooled” battery makes it the exception* in the world of EVs. Every other OEM designs a system around the battery to keep it like porridge that Goldilocks ate - not too hot, and not too cold... just right. The LEAF is a good EV; Nissan just prioritized other things ahead of…

But does the 7.6 kWh battery get it the carpool sticker?

Exactly. It’s almost like Toyota is sandbagging while spending a lot of time in Sacramento, DC, etc...

Level 2 are 240V, but amps vary. The spec goes all the way up to 19.2 kW, but may charging stations are ~3, 5, or 7 kW.

Drove a prototype plug-in hybrid 4x4 crew cab pickup for a few months back in 2012. It was awesome. Commuted in it. Took it on 300 mile road trips. Went camping. Took it off-roading (fire roads, not Lion’s Back). Hauled firewood.

Of the top 25 best-selling “cars” in the U.S., how many have a plug-in option and are widely available across the country?

1964 Willys Traveller with amber. Can confirm.

Nailed it. 

It’s akin to Homer, Lenny, and Karl choosing Mr. Burns to run the power plant.

Was it more of a Shelbyville idea?

This.

True, but at least the beltline is below the driver’s eye level.

The Cozy Coupe can drift... ask our three kids.

I can’t star this enough... and I’m a Jeep guy too.

Someone at Lincoln saw the Mach-E and said, “Hey, couldn’t we just use most of that instead?”

Thank you very much for this explanation. 

Thank you for this.

Jeep is going to plug-in hybrid all the things by 2025. Nissan could too.

I like it. A lot. Tribal infighting is not who we are.
